Residency opportunity!

Lawrence Arts Center (Lawrence, KS)

The Lawrence Arts Center offers two artist residency programs, to help support, sustain, and foster growth in local arts and artists by providing material support for development of special projects, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary works, helping local artists to create works competitive on a national scale.

Year-long printmaking residency:
The Printmaking Artist in Residency program is designed to provide a creative environment for emerging artists and to broaden the center’s students and faculty awareness of new approaches and techniques. These year-long residencies begin on August 1 and end on July 31. The ideal candidates should have an MFA in printmaking and be self-directed and able to work independently. Preference is given to candidates who have demonstrated artistic excellence as well as interest in experimentation and innovative techniques. The resident will be provided studio space, housing, a monthly stipend of $1,000, and 24 hour access to all studios, including print, ceramics, drawing and painting, metal, photography, and digital media. These 12-month residencies provide a multi-faceted experience that includes teaching, community outreach, interaction with other artists, and studio care, and culminate in an exhibition of new work. Application fee $35.

Deadline: April 15 of each year.

Project-based residencies:
Individual artists or teams are encouraged to submit proposals for projects that show innovation and a desire to develop new work. Preference will be given to proposals that imagine the space in new ways and can benefit from the extensive studios and creative resources at The Lawrence Arts Center. Selected artists will receive a stipend of up to $300 per project, use of studio space at Arts Center established times, and up to 8 hours of private instruction in any studio space or medium. Housing will be provided, and the duration of the project based residency is 2 weeks – 4 months. Application fee $15.

Deadline: Proposals are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
