emerging artist: Caleb Zouhary
inspiration for my work comes from food presentation. People go to great lengths to present their
meals in an eloquent manner, and my work serves to aid in their presentation
through the form, function, and surface treatment of my wares. I reference specific
foods when creating my functional vessels, and I work to create a form that
will compliment that meal to its fullest potential. My ceramic vessels are based on traditional
forms, but as the designer, I am able to alter them in ways I think will enhance
their functionality. I further the idea
of presentation in my work by finishing the pieces with colors and patterns
that will compliment the food being served with them.”
residency opportunity: Caldera Arts Center
Every winter we invite artists from all over the world to our Caldera Arts Center near Sisters, Oregon.
Artists are provided private A-frame
cabins and share access to wet and dry studios, a darkroom, a kiln,
editing facilities and rehearsal and performance space.
Because we believe a range of
backgrounds enhances the communal experience, residencies are open to
artists from any field, as well as scientists, engineers and
environmentalists.
DETAILS
Caldera’s Artists in
Residence program offers the gift of time and space. Residents are given
a cabin, 24-hour access to studios and the time and space to
create.Residents are responsible for food, travel, materials and other
expenses.By design, the residents form a small community of 5–12
artists, depending on the group. A weekly meal is shared and
collaboration is encouraged.
Artists aren’t required to finish a
project during their residency, but share their work with the local area
community in Open Studios events at the end of each month. Artists are
also encouraged to do outreach projects with Caldera youth and in
neighboring schools in the Sisters area.
Occasionally, calls for applications
for teaching residencies are announced at Caldera. If you would like to
be notified of these opportunities, please email AiR Manager, Elizabeth Quinn.
CALENDAR
Residencies last one month, and take place in January, February
and March.
The due date for applications is June 15.
Panels meet in late summer to review the applications, and
invitations are made in early September.

From the Curator:
“Residency programs provide a unique transformative experience, usually
outside of an academic setting, often at pivotal times in an artist’s
career. At their best, these programs support artists with the gift of
time and an atmosphere that encourages experimentation, professional and
personal growth, and lots of questions and sometimes only a few
answers. Residencies also play an important role in providing a
community of peers for a period of time while continuing to expand the
circle of artists, educators, mentors, and collectors outside of that
community. In the end, residencies are as much about discovering who we
are as artists and people as they are about what we make.
Emerged: After the Residency is especially personal and
important to me having experienced the “emergence” of over 100 early
career artists through my work as residency program director at
Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts since 1992. In order to be
considered for this exhibition, ceramic artists must have completed a
residency program within the past 3 years. I reviewed the artwork of
many artists, some of the work I saw in person and some of the work
through only images in websites or publications. In making my final
selections for Emerged, I chose artists whose work engaged me
aesthetically, awed me technically and maintained my curiosity without
having to read the titles or artist’s statements.”
