Indiana University Bloomington
Deadline: March 1, 2018
The School of Art, Architecture + Design at Indiana University Bloomington invites applications for a 4 - 6 week Fall 2018
McKinney International Art and Design Residency. The residency will select an established artist whose primary country of residency is outside of the United States. Approximate dates for Fall 2018 are September 4th through December 15th. Applicants should be actively engaged in contemporary artistic practice and show evidence of a national and international exhibition record. Applications from practitioners of studio disciplines, as well as criticism, are welcome.
The Artist-in-Residence is selected based on the merits of their professional careers, their dedication in being part of
an academic environment and their plan to develop and expand on their creative process based on facilities and access to the unique collections and research specialties available at IU. The successful applicants will remain in residence throughout the tenure of their session. Selected applicants will be featured as part of the McKinney Visiting Artist Lecture Series. In addition, prospective residents will coordinate with the School of Art, Architecture + Design to offer studio visits, open studios and a workshop based on technical/conceptual innovations.
Indiana University Bloomington is the flagship campus of IU’s eight campuses statewide. Innovation, creativity, and academic freedom are hallmarks of our world-class contributions in research and in the arts. Just 50 miles southwest of Indianapolis with over 40,000 students, the University of Indiana Bloomington is the arts and cultural hub of the Midwest. While IU's amazing arts and entertainment
offerings play a large role in the city's cultural atmosphe
re, Bloomington is extraordinary in its own right. Bloomington residents and IU students, faculty, and staff form a vibrant, active community that benefits from the metropolitan qualities
of a large city and the easy pace of a small town.
The School of Art, Architecture + Design houses fourteen different areas of study in art, architecture, design, and merchandising. Studio art offers nine areas of focus: ceramics, digital art, graphic design, metalsmithing and jewelry design, painting, photography, printmaking, textiles, and sculpture.
Studio space, lodging and a salary of $5,000 USD, paid in monthly installments, will be provided for each position. The program will reimburse travel up to $2000, cover the cost of health insurance for the length of the appointment, and purchase up to $500 in supplies through the school. Other studio expenses will be the responsibility of the successful applicant.
To apply, submit a cover letter, CV, 500 word proposal, portfolio of ten images of recent work (artists) or 2 writing samples (critics/writers). Please specify in your proposal your availability for dates, and interest in IU’s studio and research facilities and how this would best support your studio practice.
