residency opportunity: NCECA and Kohler Arts Center

NCECA has partnered with the John
Michael Kohler Arts Center’s Arts/Industry residency program to offer a
2-3 month ceramics residency for one Emerging Artist applicant! This
opportunity arose from the concurrent timing of our 2014 conference in
Milwaukee, WI and the Arts Center’s 40th anniversary for their
Arts/Industry residency program in Sheboygen, WI.  What better way to
celebrate than to bring our organizations together and create this
amazing opportunity for the best and brightest in our field!

The application for the Arts Center’s Arts/Industry residency will be
incorporated into the Emerging Artist application. All 2014 Emerging
Artist applicants are eligible but must indicate on the application form
if they want to be considered for this opportunity. A 250-word (or
less) project proposal will be required so you can begin thinking about
that now. The John Michael Kohler Arts Center will make the final
selection, and their selection process is independent of NCECA’s
Emerging Artist selection process. This means that while one may not be
selected as an NCECA Emerging Artist, one could still be selected by the
Arts Center for this residency.

The lucky artist selected for this honor will do a 2-3 month
residency during 2014, which will be coordinated between the artist and
the Arts Center.  The Arts Center will provide housing, studio space
with 24-hour access, materials, firing, technical assistance and a
modest weekly stipend for food. NCECA will provide up to $1500 to defer
costs for traveling and shipping expenses.  We’re so happy to have The
John Michael Kohler Arts Center on board for this partnership during
their milestone year and our 2014 NCECA conference in Milwaukee. This is
a golden opportunity for our NCECA Emerging Artist applicants and one
that is not to be missed!
