Arts/Industry Program Call for Artists 2018

Description

APPLICATION PROCESS FOR ARTS/INDUSTRY PROGRAM

Arts/Industry has been doing something remarkable for over 40 years—connecting artists with the resources, technology, and materials of Kohler Co., and providing a place to explore new ideas, processes, and perspectives. Artists from all disciplines are encouraged to apply.

Each year up to 12 artists are selected for residencies in the Pottery and/or Foundry areas of the factory through a competitive jury process. No experience with clay or cast metal is required, just an interest in pursuing a new body of work and being open to new ideas.

Arts/Industry residencies are three months in length and divided into three seasonal cohorts:

• Spring cohort (January–April)
• Summer cohort (May–August)
• Fall cohort (September–December)
• There are four artists-in-residence in each cohort.

Artists-in-residence receive 24-hour access to studio space, materials, use of equipment, technical assistance, photographic services, housing, round-trip transportation, and a modest weekly stipend.

Application materials must include:

• 20 images of the artist’s work
• A résumé/CV (3 pages maximum)
• A written project proposal (250 words or less)
• Images supporting project proposal (3 images maximum)
• Contact information for 4 professional references

Applications for 2019 residencies will be accepted February 1–May 31, 2018
