Fantasizing about an artist residency? It’s unlikely that vision includes a cargo ship. The enormous container carriers supply 90% of everything — from the food you eat to the clothes you buy — but they aren’t exactly, well, dreamboats.
Israeli photographer Maayan Strauss sees potential, though. She is launching Container,
an artist residency that will invite 12 creatives to travel along
existing shipping routes for a month. “Artists require solitude, beauty,
the natural sublime and global travel,” the website explains. “They
crave extended stretches of time, free of any interruption, in order to
create new work. All of this can be found on a container ship.” While
aboard, each will create his or her own body of work, which will be
shown later in a group exhibition.
“The program is also a part of my artistic practice,” Strauss told
Hyperallergic. “It’s a different type of artistic fulfillment from
making photographs or objects — creating something that is not
representational, rather a new situation and exchange in the world.”

The Tulsa Artist Fellowship will cultivate Tulsa’s art scene by both supporting local artists and attracting national artists. The Tulsa Artist Fellowship provides an unrestricted stipend, free housing and work-space in Tulsa, Oklahoma to US Resident artists. Given the unique cultural and historical landscape of Tulsa, some fellowship spots will be reserved for Alaska Native, Native American, and Native Hawaiian artists. The Fellows are expected to integrate into the local arts community such as studio and collection visits. These and other activities will introduce the artists to the many treasures at Gilcrease Museum, Philbrook Museum of Art and beyond. The artists will live and work in Tulsa’s Brady Arts District, participating in the local arts community. Fellowships are merit-based, not project grants, with a one-year term with the option to renew for a second year. In the first class, the fellowship will focus on Public and/or Gallery Oriented Visual Arts.
The Tulsa Artist Fellowship provides unrestricted awards between
$15,000 and $40,000 for artists in all stages of their career. In
addition, the TAF will provide free housing and work-space in Tulsa,
Oklahoma. All non-resident fellows will be required to live in the
provided housing.

fellowship seeks to obtain a diverse mix of local and national artists
at different stages in their career. There will be reserved fellowship

The fellowship will include free housing and work space. Local Tulsa
artists in the mid-career category are not guaranteed free housing.
