NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The nonprofit arts collective that created the Oscar-nominated movie “Beasts of the Southern Wild” is taking applications for its first residency program .

Court 13 Arts says it will provide $2,000 stipends plus studio space and supplies to four artists, craftspeople and non-artists who show “talent, imagination, conceptual creativity, technique and risk-taking.”
