Emmanuel College, located in Boston, Massachusetts, is now accepting applications for the 2011 Summer Artist Residency Program. Approximate date of residency – mid. June to mid. August. Please apply to one of the following categories: Ceramics, Photography, Printmaking, or Social Justice (any media related in some way to issues of social justice.) Up to a $2000 stipend is provided for all travel and residency costs.
Artists have 24-hour access to studios and are provided with on campus living quarters and a small, shared kitchen. Artists are responsible for their meals. All artists are required to donate one piece of artwork to the college’s art collection at the end of the residency.
Resident artists will participate in Contemporary Art and Artistic Practice, an art history course offered to students during the summer residency. Artists will be required to devote three hours of a mutually agreed upon time to discussions about their own artistic practice with students enrolled in this course. The course focuses on the theories and methodologies that inform current contemporary art trends as they relate to the four Emmanuel College artists in residence.
Also, all artists are required give an on campus demo/lecture of their work to Emmanuel students during the 2011-2012 academic year. The date will be coordinated with the faculty member in each area. Artists are responsible for their travel and lodging during this visit.
