Anderson Ranch offers an artists’ residency program designed to encourage the creative, intellectual and personal growth of emerging and established visual artists. Finalists are chosen on the basis of artistic merit by an independent jury of established working artists and will live and work at Anderson Ranch for a approximately ten week residency period. While in residence, all artists will share in an established community of interaction, conceptual development and intense production of work. Given the staffing and facilities available at the Ranch, its artist residency program will become one of the most robust programs of its type in the United States.

The Anderson Ranch Artists’ Residency Program is designed to foster creative, intellectual and personal growth for emerging and established visual artists. There are no specific educational qualifications for entry into the program. Awards will be made to those, who in the exclusive opinion of the jury, have submitted the best work by the application deadline.
While in residence, artists will be encouraged to pursue their own work amidst a group of artistic peers. The residency is designed to allow artists to take risks and pursue new projects and ideas, free from every day pressures. The residency is for those artists desirous of advancing their work or creating a new body of work. Residents are encouraged to pursue a multidisciplinary approach toward their work while at the Ranch. Resident artists will be provided with housing, studio space, meals and certain other benefits and will be required to submit only a nominal residency fee of $100. While in residence, there is an optional structure of critical study such as studio visits, visiting artists, etc.

To apply for the Fall 2010 (Approximate dates: October 12- December 20) and Spring 2011 (Approximate dates: February 1 - April 13) residency terms, applications must be submitted online by February 1, 2010.

A.I.R. Gallery Fellowship Program

Founded in 1972, A.I.R. Gallery is the first artist-run, not-for-profit art gallery for women artists in the country. As an early alternative space, A.I.R. served as a catalyst for the women’s art movement and a model for other artists and arts organizations. As art critic Holland Cotter recently wrote in the New York Times, “Most of the interesting American artists of the last 30 years are as interesting as they are in part because of the feminist art movement of the early 1970’s. It changed everything . . . . What art in the next 30 years will look like I don’t know, but feminist influences will be at its source.” Building on A.I.R.’s historical influence on contemporary art, the Fellowship Program provides visible gallery space while focusing on building relationships with other more experienced artists, art professionals and collectors. A panel of outside reviewers will select participants. Panelists will visit the individual artists’ studios in preparation for their solo shows. Each participating artist, in addition to their solo show, will work with the gallery artists to staff gallery programs and activities. Fellowship recipients will also plan and implement a public program or special project for the gallery during their eighteen-month tenure. Artists accepted to the program receive the following benefits:

1. Sponsored membership at A.I.R. Gallery from March 2010 to July 2011;
2. A solo exhibition in the Fellowship Gallery during membership;
3. Printing and mailing of exhibition announcement cards;
4. Participation in membership-based exhibitions;

Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) and the Mayor’s Office of the City of Paris (Marie de Paris), in collaboration with the Cultural Services Department at the French Embassy in New York, are partnering again to provide one New York City artist with the opportunity to live and work at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, France. LMCC is currently inviting artists to submit applications for this special residency. One artist will be selected to be in residence for six consecutive months, from March – August 2010.

LMCC’s partnership with the City of Paris began in 2002 when they reached out to LMCC as a gesture of fellowship following 9/11. Since then, LMCC has sent 10 New York City artists to Paris. The Paris Residency builds on LMCC’s history of creating opportunities for artists to both have new experiences and develop new work.

The Paris Residency Program is open to emerging and mid-career visual artists who are U.S. citizens or U.S. Permanent Residents, and are also New York City residents. New York City includes all five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island.

WOODSTOCK A-I-R participants are selected by a peer panel comprised of professionals in the field and have included past participants in CPW’s residency and exhibition program, curators, collectors, and art critics.

The Core Program attracts a diverse array of applicants from across the US and abroad. Residents are chosen by a jury of professional artists, art historians and critics based on quality of work.

APPLICATION DEADLINE IS APRIL 1, 2009.

The Core Program awards one- and two-year residencies to highly motivated, exceptional visual artists and art scholars who have completed their undergraduate or graduate training but have not yet fully developed a professional career. Established in 1982 within the Glassell School of Art, the teaching wing of Houston’s Museum of Fine Arts, the Core Program encourages intensive and innovative studio practice as well as the elaboration of an intellectual framework through which to understand that practice. Residents engage in ongoing dialogue with each other and with leading figures in art and criticism who are brought in as visitors.

Each artist-resident is given approximately 450 square feet of private studio space, 24-hour access to school facilities and equipment, and a $10,000 annual stipend. In 1998, the program added critical studies residencies. These residencies also include a $10,000 annual stipend and access to facilities, including borrowing privileges at the museum’s Hirsch Library and the Fondren Library at nearby Rice University. The program runs on an academic calendar, from September through May. Toward the end of each year, the artist residents mount a group show in the school’s main gallery, and the critical studies residents prepare essays summarizing aspects of their independent research. These essays, as well as documentation of the resident artists’ work, are gathered in a published catalogue.

In addition to such writing projects, critical studies residents are challenged to curate their own separate shows using space allotted within the museum and/or school. Additional writing and curatorial opportunities are created through cooperation with other area schools and nonprofit art organizations. Like the artist residents, each critic in the program meets independently with visiting scholars and theorists, as well as the Program Director, to discuss his or her curatorial projects and overall research. In this way an environment is created that amply supports not only the production of individual work by both resident artists and critics but its reception within an intimate yet diverse creative and intellectual community. After the first year, residents may reapply for a second year.
