Dickinson College, an internationally recognized liberal arts college in Carlisle, PA, seeks applicants for our Spring 2019 Artist-in-Residence Program. This program at Dickinson has been made possible through the generous support of Sylvia J. Smith ’73, and will bring an artist to campus for a 6-week period in the Spring 2019 semester to develop a body of work and interact closely with students as a mentor, offering critique, demonstrations, and giving lectures on their work and related topics. The culmination of the residency will be an exhibition of works in the Department of Art & Art History’s Goodyear Gallery. A studio workspace will be provided along with housing and a generous stipend for materials and living costs.

Artists who concentrate on painting, and/or drawing or printmaking are encouraged to apply, and we encourage connections between mediums. The studio program at Dickinson includes sculpture, (wood, metal, and casting processes), painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, darkroom and digital photography, and still and time-based digital processes. We are especially interested in artists engaged in dynamic studio processes who can serve as strong role models for students.

Applicants should have their MFA as of August 2018. Please submit a CV, link to your work, and a letter of intent to: dcartistinresidence@gmail.com. Submissions are due by November 15th, 2018.  Decision will be made by December 15th, 2018.
