Grants/Residencies/etc...

Hey all, so, I tried to find a lot of different things and keep it as clear as possible, but I may have gone overboard. Anyway, I hope some of this stuff is useful!!! 

Ashkal Alwan, Lebanon

Home Workspace Program:  http://www.ashkalalwan.org/hwp.aspx

“The HWP is an annual, interdisciplinary arts program launched by Ashkal Alwan in 2011. The program targets emerging artists who wish to develop their formal, historical, and critical skills and practice in a supportive environment in Beirut.

Each edition or class of the HWP runs for 10 months, led by a different Resident Professor (RP) (or Resident Professors (RPs) as is the case in 2013-14) each year and admitting 10-15 participants. Part academic, part practice-based, the curriculum consists of lectures, workshops and seminars by the RP(s) and other leading local and international artists, writers, thinkers, filmmakers, curators, etc. Participants work on collective projects, as well as develop their own in coordination with the RP(s), visiting professors, and assigned mentors.

In addition to the curriculum, participants also benefit from a support-network of individuals, professionals, venues and resources around Beirut and elsewhere in Lebanon.

Participants are expected to reside in Beirut for 10 months with limited outside engagements, to participate actively in the various activities initiated by the RP(s) and visiting guests, and to develop and produce a project. 

Fabric Workshop Museum, Philladelphia, PA: http://www.fabricworkshopandmuseum.org/Education/College.aspx

“Students from Philadelphia and from other U.S. or international locations are invited to apply to the College and Post-Graduate Apprentice Training Program. A full-time and part-time program exists for these apprentices to advance their own art training while also participating in the daily operations of the studio. 

Students design and print a one-color and a three-color repeat yardage, and assist with projects in the studio, archives, and administrative departments. Students also have the opportunity to give a short lecture on their own work, visit area cultural organizations, and work with visiting artists-in-residence. 

FWM actively recruits a diverse pool of candidates, with a special emphasis on international students. Recent apprentices have come to FWM from nearly every state in the U.S., as well as from Japan, Ghana, South Korea, Germany, Finland, Kenya, Great Britain, France, India, and China.”

Tokyo Wonder Site, Tokyo, Japan: http://www.tokyo-ws.org/english/aboutus/index.html

Emerging Artist Support Program: http://www.tokyo-ws.org/english/aboutus/easp.html

“The program for artists, a support program for aspiring planners (curators) was implemented in 2006, inviting young exhibition organizers to apply with concrete plans for art shows.In the previous two rounds we received next to entries from planners (curators) also numerous exhibition proposals from artists planning exhibitions with their own participation. Many of those artists' self-produced exhibition outlines were based on innovative ideas for types of art beyond existing genres.”

Exchange Residency Programs: http://www.tokyo-ws.org/english/aoyama/nikokukan.html

“Emerging artists selected from an open applications by Tokyo Wonder Site are sent to live and work in art spaces and cultural institutions overseas that cooperated, while artists from international counterparts are reciprocally invited to spend time at TWS Aoyama:Creator-in-Residence. Artists are sent to various cities, where they engage with local artists and do creative work. Emerging artists from around the world meanwhile also be invited in TWS Aoyama:Creator-in-Residence and unfold Tokyo based creation and talk-exchanges.”

Vermont Studio Center: http://www.vermontstudiocenter.org/

“Founded by artists in 1984, the Vermont Studio Center is the largest international artists' and writers' Residency Program in the United States, hosting 50 visual artists and writers each month from across the country and around the world.

The Studio Center provides 4-12 week studio residencies on an historic 30-building campus along the Gihon River in Johnson, Vermont, a village in the heart of the northern Green Mountains.”

Chautauqua Art Institute, NY, USA http://www.ciweb.org/school-of-art/

“Artists need other serious artists if they are going to exceed their individual possibilities. For almost every artist, conviction without meaningful dialogue has critical limitations. That genuine exchange among serious artists is precisely what I have aimed for in developing the Chautauqua School of Art over the past 27 summers. Everything about the structure of the program—the faculty invited to participate, the students selected, even the layout of the studios—is geared toward that end.

The School of Art offers serious young artists a chance to give themselves over to a sustained period of exploration. The emphasis is on a period of study in depth with a limited number of selected instructors and a close-knit group of students. Repeatedly students have commented that one thing they realize during the summer is that it takes several weeks of intense involvement for the work, the ideas and the experience to ferment, and by the second half of the summer things really begin to come together. For this reason, the program does not compromise the length of the session, nor does it permit part-time study.”

Cite Internationale des Arts , Paris, France: http://citedesarts.pagesperso-orange.fr/cite-internationale-des-arts-english-presentation.html

“CiteInternationale des Arts is intended to provide short or long stays (2 months to 1 year) for professional artists who want to develop an artistic work in France.The Cité Internationale des Arts is a foundation directed to the public benefit since 1957.

It is related to a vast network of partners and associates. Its founders include a large number of States, schools, institutes, universities and ministries from close to 50 countries all across the world. Three of its historic founders and key partners are the City of Paris, the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The facilities of the Cité are divided between two locations in Paris :

The site located at 18 rue de l’Hôtel de Ville includes 270 individual workshops in the heart of the Marais district, a dynamic quarter swarming with art galleries and a favorite destination for Parisians.
Residents may practice their artistic discipline and develop their creative techniques for the duration of their stay at the Cité Internationale des Arts. The residence also houses an exhibition area where artists can display their works and an auditorium where they can perform concerts”

Instituto Sacatar, Brazil: http://www.sacatar.org/

“The Instituto Sacatar provides unstructured time and space for creative individuals to develop new work.  Specifically, a Fellowship to Sacatar provides: 

·       Reimbursement for roundtrip airfare between the artist's closest international airport and Salvador, Bahia, Brazil

·       A private bedroom with attached bath

·       A separate studio

·        All meals (except on Saturday night, all day Sunday and holidays)

The Fellowships do not include a stipend.  Artists are responsible for incidental expenses and all working materials. Once on the island, artists are responsible for their local transportation, although we meet artists at the airport on the first day of the residency session to take them the first time to our island estate.

In addition, the program staff will assist artists who wish to show their work or share their skills while in Bahia, helping artists make the necessary local contacts to achieve these goals. While the purpose of a Sacatar Fellowship is to provide creative individuals the time and space to develop new work, many participants are eager to share what they produce during their residencies.  To this end and to the extent possible, we will arrange for theaters, exhibition spaces, classrooms, etc., both on the island and in Salvador, and we will help find collaborators, musicians, students, actors and other volunteers to realize project proposals.  Wages on the island are low and some artists also contract studio assistants at a daily wage.”

Edward F. Albee Foundation: http://www.albeefoundation.org/Welcome.html

“Mission

The Edward F. Albee Foundation exists to serve writers and visual artists from all walks of life, by providing time and space in which to work without disturbance.

Using only talent and need as the criteria for selection, the Foundation invites any and all artists to apply.

History and Setting

Founded in 1967 by Edward Albee, after proceeds from his play Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? proved abundant, the Foundation had maintained the William Flanagan Memorial Creative Persons Center (better known as "The Barn") in Montauk, on Long Island in New York, as a residence for writers and visual artists.

The Center is open from mid-May to mid-October and can accommodate comfortably up to five persons at a time. Residencies are for both 4 and 6 week periods of time. The standards for admission are, simply, talent and need.

Located approximately two miles from the center of Montauk and the Atlantic Ocean, "The Barn" rests in a secluded knoll which offers privacy and a peaceful atmosphere. The Foundation expects all those accepted for residence to work seriously and to conduct themselves in such a manner as to aid fellow residents in their endeavors. Writers are offered a room; visual artists are offered a room and studio space. Residents are responsible for their food, travel, and other expenses. The environment is simple and communal. Residents are expected to do their share in maintaining the condition of "The Barn" as well as its peaceful environment.”

Elsewhere, Greesboro, North Caronlina : http://www.goelsewhere.org/residencies/

“Elsewhere, a living museum set in a former thrift store in downtown Greensboro, NC, is now accepting applications for 2013 residencies. Elsewhere residencies invite artists, curators, scholars, makers, storytellers, archivists, and educators to contribute to and interpret Elsewhere’s concepts, collections, and communities utilizing the museum’s immense 58-year collection of second-hand surplus as resource and inspiration for site-specific projects.

Elsewhere’s three-story museum is an evolving environment of living installations, public studios, and material resources. Elsewhere offers an experimental context for investigating material culture, engaging process and practice, and developing new collaborative approaches. Elsewhere is an active participant in the vitalization of its emerging downtown neighborhood, and an exceptional place for rethinking things in everyday and extraordinary culture.

Individuals and collaborative teams working across media, fields, and disciplines are encouraged to apply. Residencies are for 2-6 week project periods. Creative retreats, internships, fellowships and curatorial fellowships are also available.”

Exploratorium, San Francisco http://www.exploratorium.edu/arts/artist-residence

“Since its inception in 1974, the Exploratorium’s Artist-in-Residence Program has grown to include hundreds of artists and performers. The museum works with individuals and artist groups who are drawn to collaboration, interested in interdisciplinary dialogue, and open to developing new working methods. Projects have taken countless forms, such as multimedia performances, theatrical productions, animated filmmaking, immersive installations, walking tours, and online projects. The program allows for artists to embed within the unique culture of the institution, affords access to a dynamic and diverse staff, and provides opportunities for cross-pollination with a broad public. While the museum allows room for variance, residencies typically unfold over two years and include both an exploratory and project development phase.”

Whitney Independent Study Program: http://whitney.org/Research/ISP

The Independent Study Program (ISP) consists of three interrelated parts: Studio Program, Curatorial Program, and Critical Studies Program. The ISP provides a setting within which students pursuing art practice, curatorial work, art historical scholarship, and critical writing engage in ongoing discussions and debates that examine the historical, social, and intellectual conditions of artistic production. The program encourages the theoretical and critical study of the practices, institutions, and discourses that constitute the field of culture.

Each year fifteen students are selected to participate in the Studio Program, four in the Curatorial Program, and six in the Critical Studies Program. Curatorial and critical studies students are designated as Helena Rubinstein Fellows in recognition of the substantial support provided to the program by the Helena Rubinstein Foundation. The program begins in early September and concludes at the end of the following May. Many of the participants are enrolled at universities and art schools and receive academic credit for their participation, while others have recently completed their formal studies.
