Our artist residency is the perfect professional development opportunity for creative individuals across the spectrum of experience. Artists benefit from time to research, focus and explore while living among a community of makers in this supportive and immersive environment. We view this as a collaborative relationship where we all help each other. Historically, ceramics and fibers have been our most popular programs, however, we are looking to grow our two dimensional art program. We are accepting applications for one live-in and one offsite resident currently. Painters, printmakers, photographers, and artists working in other two-dimensional media are encouraged to apply.
Studio space for the 2D residents will may be either shared or private depending on space available. Studio space and 2D classrooms are conveniently located next door to the residents' living quarters. We have stockpiles of materials available, and can order more at discounted prices through our provider.
In addition to developing a body of work, residents may participate in our annual sale and exhibition schedule. Year-long residents are given a solo show in our beautiful gallery at the completion of their term. Artists are encouraged to explore any and all facets of what we have to offer, including collaborative projects and grant seeking.
Here at Access Arts we strive to provide creative learning experiences for everyone. As an artist in residence your living quarters, some materials and 24‐7 access to our facilities will be provided in exchange for only 10 hours per week of service helping to teach classes and maintain studios. We are actively seeking to grow our 2D program, so residents will be expected to participate in developing curricula and community outreach activities.
The residents are the heart of our wonderful and diverse community and we expect sincere investment in the growth of this community. Potlucks, informal critiques and late night philosophical discussions are typical. Residents who participate wholeheartedly in the experience gain the greatest benefit from our program.
