Residency Time Frame: Sept 2018-May 2019
Deadline: June 15, 2018
Application Fee: None
What We Provide: Studio Space, Housing, Common Materials and Stipend
The New Harmony Clay Project Residency Program fosters an environment that supports the investigation of new ideas and work of ceramic artists. Our goal is to encourage emerging and professional visual artists/educators in ceramics by giving them space and the time to develop a new body of work. The program offers a unique and stimulating experience that will challenge individuals to integrate new discoveries into their expressions.
The program is offered from September-April of each year. Residents have the opportunity to select a flexible residency time frame that accommodates their schedules-from one up to six month periods. We provide studio space for up to four artists at a time and reasonable materials commonly used when working with clay. We also help offset costs incurred by the artist(s) with a monthly stipend and provide housing with a private room and shared bathroom for the duration of the residency period. The current deadline is June 15, 2018 for the 2018-2019 Residency Season, so apply today! https://nhclayproject.org/about-the-residency-1/
