Find your bearings.

Proxima creates small-group residencies that bring guests into meaningful proximity with exceptional professional artists. The experience is built around attentive conversation, shared time, and access to the practice behind the finished work.

The World of Trumpet is a five-night Proxima residency featuring Louis Dowdeswell and Caleb Hudson. Guests encounter the artists through conversations, workshops, rehearsals, private performances, shared meals, and informal time together.

Each residency is intentionally limited to a small group. The exact size may vary according to the artists, setting, and structure of the individual residency.

No specific professional credential, artistic training, or specialized knowledge is required unless a residency states otherwise. Proxima values curiosity, openness, consideration, attentive listening, and thoughtful participation.

Every residency is shaped around its featured artists. Programming may include artist-led conversations, workshops, rehearsals, private performances, shared meals, and informal encounters. The individual residency page will describe its particular structure.

Complete the application for the residency you wish to attend. You will be asked for basic details, your relationship to the subject of the residency, and a small number of written responses. Thoughtful and honest answers are more useful than polished ones.

Proxima looks for guests who are curious, open, considerate, and prepared to participate thoughtfully. Selection is not based solely on credentials or expertise; the quality of the small group matters to the experience.
