ICA•RDI Artist-in-residence
Home base for ICARDI - Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada - Bird's Eye View
ICA•RDI Proposition - Lunenburg, Nova Scotia will prioritize and fast-track IMMIGRATION for international contemporary artists. Lunenburg steps forward to become the first Nova Scotia community to participate in a provincial plan to negotiate an agreement with the federal government to allow 10,000 to 15,000 immigrants per annum over 10 years to come to Nova Scotia with the specific intent of repopulating our rural and small-town areas. - as per Nova Scotia Commission on Building Our New Economy (Ivany Commission on Nova Scotia’s Economic Future) February 2014 -
Lunenburg’s historic fishing and shipping industries connected the town to other world ports through international trade routes and by virtue of its position as safe port of destination, Lunenburg has a historical connection to the “international” going back to the 1750’s.
Agency: ICA•RDI International Zone is a proposal for a section of the Lunenburg waterfront to be given special status. For the area to be designated by the town as an economic development zone, a specially zoned area, an industrial zone, a free trade zone (e.g. customs: where artists can bring in and ship out work they are developing easily), a “UNESCO zone”, a designated zone that has a focus or mandate to attract and provide office, studio, and presentation spaces for internationally based arts and cultural organizations that are attracted to the town because of this status. To cluster together arts & cultural organizations which reach out to connect Lunenburg with the world (e.g. the Picton Castle’s world excursions, multidisciplinary international art festivals, residences, schools for visual art, media art, theatre, music, etc.), organizations that promote international artistic cultural freedom and exchange such as ICA•RDI. By using United Nations flags, flags of different nations (related to the international artists-in-residence) and unique international banners to define this area, it will have a distinctive visual appearance, defining a unique International Zone on the Lunenburg waterfront, as a special destination place in Lunenburg for the community and for our guests and visitors.
