by | Sep 21, 2015 | call for entry, emerging artist, job posting, monday morning eye candy, movie day, residency opportunity, technical tuesday

Our Artist in Residence program benefits the artist, the Center, and the local community!

We
believe that our connection to the community is strengthened by
supplying a venue for talented artists to integrate with, and become
members of the Sonoma community. For six months our Artist in Residence
provides community members and visitors with a fresh perspective on the
Sonoma Valley.

One Artist in Residence will be chosen to spend
six months living and working at the Sonoma Community Center. During
this time, the Artist in Residence is able to concentrate on developing a
cohesive body of work that is representative of their time here. While
at Sonoma Community Center, the Artist in Residence is given employment
opportunities to teach classes and workshops to community members. 

Open
to all artists living within the US, the residency provides a
self-directed emerging or established artist a supportive environment to
explore artwork and ideas. The opportunity is designed for artists
dedicated to developing a body of work with a specific purpose of end
goal, culminating in a gallery exhibition at the completion of the
residency.

WORK TRADE: 
As resident
artists are given a number of opportunities, they are expected, in turn,
to provide up to 15 hours a week in work trade. Work trade
responsibilities can include, but are not limited to: studio clean-up

residency opportunity: Fieldwork @ Eyelevel gallery

by | Jul 8, 2015 | call for entry, emerging artist, job posting, monday morning eye candy, movie day, residency opportunity, show us your influences, technical tuesday

Eyelevel Gallery invites proposals from visiting artists, for our new residency program, Fieldwork, to take place from August to November 2015. 


Deadline: 7 August 2015
 
Fieldwork
is a platform for artists to conduct and present research as it relates
to their practice in a setting outside of an exhibitionary complex.
The nature of this residency allows for a variety of publics to engage
with all parts of the artistic process and lays the groundwork for the
artist/s to engage with individuals outside of their discipline. There
is much opportunity
for collaboration with other institutions, particularly drawing on a
non-art audience through partnerships. Artistic results from the
residencies may come in the form of performances, screenings,
workshops, roundtables, texts, and more. Our intention is to support the
artist in presenting their work as a process, rather than a final
product.

Though
this is research driven, artists are encouraged to give a presentation
during the course of their residency. This may take any shape or form
the resident deems most suited to their research, in consultation with
Eyelevel Gallery. Please suggest presentation strategies in your
proposal—traditional artist’s talk, workshop, podcast, walking tour,
community roundtable, blog or zine, etc.
1-2
artists will be selected for residencies between 4 and 8 weeks
duration. Start date is as early as the beginning of August and end date
as late as the end of November. Eyelevel will provide administrative
support in the form of budget management, and publicity. Workspace may
be arranged depending on the project. This project hinges on the
artist’s research taking place outside of a traditional artist-run
centre gallery context.
Artist will receive | artist recevra:
  • Artist’s fee | frais d’artist $3000
  • Presentation fee| frais de présentation $281
  • Material assistance up to | assistance
