Our Spaces

Blueprint Project is designed to give support to artists at three different phases of the creative process. Artists may apply at any of the phases listed below, and Blueprint will provide support through each subsequent phase of their project:
​
I. Writing Phase

• Artists in this phase are in the earliest stages of writing a new work. Artists will receive a weeklong residency at Blueprint, working space, room and board, a collaborative partner and/or mentor.*

II. Development Phase

• Artists in this phase have completed portions of their new work. Artists will receive a weeklong residency at Blueprint, working space, rehearsal space, room and board, musicians, and a mentor.*

III. Workshop Phase

• Artists in this phase have completed an entire draft of their work. Artists will receive a weeklong residency at Blueprint, working space, rehearsal space, room and board, musicians, and a collaborative support team.*

*The support provided by Blueprint will be tailored to the needs of each project. The individuals assigned to each project will be determined by needs and availability as resources allow. These may include the following:

• Mentors (professional composer or librettist)
• Musicians (student and/or professional)
• Collaborative support team (i.e. stage director, dramaturg, producer)

Our Project​

​The Blueprint Project is a composer-librettist residency designed to bring new American opera to life. Our mission is to nourish and guide composers and librettists through the creative process by offering resources to assist bringing new ideas to fruition. These include quiet spaces for rehearsing and creating, and a network of  professionals that include established composers, directors, librettists, dramaturgs, producers, and musicians who are passionate about reimagining and invigorating opera in the twenty-first century.
