SUMMARY:Call for Teen Artists! BAC + ENU Builds Teen Arts Residency 2026-2027 - Application Open
DESCRIPTION:Call for Teen Artists!\nOur applications are open for the BAC & ENU Builds 2026-27 Teen Arts Residency open to rising high school juniors and seniors in the NY-NJ-CT tri-state area.\n\n\nBethany Arts Community (BAC) offers residencies to emerging and established artists for the development of both new works and works-in-progress. In partnership with ENU Builds\, we identified a need across our communities to build a residency for the most emerging artists: high school artists of all mediums. \nENUBuilds and the Bethany Arts Community are thrilled to be hosting the 4th Annual Teen Arts Residency. The 1st Teen Arts Residency in February 2024 welcomed seven local students to Bethany for three days. Over the course of three days\, students had time and space to work on their craft\, collaborate with one another\, and learn from a mentor. From this original cohort\, our Annual Teen Arts Residency continues to grow. Currently\, the program is split up over two 4-day portions of the residency over the academic year\, taking on up to seven high school Juniors and Seniors. \nThe 4th Annual Teen Arts Residency will take place in both Fall 2026 and Spring 2027. One cohort will be selected to participate in both the Fall and Spring portions of the residency. During the Fall portion of the residency\, artists will be encouraged to explore their discipline\, while brainstorming and settling on a project idea. During the Spring portion of the residency\, students will continue to work on and eventually share their project(s). \n\nIn applying\, students must be able to commit to attending both portions of the residency. \nELIGIBILITY: This residency is open only to rising high school juniors and seniors (Class of 2027 & 2028) in the NY\, NJ\, CT tri-state area.  \nArtists are provided room & board and a studio conducive to their artistic medium and/or project. \nThere is no cost to apply or to participate.  \nResidency Dates: November 5-8\, 2026 & March 11-14\, 2027\nApplication Open: January 22\, 2026\nApplication Due: May 26\, 2026 by 11:59PM EST\nNotifications: June 16\, 2026 \nTo check out our grounds and more\, visit our website at www.bethanyarts.org.  \nIf you have questions or concerns about accommodations for your artistic practice\, please email: submit@bethanyarts.org. \nClick Here to Apply!

She started studying piano at the age at 5 and grew up between Turin and Udine. At the age of 12 she studied with renowned concert pianist Maria Golia and obtained a degree in Music history at the Conservatory of Music in Torino\, Italy. After taking part to a series of piano competitions and concerts all over Italy such as Stresa\, Albenga\, Pinerolo\, Bobbio\, Udine etc. and winning several first prizes\, she took a performing hiatus and refined her teaching skills. Ten years ago\, in 2015\, she moved to New York City and has worked as a Music teacher at La Scuola d’Italia\, a bilingual Italian-American school located on the Upper East Side and collaborated with many chamber ensembles and opera singers. She loves exposing herself to New Music and working with young living composers. In May 2024\, she took part to a concert dedicated to the music of French living composer David Chaillou and in March 2025 she collaborated with American composer and soprano singer Stephanie Susberich who presented her song cycle based on the poetry of cuban Juana Borrero. In the meantime\, she has refined her studies in Piano\, Music theory and Composition\, obtaining a Music\ndegree from Hunter College in June 2024\, while taking part to several Masterclasses and Workshops\, including an intensive week in Composition at the Juilliard School in June 2023. Because of her international identity\, Brenda is presenting two distinct but nevertheless interconnected piano programs which aim at promoting American and Italian composers both in Europe and the\nUnited States; her goal is to popularize less known musicians such as Anna Bon\, Teresa Procaccini\, William Grant Still\, Florence Price\, Tania Leon (winner of the 2021 Pulitzer Price in Music and Kennedy Center Honoree) and many more\, including her own piano compositions.
