ARTIST RESIDENCY: Roswell, New Mexico

Posted on October 21, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

LIKE EGGS…
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.

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.

For more information about the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program, contact: Stephen Fleming, RAIR Program Director by phone: (575)622 6037 or e-mail them at: stephen@rair.org .

CALL for ENTRIES: Representational Art

Posted on October 12, 2010October 12, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

POACHED FOR ME, PLEASE!

Sometimes an egg is just an egg. Yes, I love them benedict. I love them scrambled, in caesar salad and as omelettes stuffed with goat cheese and peppers. But sometimes an egg is great just as an egg. The same is true of art. While much of this site’s attention is directed at non-respresentational and contemporary art and photography, there is such a vast American tradition of representational work that I would be remiss not to celebrate that talent and potential in my readers as well. Rachel Parker is one of my favorites.

CALL for ENTRIES: 2011 Annual Juried Show

Posted on October 4, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

CAKE FOR EVERYONE

Aside from food, there are a few themes that run through my blog posts. Entering academic shows can be a huge plus for all artists…but I find that emerging artists, regardless of age, really benefit most. If you get juried in to an academic exhibition, make every effort to attend the opening. You’d be amazed by how much you can learn by being a fly on the wall when no one knows you’re there. And remember, sometimes you can have your cake and eat it too…academic settings are great for art sales.

Check out this great Call for Entries for Chowan University‘s National Juried Exhibit for 2011. The entry fee is a little higher than I would like, but the juror is great and the opening is in January when many commercial galleries are on a bit of a hiatus. Take a look…

SUSHI SUSHI SUSHI

I often post international artist residency opportunities and get lots of email in return that basically says, “I wish.” And, believe me, I understand the frustration of needing the inspiration and time and space of a residency, but not being able to afford the luxury of a month in Spain or Chile. Well, what if I told you that you could get the full foreign tour AFTER you do the work? Stop and smell the sushi, folks.

Check out this International Art Competition and Exhibition from Sakuraba Gallery in Japan.
