SYLVIA J. SMITH '73 ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM FALL 2019

Type: Residencies, Workshops, Exchanges [View all]
Posted by: Dickinson Colllege
Deadline: Thu, August 1st, 2019

Dickinson College, an internationally recognized liberal arts college in Carlisle, PA, seeks applicants for our 2019-2020 Artist-in-Residence Program. This program was founded in 2009 through the generous support of Sylvia J. Smith ’73, and will bring an artist to campus for a 6-8 week period in the Fall 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.

This year’s residency is open to artists that work primarily with ceramic processes. All approaches to the medium ranging from formal to conceptual will be considered. We are especially interested in artists that utilize progressive approaches and whose practices push beyond expected conventions of the medium. This might even include the use of ceramic processes, or works, in conjuntion with other mediums. The ceramics studio is equipped with electric & kick wheels, slab roller, extruders, clay mixer, pugger, full glaze lab, spray booth, gas & electric kilns, as well as slip-casting processes. Additionally, the studio program at Dickinson includes sculpture, (wood, metal, and casting processes), painting, drawing, printmaking, 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 2019. Please submit a CV, link to your work, and a letter of intent to: dcartistinresidence@gmail.com. Submissions are due by August 1st, 2019. Decision will be made by August 14th, 2019.
