Visitor Center Artist Camp Residency

Type: Residencies, Workshops, Exchanges [View all]
Posted by: Art Shape Mammoth
Deadline: Sat, June 1st, 2019

Visitor Center Artist Camp is an Artist Residency in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Explore creative practices influenced by the surrounding natural environment and focused on sustainability and self-sufficiency, while working and living communally in this beautiful wilderness environment.

Immerse yourself in our Local Clay Workshop to dig and process your own clay, and create ceramic work. Propose a project in Wood and learn from a life-long logger, timber-framer, and DIY master at his Sawmill. Or, propose an Independent Project that can be supported by our rugged setting, sustainable focus, and adventurous attitude.

The programming for VCAC is intended for both personal and collective growth. We will share our skills and ideas with each other though demos, presentations, and campfire discussions. Additional programing includes nature field trips to Lake Superior, waterfalls, and hiking trails, and educational field trips to see cheese-making, wood-turning, and saw-milling demos.

Camp Session is July 27th - August 9th, 2019, with an optional extended work session August 9 - 16.

The VCAC is a great opportunity for the creative growth of an advanced artist looking to step out of their normal routine or experiment with new materials and techniques, or for the emerging artist looking to learn new skills, make new connections, and find inspiration. Adults of all creative backgrounds, experience levels, and fields of practice are encouraged to apply. You must be at least 18 years of age.

Applications will be reviewed and confirmed in the order received, until all spaces are filled. We have space for a total of 12 artists for this year’s residency. Deadline for all applications is June 1st.
