Art Association announces artist in residence program
Glen Arbor Art Association artist in residence program deadline March 1
From staff reports
The Glen Arbor Art Association offers several residencies each year for practicing artists who would like the opportunity for creative exploration in an idyllic setting in northern Michigan’s Leelanau Peninsula. The purpose of the residency program is to provide visiting artists with a respite from daily responsibilities to enable them to concentrate on their work. Participants use studio space provided at Thoreson Farm, a farmstead in the historic Port Oneida district of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. A small apartment is provided in the Art Association building in Glen Arbor at no charge for the residency period.
Residencies are considered in writing, visual arts, photography, sculpture, fiber arts, ceramics, music, philosophy and creative research. The selection committee will consider requests in light of suitability for our present facilities, as well as the submitted resume and images.
Residencies are normally two weeks in duration. Applications may be submitted until March 1 for the 2012 season for residencies during May-June and from mid-August to mid-October. Late fall, winter and early spring residencies are also available for writers and performing artists who do not require studio space. At the time of application, please indicate desired residency time frame.
Applications will be reviewed promptly after the submission deadline with notification by late March. For more details and how to apply, see our website www.glenarborart.org.
