OUR ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAMS
Our customized International Artist-in-Residence Programs offer competitive professional opportunities for emerging and mid-career, national and international artists, designers, curators, art historians, art educators, journalists, writers, and cultural researchers age 22 and over. Our programs are based on a non-exploitative model promoting 
social consciousness. Residents are strongly encouraged to explore various ways of cultural exchange as part of their artistic and/or research goals and to actively engage in critical discussions as part of their residency experience. Understanding Mexico or Peru’s context and cultural complexity is key for a successful cultural exchange. We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and disciplines who are interested in creating work or inspired by art, elements, techniques or processes specific to Mexico or Peru.

Arquetopia is distinguished worldwide for its array of unique, customized residency programs with substantial content. Our residency spaces function exclusively for productive art professionals, writers, and researchers and include structured, informative programs; a network of collaborative workspaces, institutions, and studios; and individualized project support.

RESIDENCY GUIDELINES
- Selection decisions are based on artistic work and proposed project. Candidates at all stages of their careers (emerging and established) must demonstrate a clear sense of potential.
- Our pool of applicants and residents is diverse in all aspects.
- Our residency programs are competitive opportunities for artists and researchers to pursue their own work, free of pressure (especially work that in their particular circumstances would normally be difficult to produce).
- Selection priority is given to projects that explore a responsible connection between the applicant’s artistic practice and the cultural context of Mexico or Peru. The connection can be as broad as an artistic technique or as specific as a local theme.
- The creation of community with fellow residents and staff during the residency period is important.

ARQUETOPIA FOUNDATION
Founded in 2009, Arquetopia is an internationally established, award-winning nonprofit arts and cultural foundation with a social scope that emphasizes critical thinking through artistic practices. Our academic International Artist-in-Residence Programs are the largest and most reputable in Latin America, with an array of contents anchored in a solid structure of collaborations with prominent cultural institutions, renowned experts, and notable artists. We are invested in approaching art and art history with a critical perspective by understanding Mexico and Peru’s complexity in context and incorporating nuances in narratives and interpretation especially of the 3,000-year heritage of visual culture of these two countries. Since its founding, Arquetopia has raised the bar in the residency field, becoming a reference to every residency program in Latin America and influencing most of them in approaching artmaking with more rigorous practices, critical perspectives, and high standards.

Making It will provide three emerging artists with a focussed period of time in our well-equipped printmaking studio with technical support and materials. The programme will begin with a week-long experimental workshop with access to Northern Print’s facilities, materials and technical expertise. This will be followed by a further period of time in the studio to develop skills and produce a small body of new work. The facilities include etching, relief and screenprinting alongside associated processes. There is also a darkroom, large format digital printer and lasercutting and engraving machine. The building has level access on both floors.

Work will be shared through digital media with the opportunity to present finished work at the end of the project, either online, in Northern Print’s gallery or external venue depending upon what is most appropriate. We will seek to further support the selected artists via our networks helping to create opportunities to discuss their work with those that can help them build their practice. The aim is that each artist will finish the programme with one opportunity identified upon completion of their time at Northern Print to ensure further progression.

Please note the date for the week experimental workshop will be agreed with the successful applicants and is anticipated to be in July/ August 2018. The programme will conclude in December 2018.

Who should apply?

The project is aimed at young artists who have completed their studies & most likely graduated in Fine Art. We would expect applicants to have shown commitment to continuing their practice for at least 1 year after graduation, proposing an age limit of 30 years. We would be looking for artists who have developed their skills and practice with a portfolio of strong work and some experience in print. We would be looking for a clear statement to further develop their practice with print as a key element.

There is a small contribution available for accommodation and travel expenses for those living at a distance from Northern Print. We are keen to support applications from a diversity of artists and encourage applications from individuals who may need additional or different support to access the facilities.

How to apply?

Please send a completed application form, CV and up to 8 images of your work relevant to this application to anna@northernprint.org.uk by midnight on Sunday 20 May 2018. Please put ‘Making It Application’ in the subject box. We cannot accept applications in any other format without prior agreement.

Ox-Bow’s Artist-in-Residence program, located in Saugatuck, MI, offers artists and writers the time, space, and community to encourage growth and experimentation in their practice. During the fall residents are given the time, solitude, and focus often unavailable to so many working artists. At Ox-Bow, artists can enjoy 24-hour access to their studios, and an inspirational setting, free from the expectations of commercial and academic demands. During the fall season, Artists-in-Residence have the opportunity to work in studios not available during the summer session. The fall is an ideal time for writers to apply as there are studios dedicated specifically to them. It’s also a great time to propose group or collaborative work. The residency is open to all visual art disciplines and writers.

The residency provides:
• Studio (access to ceramic, printmaking, and painting studios—if you would like access to these facilities make sure this is clearly stated in your application)
• Private room
• Meals
• A community of engaged artists
• Opportunities to share work: slide presentations and/or readings

We are happy to announce that in 2016 Ox-Bow furthered its commitment to the needs of artists by no longer charging fees for the residency program (including application, room & board, and residency fees). All accepted residents are fully funded. Artists may apply for additional stipends to help pay for the cost of travel, supplies, and time away from work.
