Posted by: West Virginia University Libraries
Deadline: Sat, November 30th, 2024

WVU Libraries’ Art in the Libraries invites artists to apply for the West Virginia Feminist Activist Collection Artist in Residency (FAIR) program. FAIR is a unique opportunity to engage with the West Virginia & Regional History Center’s (WVRHC) West Virginia Feminist Activist Collection (FAC). This pilot residency supports creative projects that explore, engage with, and expand upon the FAC materials.   

Artists working in visual arts, performance, writing, curatorial practice, and more are encouraged to apply, with preference given to WVU alumni.  

Applications will receive strong consideration if they highlight underrepresented voices or untold stories. The residency will take place March 24-28, 2025, and includes a minimum of two days spent researching in the archives, culminating in a public presentation of the artist’s project. Funds for materials are provided, with honorariums awarded after the residency.  

Applications are now open and will close November 30, 2024. Please review the application process here. Selected applicants will be notified by December 30, 2024.
