Emerging Artists in Residence and Student Scholorship
EMERGING ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE (AIR) PROGRAM 2013
The Emerging AIR Program offers recent graduates the opportunity to work rent-free at the SNAP Printshop for one year. The residency is aimed at providing a new environment and stimuli for the artist to help expand her or his artistic practice. During the residency, artists are invited to give a lecture on their work and offer a workshop or demonstration of their specific technique(s). The program offers emerging artists a unique opportunity to exchange ideas with other print artists and discover Edmonton’s internationally acclaimed arts community while further developing their practice. NOTE: The residency provides a rent free space however normal supply fees for consumables apply.
To maximize the potential for artistic growth, and to encourage the production of a body of work outside of a formal institution an exhibition is a requirement of the residency. The exhibition directly follows the residency. The exhibition will occur in either SNAP’s community or studio galleries within 6 months of the end of the residency.
Selection:
A panel of arts professionals will select the visiting artist based on the artistic merit and clarity of the application, the suitability of the project for SNAP facilities, as well as the impact the residency will have on the artist’s practice.
Interested graduates are asked to submit: CV, Letter of Intent, numbered image list 10 images of previous work (jpegs should not exceed 300 dpi). Please include the name of an instructor that can be contacted as a reference.
Applications should be received no later than 31 May 2013 at 5:00pm.
