I still have questions.
If you've got other questions not covered here please hit us up at contact@futureclassic.com
Is the Residency still taking applications?
We closed the Residency in July 2020 as the first round of this program has now been concluded! If you'd like to check out any of the successful applicants please visit the "artists" tab of our site. Thank you to everyone who entered this program!
What is it?
It’s a studio residency and mentorship program running July 2019 - July 2020.
When are applications due?
Applications are now open for submission and close July 2020.
How do I enter?
You can enter by submitting this form and then uploading your customized Dropbox Paper document.
What is the Dropbox Paper doc?
It’s your creative pitch. We want to know about your artist world. We’re tasking you to open your world to us—add photos, audio notes, videos, demos, inspiration, goals, summaries, stage design ideas. We want to know who you are, what inspires you, what you’re passionate about, things you disagree with, what you’re a fan of - there is no right or wrong. It’s as much of a creative exercise for you as it is for us.
What do you want us to include on the Dropbox Paper doc? What shouldn’t we include?
Do:
- highlight the things that are important to your project
- add the topics you care about
- add demos, photos, videos
- use the timeline feature
Don’t:
- add fluff for more volume
- include any work that isn’t your own
How can I better my chances of being selected?
We’ll be selecting the final two residents after the July 2020 submission deadline. Fill out the form, pitch your project and tell us about yourself in Dropbox Paper and you’re in the running! Feel free to check out the reference Dropbox Paper Documents on the ‘Paper’ page. You will only be notified if you are selected.
Is it all expenses paid?
We will cover studio time, flights and accommodation in LA+ industry mentors during the Residency.
Does it matter if i have a manager or not?
Either way is fine. We’re in the business of helping artists at all stages of their careers and with teams of all sizes.
What is Future Classic’s involvement?
We love meeting and helping develop artists. We know how expensive studio time can be - that’s one of the reasons we built the Future Classic x Dropbox studios and have been hosting friends and artists we admire for the past year. We can help with a&r resource and creative consulting during the weeks you are here. We’ve put together a few of our industry peers and mentors to also offer their advice and lend a helping hand.
Who has been through the Future Classic x Dropbox studio?
We’ve had a lot of amazing people at our studio this year: SOPHIE, Moses Sumney, JPEGMAFIA, Clams Casino, Emma Louise, Jacques Greene Axel Boman and a bunch more. If you’re curious to see who else, scroll through here here.
Will I have to participate in any content while I’m doing the residency?
Yes, we’d like to collaborate with you to make creative content to share with your channels and our channels during this residency. The brief is fairly open for what that content could look like; it could be filming a session, filming a performance, or doing a quick interview on camera.
What if I cannot attend in the time period that is available?
We’ll be liaising with applicants to do our best to accommodate your availability and prior commitments.
