ARTIST RESIDENCY: 1 Week River Retreat

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!

CATCH and RELEASE?

One of my favorite things about a river vacation getaway or retreat is the trout.  I like to catch them.  I like to eat them.  I do not like to clean them.  It isn’t about my wanting to be ignorant of the source of my food or the avoiding the death of a living being.  I just don’t like the guts part.  No, really.  If you’re a little squeamish too, make sure you take someone along for this next week-long artist residency on the river.  Take a look…

Check out this Artist Residency Opportunity from Vision Quest Photo.  It would be a great deal at the normal cost of $675; however, here is your chance to get a grant to spend a free week at the Trade River Retreat Center!  For those of you that don’t normally consider Artist in Residence programs due to an inability to leave home for months at a time, this might just be your chance!

ARTIST RESIDENCY:  Trade River Retreat Center

Learn more about Vision Quest Photo online!Vision Quest Photo Workshops announces a new yearly grant of a one-week photographic artist’s residency.  Spend five days to one week alone in the woods devoted to nourishing your artistic spirit at Vision Quest’s Trade River Retreat Center in NW Wisconsin.

Stay in a very private retreat in the woods along the banks of a pristine sand-bottom river. The Trade River Retreat Center is located near Grantsburg, Wisconsin, an hour and a half from the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, MN.

ARTIST RESIDENCY: Torpedo Factory Art

I almost moved to Paducah, Kentucky.  When I was deciding where to move, I tripped across their Artist Relocation Program.  I visited Paducah and FELL IN LOVE with a huge pickle/tamale factory from the early 1900s.  Fate interceded, and I ended up in Gatlinburg.  But, I find myself drawn to factories over and over again.  This Call for Applications details another great use for an old factory. 

Art is so cool.

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!I’M A TRASHY GIRL

Did you know you can go green in the kitchen?  Aside from the obvious measures of choosing foods with less packaging, limiting waste and reusing containers, you can also compost.  I’m not talking about those huge composters that conjure images of big stink trash cans.  I’m talking about countertop composters.  This next call invites you to explore environmentally-friendly art options.

Check out the Call for Entries for the 2011 I-Park Environmental Art Program which is part Artist Residency and part Art Installation.  This is a great opportunity to be green AND get your art out there.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: 2011 I-Park Environmental Art Program

Red Balloons by Alice BettsI-Park is pleased to announce that it will be hosting its third international, multi-disciplinary Environmental Art Biennale on September 10, 2011.  This will be preceded by a 3-week residency that begins on August 23, 2011.  This residency is exclusively for the artists who will be creating pieces for this event.

I-Park’s interest in environmental goes back to its early years as an artists-in-residence program. Visual artists in particular were drawn to the rich, varied natural landscape existing at I-Park and were permitted to create modest pieces on the land. This evolved into a practice of active staff support and encouragement for more ambitious installations. In 2007, a separate residency session was created, devoted solely to the field of environmental art; a successful exhibition was held later that year. 

Glass Bottom Livingroom by Ted EfremoffELIGIBILITY:  Artists working in the following fields:  Environmental sculpture/installation, Landscape/garden design, Music composition, sound sculpture/design, Performance art, Written/spoken word/interpretation, Photography, video, moving image, Inter-disciplinary

MEDIA:  I-Park now views environmental art as a multi-disciplinary field and also encourages inter-disciplinary collaborations. The artistic engagement of the site for this program can involve site-responsive aesthetic interventions, the creation of new outdoor spaces and environments, conceptual investigations and projects that re-imagine our relationship to nature.

DEADLINE:  The application deadline for the program is February 28, 2011.

AWARDS:  $2,000 per participant to cover artist’s fee and material costs. Limited transportation cost reimbursement is provided.  Lodging & meals provided during the residency.

ARTIST RESIDENCY
OPPORTUNITY:

Roswell, New Mexico

Well known by artists as the “Gift of Time”, the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program was established in 1967 to provide gifted studio based visual artists with the unique opportunity to concentrate on their work in a supportive, collegial environment for a whole year. This “gift of time” allows artists to work without distraction in an effort to break new ground and focus on individual goals. 

Learn more about the Roswell Artist Residency Program online!The Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program serves as a contemporary counterpoint to the traditional arts of the Southwest, reinforces the Program’s interest in strengthening the vitality of art in New Mexico and has been a catalyst in broadening community understanding of contemporary art. 

CURRENT DEADLINE: December 1, 2010 

MEDIA: In-residence grants are offered to artists involved in painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, photography, installation and other fine art media. Grants are not made in the disciplines of performance art or production crafts.

The printmaking facility is a small, fully operational studio – basically lithographic/etching in nature. 

Artists are housed in a complex of six houses and 10 studios located on forty acres of land. Each artist is provided with a house that can amply accommodate either a single person or a family. Rent, utilities (except telephone), repairs and maintenance costs are borne by the Program. Houses are furnished with major furniture items, appliances and utensils. (continued below)
