Regional Emerging Artist Residency — July - January 2009
DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES: April 1, 2009 (July-January Residency)
Residency
Established in January 2000, the Regional Emerging Artist Residency is
a program that provides emerging visual artists with time and space to
explore their work in a supportive, thriving, artistic environment. One
artist in his or her early professional career is chosen from a regional
pool of applicants.
Artspace grants two 6-month residencies per year in Raleigh, NC. The residency
includes a private, rent-free studio with 24-hour access. Artspace does
NOT provide transportation or
living quarters.
Each month residents are presented to the Triangle community during Artspace's
opening receptions and gallery walks. A fully supported exhibition of
the resident's work will be presented in the Artspace lobby after the
residency.
The primary focus of the program is to provide an artist with time for
independent work, but some participation in Artspace programs is expected.
During the residency, artists must contribute to Artspace's educational
programs and tours by working in their studios during business hours,
especially during scheduled tours. Resident artists will also be expected
to give a presentation, talk, and/or demonstration to the public during
the 6-month period or during their exhibition.
