Posted by: Palm Beach State College
Deadline: Sun, September 1st, 2024

The HMS Visiting Artists Fellowship is a new initiative at Palm Beach State College made possible by a generous grant from the Helen M Salzberg family. The fellowship aims to provide support for contemporary visual artists in Palm Beach County and works collaboratively with the Studio Art Program at Palm Beach State College.

The HMS Visiting Artists Fellowship will provide an endowment of $6,000 to one selected artist per year and facilitate exhibition and mentoring opportunities for this Visiting Artist. Selected artists will be responsible for fulfilling the following obligations:

·       Selected artists must make a lecture presentation/workshop for a student group and solo exhibition at the HMS Fine Art Gallery. Additional funds of $1,000 for the facilitation of the presentation and transportation costs for the gallery exhibition will be provided.

·       Selected artists will be expected to make themselves available for mentorship opportunities on or off campus with the Koo Family Art Collaborative Mentorship recipients totaling 20-30 hours.

·       Selected artists must write a year-end fellowship summary of their activities for presentation to the HMS Visiting Artists Fellowship Committee.

·       Selected artists will agree to participate in a group or solo exhibition at the HMS Fine Art Gallery.

Criteria for Selection

Artists in any media or level of professional accomplishment should apply, but most importantly the artist should be able to complete the required duties of the fellowship as listed above and emphasis will be placed on their ability to provide mentorship opportunities for Palm Beach State College students. The selection committee is looking to provide students with direct, on-site professional experience and engagement and applicants with active studio and professional practices are preferred. Additionally, ability to facilitate a workshop or lecture for on campus student engagement will be similarly considered as a high priority.

 Eligibility

 Any living artist legally residing in Florida is eligible to submit an application. Individuals with conflicts of interest are not eligible for award under this offering.

Submission Requirements

Applications will be evaluated based on the information submitted below. Please read the following submittal requirements carefully.

1. Images of Artwork with Annotated Image List

Submit up to 10 images/videos of recent artwork completed within the last 5 years. Artists may submit a combination of images and videos, but no more than 10 artworks will be considered.

If the video file is too large for email- a direct link to the file on a cloud or video streaming platform (not a general link to artists website) would be allowed. The total combined running time of all submitted videos may not exceed five minutes. Provide an annotated list of available artworks in .pdf format (this must be a separate file from examples submitted) specifying the title, year, medium, dimensions, weight, edition (if applicable), and a brief description of the concept behind each artwork.
