IN THE HOURGLASS

The thought of a little more time with family at breakfast or dinner is a dream in my household. For now we are grouchy, non-speaking, egg-gulping, panic-stricken and running late during weekday mornings, but weekends are full of blue-berry pancakes and eggs benedict. 

Are you looking for the gift of time? Check out the 12-month residency opportunity in Roswell, New Mexico that offers space, time, and even a stipend! Don’t miss it… 

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. 

HOUSING & STUDIO FACILITIES: The studios are large, open spaces that measure approximately 20’x25’x10′. These areas are well-lighted and convertible to the artist’s requirements within reason. 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)

STIPEND:  A stipend, or living allowance, of $800 per month is offered along with $100 per month for every dependent living with the grantee. Currently, the cost of art materials is borne by the grantee.

MONEY FOR DESSERT
