Emerging Artist Residency Fellowship
The Harpo Foundation’s Emerging Artist Residency Fellowship at the Santa Fe Art Institute
(SFAI) was established in 2013 to provide an annual opportunity to an
emerging visual artist 25 years and older who needs time and space to
explore ideas and start new projects. Artist Fellows will receive a
one-month residency at the Santa Fe Art Institute, which includes a
private room and bath, a private studio space, and a $500 travel
stipend. Founded in 1985, the Santa Fe Art Institute (SFAI) provides a
unique opportunity for emerging artists to pursue creative projects
without interruption. SFAI supports over 50 residents per year and
offers a cohesive, arts-focused environment that creates the ideal
working conditions for resident artists. Living and studio space is
located within a nearly 17,000 square foot complex designed by renowned
Mexican architect, Ricardo Legoretta. The unique SFAI environment allows
residents to be as interactive or private as they wish. There are no
requirements on the work produced during their time at SFAI.
One Fellowship is awarded annually to emerging artists who demonstrate:
- Strong artistic ability and promise
- An evolving practice this is at a pivotal moment in its development
Application Process and Deadlines
The 2016 application deadline is Friday, October 1, 2016. Artists must apply online. To find out more about this opportunity, please contact Residency Program Manager Nina Elder at (505) 424-5050 or gro.iafs@redlen at the Santa Fe Art Institute.

Not only does Glynnis Lessing make lovely pots, she is also the most generous soul on her website sharing tons of her own techniques as well as tutorials and work of other artists. Sadly her blog hasn’t been updated in a few years but the quality of info there doesn’t get outdated.
You might need a bit of time and a coffee to get through all of this if you haven’t been to her site before! Enjoy : )

Juror’s Statement:
The teapot is one of the most recognizable and iconic
pottery forms throughout the world. It’s a form that has evolved
throughout history in many cultures, yet its function remains constant,
to deliver tea. Not many ceramic forms point at such a specific
ritual as the teapot does. The handle extends an offer to the user’s
hand, the lid invites the user to insert tea and hot water, and the
spout delivers the reward. It’s a magical object that mediates a
series of actions for a specific beverage.
There is probably no other pottery form that is as complex
as the teapot. What other form demands so much attention to so many
things? Form, design, function, ergonomics, pouring, scale, and history
are among many of the factors that one can address. It is also has the
most sculptural potential within the vernacular of pottery and
continues to be one of the most broadly interpreted forms in ceramics.
From strictly functional, to cube-shaped, to figurative, to organic,
the teapot has taken on so many variations. It has been one of the
most creatively interpreted forms in historical and contemporary
ceramics.
