New Canadian artist residency at MAWA, Winnipeg New! Artist Residency At MAWA Two deadlines: April 29, 2011 (for residencies in 2011) and October 28, 2011 (for residencies in 2012) MAWA is offering our urban, loft-style apartment to women visual artists for residencies of 2-4 weeks in duration. Applicants can use this space and time for research, reflection, networking and/or production. We will provide free accommodation and a $300 honorarium. The MAWA apartment is fully furnished and includes a kitchen, a bathroom with shower, a double bed, a double futon/couch, and a designated parking space. All linens and cooking utensils are provided. The apartment is located on the second floor of 611 Main Street in downtown Winnipeg. Sadly, it is a walk-up and is not wheelchair accessible. [email protected]
MAWA’s apartment is a clean space that is not conducive for painting and many forms of sculpture. However, we will work with you and other Winnipeg art centres to help you gain access to the facilities and resources you need. These could include a rough studio, printmaking, video and darkroom facilities, or introductions to likeminded artists and curators.
While at MAWA, we ask that you present your work to our members in a form of your choice (screening, talk, performance, showcase of work-in-progress, etc.). Artists at all stages of their careers are encouraged to apply. Equal consideration will be given to emerging and established artists. Rural Manitoba artists are especially encouraged. Imagine an urban retreat!
Applications must be received by April 29 and October 28 at 4 pm, and should include:
-a cover letter saying why you would like time in the MAWA apartment (goals, rationale)
-a detailed description of what you will need while you are here (access to other facilities or equipment requested)
-first choice of preferred dates; second choice of preferred dates (including start and end dates)
-an artist’s c.v.
-up to 20 images on CD or two videos on DVD
-a stamped, self-addressed envelope for the return of your materials
In conceiving of this residency program, MAWA hopes to increase dialogue between our geographical community-Winnipeg-and the art world beyond; to create networking opportunities for women artists; and to provide an oasis in which women artists can do whatever they need to do in order to move their practices forward.
Please send applications to:
Residency Program,
MAWA, 611 Main St.,

The NC Pottery Center Board and the auction committee would like to request a donation of your work for the 2011 annual fundraising auction. Your support is very important to help sustain the NCPC, which pays tribute to potters across our State. The NC Pottery Center works to promote North Carolina potters and to keep the public aware of the living traditions that continue in North Carolina. The NC Pottery Center’s mission is to not only represent the past, but to also let the public know about the ongoing tradition. Auction donations must be in hand by May 2nd, 2011 in order to be photographed and listed online. An inventory sheet to be delivered with your work is also enclosed. If you have questions or need assistance you may call Nicole at 336-873-8430 or e-mail at [email protected]. In the Fall of 2010 we initiated a capital campaign to help sustain the Center. We have also started conversation with East Carolina University to form a potential educational partnership, and are seeking funding for a Director and monthly expenses. As with all non-profits fundraising continues to be challenging but your donations and support will allow us to implement exciting possibilities and ensure continued success and viability of the North Carolina Pottery Center. We hope you will stand with us to keep this wonderful tribute to clay viable and ongoing by supporting our annual auction. Sincerely
Susan Greene Pam Owens
