Tusen Takk’s three to twelve week residencies are geared for accomplished artists to explore new ideas or expand current work that affirms and enriches the human spirit, giving form to chaos and perception to beauty. A residency at Tusen Takk is a time to create; it’s also a time for artists to consider how their work engages with the history of its medium and how it intersects with existential questions of meaning and purpose.

Residency Period: Successful candidates will work with Tusen Takk staff to determine a three- to twelve-week residency period between March and December 2021.

A Tusen Takk Residency Includes:
-An honorarium of $625/week is provided to the artist to help cover residency-related costs including travel, shipping, materials, and day-to-day living expenses

-An opportunity to engage with Tusen Takk’s staff, network, and be featured on our social channels beyond the residency period
-Occasional meals shared at the Tusen Takk Main House - note, the vast majority of the time the artist will be doing their own grocery shopping and cooking their own meals in the Guesthouse’s fully equipped kitchen
-To enable self-sufficiency, and because Tusen Takk is located outside of public transportation, taxi and delivery service, the artist will have use of a Tusen Takk vehicle during their stay (with a valid driver’s license)
-Access to the Director Geoffrey’s personal library of over 700 volumes and private collection by appointment

Residency Candidate Qualifications:
-The ability to produce a consistent body of high quality work

-An openness to sharing thoughts on their work, their practice, and their processes through Tusen Takk’s online and printed publications
-Comfortable communicating with Tusen Takk’s English-speaking staff and audiences
-21 or older
-US citizenship or the ability to obtain a US visa (if needed). Most international artists can come on a visitor visa, but certain countries do not participate in the visa waiver program. Since delays can occur, international applicants should be sure to check the visa appointment wait times. Upon offer of a residency, the Tusen Takk Foundation is able to provide letter(s) of invitation.

Program Requirements:
In fulfillment of Tusen Takk’s mission, artists are highly encouraged to engage with the regional arts community when in residence. The context and form of this engagement opportunity are very flexible and can be coordinated with Tusen Takk staff either before or during the residency. Possibilities include a workshop, studio visit, or talk; or a public presentation or performance in collaboration with one of the Foundation’s partner organizations. Tusen Takk welcomes proposals from the artist about engagement ideas they might like to try during their residency here.

Artists should be willing to share their work, processes, and experience with audiences through Tusen Takk’s website, social channels, and printed publications.

With a focus on experimentation and collaboration, Dieu Donné founded the Workspace Program in 1990 to provide emerging, New York State based artists with the opportunity to explore paper pulp as an artistic medium.

The Dieu Donné Workspace Program residency includes an introduction to the medium and process, 5 days in the studio with a dedicated collaborator, and a $500 stipend. The residency concludes with a group exhibition. Each artist is paired with a master papermaker, creating a unique collaborative experience where a new medium can be quickly learned and put into practice. Experimentation is highly encouraged throughout the residency.

The Workspace Program is open to emerging artists who live and work in New York State. Artists from all disciplinary and cultural backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Applications will not be accepted from students enrolled in undergraduate or graduate degree programs during the program year. Applicants must be New York State residents and must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. No prior papermaking experience is required.

In recent decades, the Frans Masereel Centrum has become one of the most challenging and inspiring environments for contemporary artists to investigate printed matter in all its aspects, or to embrace it as part of a broader artistic practice. Critics, writers, curators and academics also use our facilities, to conduct theoretical research in the private context of an active arts center. Every year, an international, intergenerational mix of around 50 artists and critics is selected by an external jury to stay and work in the Frans Masereel Centrum for 3 or 6 weeks. No prior knowledge of printmaking techniques is required.

The Centre is accepting applications for its General and Essay residencies.

Essay Residency
Critics, writers, artists, curators and academics can reside at the Centre to conduct theoretical research about the medium of printmaking, prepare a critical text on a print-related topic, develop ideas for curatorial projects, etc. Both our collection and library are available for research.
