Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Full details here.

The North Carolina Pottery Center is currently accepting applications for residency positions of varying lengths, typically of three to six months duration. The duration may depend on what the artist wishes to accomplish, amount of available studio space at the center at any given time, and other factors. Candidates with BFA’s, MFA’s, or equivalent life experience, are invited to apply.

A recent grant from the Windgate Charitable Foundation has enabled the Pottery Center to reinstitute its Artist-in-Residence program.

Resident Artists

Resident artists will be selected from a pool of applicants from across the country and abroad. Residents will be chosen based on their goals (as expressed in their proposals), their previous and current work, and ensuring a diverse synergy that benefits both the resident artists (personally as well as professionally) and enhances the center’s educational programs and programming.

Residents will be provided with a stipend (generally $500 per month), free housing (if they choose to use it) and electricity, studio space, and up to 250 pounds of clay each month in exchange for assistance with studio upkeep, event support, workshops, and occasional teaching responsibilities.

Who can apply?

Candidates with BFA’s, MFA’s, or equivalent life experience, are invited to apply.

Visiting Artists

Professional visiting artists may also be invited to spend time at the center during residency periods to showcase their special skills and provide thoughtful insight and encourage residents to find ways to expand their own skillsets.

Where and what is the North Carolina Pottery Center?

Located in the central Piedmont town of Seagrove, NC, the North Carolina Pottery Center is the focal point of a bustling pottery community of about 80 nearby potteries.

The NC Pottery Center serves the wider community of North Carolina potters and pottery enthusiasts and promotes public awareness and appreciation of the history, heritage, and ever-changing tradition of pottery making in North Carolina through educational programs, public services, collection and preservation, and research and documentation.

residency opportunity: CHILKOOT TRAIL ARTIST RESIDENCY

by | Jan 10, 2019 | residency opportunity

Together, the Yukon Arts Centre, Parks Canada and the US National Park Service are providing an opportunity for established visual artists to pursue their work amidst history and nature on the Chilkoot Trail. Artists will hike the entire trail during a two week backpacking trip, spending one to three days at each campsite. Each artist will be required to provide and carry all of their backpacking gear, food and art supplies for the journey (though food caches are available, provided artists arrange delivery in time for May flights). Bringing a support person, friend or family, is highly recommended. That person will help share the load and enhance safety while travelling, camping and working in bear country. Each of the artists chosen will travel during separate two-week periods. Artists will receive up to $100 USD support from Skagway Arts Council in purchasing necessary art supplies and will receive a $3000 CAD honorarium from the Yukon Arts Centre. The residency will occur over a two-week period between late June and early August.

This residency is open to applicants of any nationality for the 2020 edition. Artists applying for the 2020 residency are required to apply before the deadline of February 1st, 2019.

Chilkoot Trail Artist Residency 2020 Application Form (English)

Le Centre des arts du Yukon, Parcs Canada et le Service des parcs nationaux des États-Unis donnent l’occasion à des artistes visuels établis de produire des œuvres artistiques en s’imprégnant de l’histoire et de la nature sur la piste Chilkoot. Les artistes parcourront toute la piste dans le cadre d’une excursion de deux semaines, et passeront de un à trois jours à chaque site de camping. Chaque artiste devra fournir et transporter tout l’équipement de randonnée, la nourriture et le matériel d’artiste dont il aura besoin (des caches de nourriture seront probablement disponibles dans la mesure où les artistes organisent la livraison à temps pour les vols de mai). Il est fortement recommandé d’être accompagné d’une personne (ami ou membre de la famille) qui l’aidera. Elle transportera une partie de la charge et la sécurité des artistes qui se déplaceront, camperont et travailleront au pays des ours s’en trouvera du fait même améliorée. Chacun des artistes choisis voyagera durant une période distincte de deux semaines. Les artistes recevront un soutien allant jusqu’à 100 $ du Conseil des arts de Skagway pour l’achat de matériel d’artiste, et recevront des honoraires de 3 000 $ canadiens du Centre des arts du Yukon.

L’édition de 2020 du programme d’artistes en résidence s’adresse aux artistes de toute nationalité. Les artistes désirant poser leur candidature pour l’édition de 2020 doivent le faire avant le 1er février 2019.
