Salem Art Works (SAW) welcomes applicants to its 2019 Summer Artist Residency Program
DEADLINE: January 31, Midnight ET
APPLICATION FEE: $20
Located in Upstate New York on the border of Vermont, Salem Art Works is a 120 acre sculpture park, community art hub, and artist residency. SAW offers three fully subsidized artist-in-residence programs between June and September for emerging, mid-career, and established artists of all disciplines.
Each program (Young, Studio, and Fellow) provides artists with accomodations, meals, studio, facility access, a complimentary workshop, and opportunities for professional development. The Young and Studio artists participate in a work-trade while Fellows are given the entirety of their stay to develop their work.
Residents have access to all of SAW’s facilities,which include; a glass studio, smithing studio, foundry, ceramics studio with anagama kilns, welding bay, stone carving bay, screenprinting studio, and woodshop.
Salem Art Work’s mission is to provide a unique alternative arts learning/experimental environment to support artists in the creation of new and progressive work in addition to promoting the understanding and appreciation of contemporary art within the region. By providing an extensive set of facilities and support, these residencies enable artists to experiment and expand their current body of work, both materially and conceptually. Those who will most benefit from this experience are looking for the freedom, space, and resources necessary to both deepen and expand their practice.
