About Co-Create
Co-Create is a collaboration residency program
for emerging and established artists, musicians and creatives of all kinds. In the program, residents are selectively paired with another creative in another field to collaborate virtually on a project. Co-Create provides pairs with guidance and access to recording, video and art-making resources to help them produce their creative works.
Co-Create launched its first residency in June 2020, just after COVID-19 forced us all into isolation. Looking for ways to keep the creative community inspired and connected, Otherwise Studios and Bumaroo teamed up and designed this virtual residency program.
We are thrilled to showcase the creative works of Co-Create 2021.
For updates on Co-Create, future calls for applications, and more fun projects and events, follow Otherwise Studios and Bumaroo!
