Things to apply for... think about... etc.

The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation - Grant

"The Foundation provides financial assistance to artists who work in a representational style of painting, drawing, sculpting or printmaking, are in the early or developmental stage of their career, and demonstrate a commitment to making art a lifetime career."

This is a Canadian foundation that awards $15,000 to $18,000 (Canadian dollars) to an artist fitting the above description. One cool part about this award is that it can be used towards other programs (i.e.; paying for your MFA at RISD, or that studio space in Berkeley (see below), etc.).

KALA Art Institute - Residency in the Bay Area

I am interested in this place because they offer a lot of access to printmaking equipment (they do other things too, just no straight-up painting). They offer a number of "residencies" that are actually just low cost studio space. However there is also a fellowship which allows you 6 months of free access to their equipment, to complete a print project culminating in a show at their gallery. Also with the fellowship comes an undisclosed cash stipend.

The RISD MFA program 

RISD requires transcript submission, portfolio submission of 10 to 20 examples of your work (this varies depending on the specific program), statement of purpose (500-750 words), letters of recommendation (three of these).

AS220 Galleries - exhibition

A bunch of people in this class may have done this already, but I have never tried to show work at AS220. I am also trying to find juried shows to submit to, so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

I'm going to keep looking into some exhibition-type things too. I'll let you guys know what I find. I've found a couple cool residencies, but they require you to be more established as an artist I think. One in Vancouver, called Malaspina and one through the Golden Foundation (like Golden paint).

Potential Grants/Residencies

This is something we heard about during our time at Eyebeam.  This is definitely something I would look forward to applying to in the future (especially because the photographers' house apparently has a sauna): http://www.macdowellcolony.org/apply-appguidelines.html
Though they don't make it clear as to how one can actually apply, this looks promising: http://thebaumfoundation.org/highlights/baum-award-photography

These two don't require submission fees and are relatively easy to apply for:
http://forwardthinkingmuseum.com/contest/photography.php
http://imagery.gettyimages.com/getty_images_grants/overview.aspx (check under emerging talent award)

Post-Brown, this would be a great way to continue photo education: http://www.alexiafoundation.org/grants/student_rules

I've been looking a lot at ICP as a potential grad school.  If I end up there, this would be a great opportunity: http://www.icpftstudentops.blogspot.com/

SPACE is one of the largest arts organizations in the UK and has a lot of great offerings for residencies: http://www.spacestudios.org.uk/space

Finally, here's a residency in Mae Taeng, Chiang Mai in Thailand.  Although their facilities don't support the kind of work I'd like to do, it's nevertheless a cool opportunity to check out if you fit into what they're looking for: http://elixir-community.com/

I will be applying to the latter two as the first two are unavailable at this time.

Exhibition Opportunities

Except for the first one, I'm not sure how suitable these are for people still in school so I went for ones that specifically say 18+ or emerging or unrepresented artists.

Gallery 263- Art/Identity: http://www.collegeart.org/opportunities/listing/8660/

The exhibition explores the role of art in questions of diversity, personhood, and the human experience.

Emerge Art Fair: http://www.collegeart.org/opportunities/listing/8666/
Deadline: May 18
Washington DC
The (e)merge art fair connects emerging-art professionals from around the globe with collectors, curators and cultural decision makers in Washington, DC. Artists wishing to apply must be currently unrepresented by a gallery and may not have had SOLO exhibition at a major museum or Kunsthalle. Artists will be provided with exhibition space free of charge in public areas throughout the Capitol Skyline. All submissions will be reviewed by an international vetting committee. Whereas work in all media will be carefully considered, projects involving experimental works in non-traditional formats are especially encouraged. The 2013 fair will take place Oct 3-6 at the Capitol Skyline Hotel in Washington, DC.

What I'm thinking about...

Opportunities/goals!

http://theartstudentsleague.org/ResidencyVytlacilCampus.aspx -- very interested in this residency in Sparkill, NY. Just outside the city, one to two months, rolling admission

http://brown.edu/academics/creative-arts-council/grants/student-grant-program -- probably something most of you already know, going to apply next year.

http://us.fulbrightonline.org/application-tips/arts -- I'm thinking more and more about going to a classical atelier after Brown, hopefully with some kind of grant or scholarship. Fulbrights are sometimes given to fine arts majors, but of course I'll need to come up with an idea to make the study something more than just improving technically. Some sort of personal project that also engages with the community and works in the context of contemporary art, not just traditional. 

http://www.artrenewal.org/pages/ateliers.php -- a list of vetted programs. I am most interested in Italy http://ateliercanova.com/, http://www.angelartschool.com/, http://www.florenceacademyofart.com/, and http://www.charlescecilstudios.com/index.html, but London would work as well http://lavenderhillstudios.com/ and http://drawpaintsculpt.com/full-courses/first-year/. Unfortunately couldn't find one for Paris… but I don't mind learning Italian or sticking with English.

http://www.artrenewal.org/pages/scholarshipapplication.php -- another scholarship to apply for in the case that I try for the atelier.

And I'll be applying to honors as well! Also, some possible MFA programs I'm thinking about include Penn State, RISD, Yale, UCLA

My Next Moves App Choices

1. Brooklyn Museum Education Internship Program (http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/education/adults/intern-educators.php) Specifically the 'School and Youth and Family' branch (http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/about/careers/career_description.php?id=280)

It's a 10-month program where you design and teach programs to kids and families who visit the museum  itself but also attend professional development workshops. I know several people who've done this. I think Eleanor Whitney did this, actually.

2. School of Visual Arts MFA in Illustration as Visual Essay (http://www.sva.edu/graduate/mfa-illustration-as-visual-essay) (http://www.sva.edu/attend-sva/graduate/department-requirements)

So many great people have come through this illustration grad program, or currently teach there.

3. The Center for Cartoon Studies MFA (http://www.teachingcomics.org/) (view admissions sections)

Two-year MFA program for people who want to make comics!

4. NYU Masters in Visual Arts Administration (http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/art/admin/) (http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/art/admin/apply)

The former executive director at the teen studio I work at also went to this program, but I've generally heard great stuff about it around. The option to be a part time student also appeals to me.

5. MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art) MFA in Community Arts (http://www.mica.edu/Programs_of_Study/Graduate_Programs/Community_Arts_(MFA).html)

Classes are half studio, half organizing-activism-awesomeness. "The MFA in Community Arts (MFACA) prepares artists to use their artmaking as a means of civic, youth, and community development, or to teach at the post-secondary level. The curriculum gives students a grounding in theory and practice, while real-world experience integrates independent artmaking with community-based projects. Students discover firsthand how artists and their work help communities articulate their own  history, culture, and needs--and how that community in turn inspires the artists' own creative expression."

6. MICA Post-baccalaureate Certificate in Fine Art (http://www.mica.edu/Programs_of_Study/Post-Baccalaureate_Certificate_in_Fine_Art.html) (http://www.mica.edu/Admission_and_Financial_Aid/Graduate_Admission_and_Financial_Aid/Admission_Procedures_and_Deadlines_for_All_Applicants.html)

Because I don't have a regular practice, I may need time to build towards full time art maker status. It's just one year, which is such a tiny committment relative to the rest of my working life. It might also give me the portfolio to apply to a more intense program like the NYU MFA in Illustration.

7. Penland School of Crafts Artist Residencies (http://penland.org/programs/resident_artists.html)

8. AS220 Show or artist-in-residence??

9. SCAC Grant

10. Brooklyn Zine Fest 

11. Hillel Gallery Solo Show??

Diane Zhou- 5 residencies/grants

1) Tokyo Wonder Site Aoyama Creator-in-Residence: http://en.air-j.info/result/center_13113_02
     Pretty open to almost anyone for any type of work, takes about 100 artists per year

2) Tenement Museum (NYC) Digital Artists in Residence Program: http://www.tenement.org/darp.html
     I'm not sure if this is a real residence or just one in name, but they sponsor interactive websites that deal with the immigrant experience which is pretty cool. There's not much information on there.

3) Harvestworks Residency (NYC): http://www.harvestworks.org/new-works-residency/
     "The Harvestworks New Works is a national program that offers American artists (US-residents) commissions of up to $5000 to make a new work in our Technology, Engineering, Art and Music (TEAM) lab. Each artist receives up to a $2000 artist fee with the balance of the award used for the TEAM lab activities. The artist works with a team comprised of Harvestworks’ Project Manager and consultants, technicians or instructors."

4) Eyebeam Residencies/Fellowships (NYC): http://eyebeam.org/creative-residencies-faq
    Residencies: $5000 in three installments, project-based
    Fellowship: $30,000 over 11 months, supports overall practice
   "The 5 month residency is a period of concentration and immersion in artistic investigation, daring research or production of visionary, experimental applications and projects."

5) Djerassi Resident Artsits Program (Santa Barbara CA): http://www.artistcommunities.org/residencies/djerassi-resident-artists-program
    Supports people who do visual arts and media arts (and a bunch of other types).
    1 month long, gives you a place to live. Seems really open


I'm not sure if all of these are open to students though. I chose them because they didn't say "Students not eligible" but I think they might have that stipulation there by default and just not stated it.

Websites + Cargo Collective

Here are some of my links from last week -- I mention the parts I like about the websites next to the links.

http://www.zhaomingwu.com/ -- simpleview is a great tool imho

http://www.pascalpolar.be/site/artisteview.php?nom_de_tri=Ricard%20Aymar -- like the pop-up idea for viewing pieces individually; allows viewer to make a specific selection of work they appreciate.

http://cargocollective.com/francisvallejo/FIGURE -- clean, sleek aesthetic; something very nice about just scrolling down through artworks

http://jacobvanloon.com/ -- again, clean aesthetic; nice that the "next" button doesn't jump around the way it does on a lot of artists websites; can easily keep clicking and viewing continuously without annoying misclicks

http://cargocollective.com/ -- community-oriented, get templates for work, have to apply (though Kah can send some invitations)
