upcoming deadline: The Saint John’s Pottery Jerome Foundation Emerging Artist Program

by | Feb 4, 2016 | call for entry, emerging artist, job posting, monday morning eye candy, movie day, residency opportunity, technical tuesday

The Saint John’s Pottery Jerome Foundation Emerging Artist Program
is a studio residency for artists to experience a community-centered
approach to ceramic art using local clay and natural materials. Eligible
individuals include emerging visual artists of any
discipline (ceramics, sculpture, printmaking, painting, etc.) from
Minnesota or New York City.
Founded in 1979 by Artist-in-Residence Richard Bresnahan, The Saint
John’s Pottery demonstrates a commitment to the integration of art and
life, the preservation of the environment, and the celebration of
diverse cultures. The studio is located at Saint John’s University in
central Minnesota.
The Jerome Foundation
has supported emerging artists for 50 years. Created by artist and
philanthropist Jerome Hill, the foundation supports the creation of new
works by emerging artists. The term emerging artist refers to artistic
development, professional accomplishment, and recognition. The program
supports artists who are the principal creators of new work, and:

  • Who take risks and embrace challenges;
  • Whose developing voices reveal significant potential;
  • Who are rigorous in their approach to creation and production;
  • Who have evidence of professional achievement but not a substantial record of accomplishment; and
  • Who are not recognized as established artists by other artists, curators, producers, critics, and arts administrators.

Two award recipients are selected each year via jury to participate
in residencies at The Saint John’s Pottery during the month of June.
Participants are provided studio space, clay, access to technical
assistance, an award of $3,600, and room and board. Works are later
fired in the Johanna Kiln, the largest wood-firing kiln in North America.

Application Deadline: February 12th, 2016

To apply, provide a CD with the following files in .pdf, .jpg, .doc,
or .docx format: 10 images; an image list document; an artist resume
with exhibition history; and a 1-page statement of rationale describing
why the residency will benefit the applicant. Label each image file with
only a number (01.jpg, 02.jpg) and note the number, title, year, medium
and dimensions of each work in the image list.
Please mail applications to: The Saint John’s Pottery Emerging Artist
Program, 2810 Saint John’s Road, Box 6377, Collegeville MN
56321. Applications must be received by Feb. 12th, 2016. Award
recipients will be notified in March for each June residency.
Submissions will not be returned.

Although age is not a factor in determining an emerging artist,
artists currently in BFA or MFA programs should finish all academic
commitments before applying. For questions about The Saint John’s
Pottery Jerome Foundation Emerging Artist Program, contact Steven Lemke, Program Manager, or call (320) 363-2930.

residency opportunity: The Byrdcliffe Artist in Residence Program

by | Dec 23, 2015 | call for entry, emerging artist, job posting, monday morning eye candy, movie day, residency opportunity, technical tuesday

The
Byrdcliffe Artist in Residence program provides artists of exceptional
talent with uninterrupted time and creative space to research and create
new work. Lasting four weeks (or a possible eight weeks for ceramic
artists), residencies provide artists with private studio space within a
community of peers and the serene natural setting of the Byrdcliffe Art
Colony. Artists are invited to participate in open studios,
work-shares, communal dinners and field trips, or may spend their
residency working in the creative solitude of a private studio.
Byrdcliffe’s residencies are particularly beneficial to those who find
it restorative to live in a simple, communal environment in close
proximity to natural beauty.
Surrounded
by the Catskill Mountains and just west of the Hudson River, the
Byrdcliffe Art Colony is home to over 80 artists each year, with 60
being hosted by the Artist in Residence Program while the remainder are
those who benefit from our artists’ housing. Beyond the AIR program, the
Colony is comprised of more than a dozen artist cottages, the
Byrdcliffe Theater, the Byrdcliffe Barn, a tennis court and the Mt.
Guardian hiking trail, as well as the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts
which is located in the center of Woodstock. At Byrdcliffe creative
time is sacrosanct, and artists are given free rein to decide what
activities will contribute to their residency experience. Byrdcliffe
offers a unique experience in simplicity of living amid the natural
beauty of a 250 acre campus of protected fields and woodland. At the
same time, Byrdcliffe provides the opportunity to live in a community of
creative people of all ages and backgrounds who are dedicated to
honoring the creative spirit.
Ceramics:
Please apply using the Visual Artists’ online application!! Byrdcliffe
accepts artists working in handbuilding and wheelthrowing techniques. To
be eligible for the residency, artists must have prior experience in
glaze mixing and kiln firing. CERAMIC ARTISTS CAN APPLY FOR 8 WEEK SESSIONS.

Application Deadline: February 15, 2016

Session Dates: Each
four week session is limited to 12-15 individuals. Candidates may apply
for additional weeks in the event a space becomes available. Most
sessions conclude with an Open Studio where residents share their work
with each other and the regional artistic community.

    • Session I: June 1 – June 27, 2016 (4 weeks)
    • Session II: June 29 – July 25, 2016 (4 weeks)
    • Session III: August 10 – September 5, 2016 (4 weeks)
    • Session IV: September 7 – October 3, 2016 (4 weeks)
