Call for Second Street Gallery Artist Residency- Feb/March 2019
Type: Residencies, Workshops, Exchanges [View all]
Posted by: Second Street Gallery, Charlottesville, VA
Deadline: Mon, October 1st, 2018
Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville, VA is currently accepting submissions for our artist-in-residence exhibition.
http://www.secondstreetgallery.org/index.php/exhibitions/apply
The chosen artist will set up a working studio in the Dové Gallery where they will work and exhibit throughout the months of February – March, 2019. Visitors will be given the unique opportunity to experience the artist’s process firsthand and watch as new works of art are created and hung on the gallery walls.
The “studio” is not private and is part of a non-profit gallery. Gallery visitors can observe the art making process, chat with the artist about their work, and see finished work displayed in the gallery. This is a non-live in residency opportunity.
We ask that during the residency artists to take an active and public role in the organization, including being present at First Fridays events, which serve as an "open studio" for artists to share their work with the community. We require that artists spend a minimum of 15-20 hours a week in the studio and that they lead one small event (a workshop, artist talk, drawing session, etc.) during their residency.
Preference is given to applicants with specific project goals for the two month residency period.
Applications should take into consideration both the possibilities and the limitations of the Dové Gallery at SSG. During the residency, the gallery will be open to the public and the gallery staff will carry out their regular day-to-day activities in the gallery space. Therefore, your plans should take into account the nature of a shared workspace.
Familiarize yourself with our space, using the floorplan, images of the space, and images of past exhibitions. We encourage you to pay us a visit in person.
The Dove Gallery is 360 SF with a 10’2” ceiling.
