Two opportunities at Lillstreet Art Centre in Chicago

First up: A Residency Opportunity

Lillstreet’s resident artist program was established to benefit the Lillstreet student community, as well as the Artist-in-Residence. The residents in each of our departments dedicate time to work with students outside of classes in order to enrich Lillstreet students’ experience by seeing and learning from a working artist in their midst.

The Artist-in-Residence Program also serves as a resource for our teachers by asking the Artist-in-Residence to assist from time to time with classes and demonstrations. This program is meant to help bolster the vitality of the student community and create relationships with the students. The main focus of this residency is for the artist to be an encouragement and resource for the Lillstreet student community as well as provide an opportunity for artists to develop their work.

Reminder – Medalta deadline this weekend

“Our deadline to receive applications for our summer and long-term residencies is April 15th.

We are expecting a lot of applications this year, and word is they are coming from several different continents, but the good news is that there are now more opportunities as well. We are offering three one-month residencies this summer, in June, July and August.

One month may not seem like much time to get stuff done, but the energy level in the studio is extremely high and resident artists balance all of their hard work with potlucks, field trips, impromptu collaborations, and maybe even a cold beverage on occasion. Our eight year-long artists will show you the ropes as they prepare for their final exhibitions this summer.

In addition to our short-term residencies we are also taking applications for 6 full-year residents. Imagine, a full year in our studios to pursue your studio practice!

All of this takes place among the beehive kilns, a restored 1912 stoneware factory, a museum, decommissioned factories, and a brand new 12,000 sq. ft. ceramic studio.

And all this takes place in Canada!

Sounds good Eh?!

Here’s all our Application Info. See you soon!”
