Deadline: February 1, 2020

The Eskenazi School of Art Architecture + Design at Indiana University Bloomington invites applications for a 4–6 week McKinney International Art and Design Residency. An established artist or designer will be selected whose primary country of residence is outside the United States. Applicants should be actively engaged in a 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.

Selected artists are required to visit for a 4–6 week period between October 1–December 11, 2020.

The Artist-in-Residence will be selected based on the merits of their professional careers, their dedication to being part of an academic environment, and their proposal to develop and expand on their creative process utilizing the facilities, unique collections, and research centers available at Indiana University. Selected applicants will be featured as part of the McKinney Visiting Artist Lecture Series and must remain in residence for the full period of the residency. In addition, prospective residents will coordinate with the Eskenazi School of Art + 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, Indiana University Bloomington is a cultural and artistic hub of the Midwest. While IU's amazing arts and entertainment offerings play a large role in the city's cultural atmosphere, 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.

Studio Art, founded in 1895, offers graduate and undergraduate degrees in fourteen concentrations including ceramics, drawing and painting, graphic design, metalsmithing and jewelry design, digital art, photography, fibers, printmaking, creative core and sculpture.

Studio space, lodging, and an honorarium of $5,000 USD will be provided. The program will also reimburse travel up to $2,000, 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 date preferences and interest in studio and research facilities and how these might best support your proposal.

Artists are invited to develop proposals using the following resources:

  • Access to studios from all 10 areas
  • Eskenazi Museum of Art. Holdings include significant original prints, photographs and collections of prehistoric to contemporary art
  • Grunwald Gallery of Art. Exhibits of contemporary art and faculty and student work

  • Jacobs School of Music. Music conservatory
  • IU Cinema. Art film cinema
  • Additional Bloomington campus or regional research resources or cultural assets.
