Immerse yourself in the centuries of art & culture of Rome at c.r.e.t.a. rome!!

The non-profit organization  ‘c.r.e.t.a. rome’ is offering an international self-funded residency program in Rome, Italy. The Italian word for clay seemed perfect to express our commitment to creating an international reference point for ceramics and the arts in the eternal city of Rome. Moreover, taken
as an acronym, it spells out our main activities: ceramics,
residencies, exhibitions, teaching and the arts.  We are located in the
mid 16th-century Palazzo Delfini in the historical center of Rome, just
blocks from the Capitoline Hill on one side and the Pantheon on the
other.
We offer artist residencies for ceramic artists, visual artists and
writers for periods of 5 or 10 weeks. For Summer 2016, the residency
periods are:

  • 27 May- 30 June       
  • 2 July-31 July

The
residency fee covers a semi-private equipped studio, shared housing
(private room) in the historical center of Rome, and technical
assistance in procuring materials, firings, etc., advice on museums,
galleries and sites in Rome and beyond.

Artists
have the opportunity to focus on their art, whether it be creating a
new body of work, expanding a well-established oeuvre or allowing
themselves to draw inspiration from their surroundings and the centuries
of culture that define the eternal city.

In
addition, they will have access to the wealth of galleries and
exhibitions in Rome and beyond. Artists are encouraged to submit a
proposal for a final exhibition to display the work created during the
residency period.

We
also offer a residency in the countryside near Bracciano, with private
accommodation in a 1-bedroom house with a garden and a private studio.
This option is particularly attractive for collaborative projects and/or
ceramic artists who work with reduction firing as well as non-ceramic
artists who prefer a private studio.

A
selection committee composed of artists, art critics and historians
carefully evaluates applicants based on their artistic experience, merit
and project proposal. For more info and costs, contact Lori-Ann
Touchette, [email protected] or see our web-site: www.cretarome.com.

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
