MASS SCULPTURE ART SCHOOL APPLICATIONS 2021/22 ARE NOW OPEN

Image: Mark Fischer, MASS Correspondence Course Sculptor 2020-21

We are delighted to announce applications are now open for our inaugural Studio and Off-Site MASS mentoring programmes for sculpture and our second year of the MASS Correspondence Course.

'Following on from the successes and contributions of Turps Painting Magazine and mentoring programmes we are delighted to launch MASS Sculpture Magazine and MASS Art School. Responding in part from requests from artists for a publication that reflects and investigates sculpture in a similar way to the discipline-specific nature of Turps Painting Magazine, and in part following on from the exploration of sculpture within my own practice, this is an inevitable development for both our publishing ambitions and mentoring led programmes. We continue to challenge the one size fits all, inch deep, mile-wide approach to art education that has developed over recent years largely for the benefit of the institution and has blunted the art school experience for both mentors and participants alike. I look forward to peer-to-peer critically supportive mentoring and engagement and a return to thinking with our thumbs.'

- Marcus Harvey , 2021

Mass Correspondence Course is an innovative distance-learning programme of online mentoring facilitated through critical, supportive written reviews by a dedicated mentor. The course is aimed at sculptors based anywhere in the world and at any stage in their career who want to develop or reinvigorate their work, whether recently graduated from art school or those without any formal arts education. Find out more.
Fees for 2021/22 are £1,750
Application Deadline: 30th August 2021

MASS Off-Site Programme is an exciting new mentoring opportunity for London based sculptors who want to develop their practice through the same successful ethos employed by Turps Mentoring Programmes and wish to remain working in their own studio. MASS Mentors visit sculptors in their own studios for one-to-one tutorials, and participants develop a supportive network of peers across London, through group studio visits to each other’s studios, reviews, and seminars based at MASS Hub at Thames-Side Studios, and attending MASS artist talks. The Off-Site Programme will run in tandem with the Studio Programme. Find out more.
Fees for 2021/22 are £2,250
Application Deadline: 10th September

MASS Studio Programme will be launching in October 2021 at our new MASS Hub at Thames-Side Studios. Our new home for MASS will be in the heart of the largest single-site community of artists and creatives in London. Working in collaboration with the London Sculpture Workshop we will offer a number of on-site studio spaces and a flexible exhibition and talks space to enable us to build a sustainable community of peers and mentors. The Studio Programme will be run in tandem with the Off-Site Programme. Find out more.
Fees for 2021/22 are £6,500
Application Deadline: 10th September

---

The Core Programme will be led jointly by Nicky Hirst and Ian Dawson. The Core mentoring team will include mentors on the Correspondence Course and contributors to MASS Magazine (see website for more details) and supplemented with a vibrant programme of visiting artists and speakers across the year.

---

‘Taking part in Mass CC so far... the conversation that happens via my statements sent to and reviews received from the mentor (Ana Genoves) has been an interesting process and I think it definitely creates more room for thinking in depth about the work and where I want to take it. The reviews have encouraged me to embrace complexity, paradox and taking a bit more time to see how things turn out. The correspondence becomes a place for uncertainties and exploring links with other art and writing. I have enjoyed the privacy of the correspondence process and also that the mentor’s response to the work can ask questions, challenge and be technical as well as supportive. I have found the reviews to have a rigour and attention to detail which I have not had to the same extent, if ever, in another educational context. The fact that it is written down may be part of this so there is more time to digest things.’
Michael Fischer, MASS CC 2020/21

'Applying to the new MASS Correspondence Course was a great decision for me; I was so happy to have been accepted. The mentor's reviews have depth and really get me to think about where to take my practice next although it is still early into the course. As someone who responds to deadlines, the course is really good at giving me structure. It has also been a great opportunity to connect with other Artists too.'
Carolyn Whittaker MASS CC 2020/21

Sculpture Space Artist in Residence 2019

Sculpture Space Artist in Residence 2019
2-month residency in Utica, New York. Free studio space, access to equipment and housing.
Deadline: January 15, 2018
Application Fee: $30.00

We offer a 5,500 square foot shared studio with specialized equipment in addition to five private studios. The Studio Manager provides ongoing assistance and technical expertise; the Operations Manager and Executive Director are available to assist with any other special requirements. Basic understanding and communication skills in English are necessary. Three to five artists are in residence each month; artists are expected to stay for a full two months. For absences longer than four contiguous days, stipend will be prorated. Housing is provided a block away in a newly renovated residence with private bedrooms, washer/dryer, TV, internet, shared living space and kitchen. Artists are responsible for materials, specialized tools and food. Bicycles are provided; transport for materials purchase and other needs is also available.The studio and house are located in the eclectic, historically underserved, diverse and upcoming West Utica neighborhood - close to downtown, and situated in Central New York's scenic Mohawk Valley. Because of Sculpture Space’s long history and presence in Utica, the community is supportive and receptive to site-specific work; in particular, we are interested in projects that realize and expand examples of creative place-making to our neighborhood and the community.

Since 1976, Sculpture Space has helped to support the careers and studio practice of over 550 national and international artists from around the world. As desired, artists and arts professionals (including curators and writers) are invited for informal studio visits. The collaborative environment of the studio and the communal aspects of the residence help foster dialogue, exchange of ideas, creative experimentation and both personal and professional connections. In addition to the CHAIRity fundraiser in September/October, the public is invited to Works in Progress receptions (held every few months); other visits are arranged by appointment.

Accepted artists are selected by a Review Committee and guest juror John Monti, Graduate Professor of Fine Arts at Pratt Institute. Artists are notified late February/early March. Primary criteria for selection are based on the quality, originality and potential of their work and proposed project. Dependent on funding, financial aid may be made available.

Artists are required to acknowledge Sculpture Space when works made while in residence are subsequently exhibited or published and must provide high-quality images of works for the website, archives and publications. In addition, we require artists donate a mutually-agreed upon artwork to be sold at our annual CHAIRity Art Auction, held every September, benefitting Sculpture Space’s programming.

Applications are accepted from NOVEMBER 1, 2017 - JANUARY 15, 2018 at https://sculpturespace.slideroom.com.
