I hope everyone is doing well out there. We are extending the deadline for the SCRTS call during this time. The new deadline is Thursday, April 30 by 4:00 pm PDT.

We also added an opportunity for an Artist Residency at the SCRTS with the same extended deadline. Artists/Teams may apply for both opportunities but may only be selected for one.
