Royal Drawing School at Dumfries House (Fellowship/Residency)

About: Artists’ residencies at Dumfries House are open to alumni and faculty of the Royal Drawing School, Scottish Artists and to applicants through our partner organizations, for whom drawing is part of their practice.

The residencies are delivered by the Royal Drawing School, Glasgow School of Art and Dumfries House in conjunction with the Royal Drawing School’s international partners.

Funded residencies are available throughout the year, and provide a private studio and self-catering accommodation on the Dumfries House estate for up to four artists at any one time.

This is a unique opportunity for painters, textile and furniture designers, illustrators, practice-based researchers and applied artists who use drawing in their practice. The emphasis is on working from observation and the development of new work.

Applications are closed for alumni, artists based in Scotland and international applicants. If you have any questions regarding the residency or your application please contact residencies@royaldrawingschool.org

Additional Information: Regarding the Dumfries House opportunity, the residency allows for between two(2) and four(4) Yale students to spend 4 weeks each at Dumfries House, which is an estate in Scotland (the Royal Drawing School itself is based in London where the International Summer School is based). The estate facilitates a Royal Drawing School studio space which allows alumni from the Royal Drawing School to come and take part in a residency at the studios. Each summer we also open up the opportunity to US schools, one being Yale. The Dumfries House residency provides artists with a dedicated studio space, accommodation and free daily lunches, the residency is also self-directed giving the artists time to work and think in a wonderful surrounding. Alongside the artist are 3 other artists in residence, the artists are based in the same building and share accommodation, this allows them to network. Each year we open up the opportunity to two Yale students which are selected directly by Yale, the $2000 stipend (for flights and food) is funded by Yale and the time at Dumfries House (accommodation, studio and daily lunches) is funded by the Royal Drawing School.

CORTEX Magazine, a journal of arts & sciences: Editor applications open

“We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.” – Ray Bradbury

The universe is as beautiful as an echo – expansive, but microscopic. Blades of wheat whispering against each other in the yellow sun, the corona radiata of white fibers fanning out like a ray in our skulls, pulsing with the careful electric puzzles of life, the parallax angles of stars that poke through the wispy blue water of night. We seek those who are fascinated by these images, but are curious about the stories they might hold – of grief, anger, loss, love, and sacrifice, of the tender lobe of a mother’s ear even as wires curve into her mind.

CORTEX Magazine is a journal for the arts & sciences - publishing science fiction & critical essays about technology. Each issue, we will house collections of science-inspired fiction and poetry, illustrated by on-staff artists and scored with original soundtracks by musicians. We want to immerse our readers in your worlds. 

CORTEX Magazine is seeking applications for our team – as well as pitches for writing for the magazine. We invite students from all backgrounds and disciplines to apply to work as an editor, illustrator, or composer – and more – for our team. If you find yourself wondering, wanting to explore, hoping to experiment with your words, and wanting to investigate the intersection of the arts with the sciences, we hope you consider applying to join us. 

Applications for editors will be accepted on a rolling basis. For any questions regarding the project, reach out to sarah.feng@yale.edu or cortexmagazine@gmail.com.

Open Call for Nasty Women Connecticut: The Will to Change: Gathering as Praxis

For the sixth iteration of Nasty Women Connecticut’s annual exhibition, we look to the writing of bell hooks to make sense of feminisms’ shortcomings to further her project of gathering as an essential activity of the feminist movement. In Feminism is for Everybody, hooks writes, “we need feminist studies that is community-based.” She continues, “Imagine a mass-based feminist movement where folks go door to door passing out literature…to explain to people what feminism is all about.” We design this year’s exhibition as a space for creative forms of gathering and hosting that celebrates openness and inclusivity, but also makes space for our contemporary ambiguity, looking globally to understand community’s role in feminist movements. If the pandemic taught us anything, it’s that space can extend beyond a host site’s walls.

In the wake of hooks’ passing on December 15, 2021, we dedicate this show to her life’s work and message. She teaches us (in plain words) that no one is liberated under sexist, exploitative, oppressive systems. That, in these present-day scenarios we’re all held captive. Also that, “Healing does not take place in isolation.”

Evoking bell hooks’ book, The Will to Change, Nasty Women Connecticut invites artists, designers, poets, curators, performers, community organizers, cultural producers, and thinkers of all backgrounds to submit work that wrestles with these questions from a first-person perspective; designs opportunities for gathering and idea exchange outdoors, indoors and in virtual space; addresses, builds and repairs relation and community; and dares us to honestly love the self and others. As patriarchies continue to stroke fear and fan the flames of war, we feel the ripple effects through our enmeshment in globalized capitalism. We take special care this year to explore new relationships, specifically the roles men and boys play in dismantling patriarchy within our communities. In hooks’ words, “we have yet to create a world that asks us to stand by a man when he is seeking healing when he is seeking recovery when he is working to be a creator.” Pointedly, this work “can never be done alone.”

The exhibition will take place at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum in the Glassenberg Gallery, a 30 x 25-foot temperature and light controlled space, from June 18 - August 12, 2022.

Submissions may include visual, performing and/or literary art. Given the dimensions of the exhibition space, the organizers suggest limiting pieces to 60 inches in any direction, but consideration will be given to all submissions. 

The open call form includes room for describing your submission proposal and invites ideas for new installations, responses to the Lyman Allyn Art Museum (i.e., the permanent collection, physical architecture, grounds, and/or history), and text-based contributions, performances, and public programs.

Deadline: May 18, 2022. Full information & apply >>

In answer to the growing needs of art school graduates, and to encourage the cross pollination of ideas, The Launchpad, a strategic partnership with Hartford Art School, University of Hartford was formed in 2016. Emerging artists who have been severed from the umbilical connection of guidance, direction, community and art facilities found in a degree program, often face an uncertain future that, for the most part, has to be negotiated independently. Often working in their parents’ basements or garages, many promising young artists find themselves isolated without intellectual and creative stimulation. The Launchpad program offers participants access to affordable shared studio spaces above Five Points Gallery, free access to the Art Center, a serious arts community, mentorship, exhibition and gallery management opportunities, as well as a biennial exhibition in Five Points Gallery. Studio Monthly Rate if accepted: $85.00.

Applications accepted year-round. Full information >>

Ann Lesley BarTur Photo Award 2022 Theme: (Vision of the) Future 

Don’t dwell in the past, live for the present, and look to the future. It is precisely this maxim that the Ann Lesley BarTur Photo Award wants to unpack with women photographers from all walks of life and experience. What does the future look like to you? We invite submitters to this category to turn their lens on any aspect of how they imagine the future; be it through intimate personal hopes or fears, or through aspirations and trepidations that they have for society at large.

How do you imagine your cities to be designed, inhabited, organized? Do you predict feeling more connected to the world or more isolated? Do you see the meaning of family being reshaped or challenged? Are you hopeful or apprehensive about the progression of gender equality and social justice? What do you think art will look like in the future, and how will we value it? Do you think understandings of womanhood and femininity will be different in the future? How will climate change, war, and global health crises affect how we relate to the planet and to each other as humans? Do you feel optimism, fear, or even apathy about how things unfold? 

Anyone who identifies as a woman, non-binary, or gender-queer is encouraged to submit to the award, and photographers of colour and from the Global South are particularly encouraged. Winners will receive a monetary prize from the USD 20,000 BarTur prize pool and equipment loan from Leica Fotografie International. The BarTur Photo Award also offers winners mentorship and exhibitions across Europe.

Locust Projects seeks proposals for LAB MFA, a summer residency and exhibition program

Locust Projects, Miami’s longest-running alternative art space, invites graduate-level artists to submit project proposals for an exhibition in our 400-sq ft Project Room during the summer of 2022. Exhibition proposals should reflect an expansion of an artist’s practice in conceptual scope, scale, or media. Proposals can reflect new work that will be created for the exhibition that has never been presented before or work created on site. Priority will be given to projects that demonstrate exceptionally unique methods, processes, or concepts, particularly those that could not be presented in a traditional gallery setting with an emphasis on site-specificity and installation. To see past examples of past LAB MFA and past Project Room installations, please see  Past Exhibitions here. 

We accept proposals from artists working in any media and artists can apply as individuals or two-person collaboratives presenting a singular project. Special consideration will be given to artists who are presenting work that is directly related to their MFA studies or artists who have never realized a solo exhibition previously. Please keep in mind, we are not a traditional gallery space. If the exhibition could easily be presented in a traditional gallery setting or could be realized without the support of our organization, it is unlikely for us to consider your proposal. We are not a commercial gallery, we do not offer artist representation.

All artists must be currently enrolled in an MFA program during the spring of 2022 to apply for the LAB MFA program.

Henry Moore Foundation Residency

Candidates must be a current MFA student or 2022 MFA graduate from the Yale School of Art

Henry Spencer Moore (1898–1986) was one of the most important British artists of the twentieth century and arguably the most internationally celebrated sculptor of his time. Renowned primarily for his semi-abstract monumental sculpture, which can be seen in museums and civic spaces all over the world, he also produced a remarkable body of work in drawing, printmaking, and textile design. Moore was a pioneer, and the first British artist to become a global star in his own lifetime. His work came to symbolize post-war modernism and it is said to have initiated a sculptural renaissance in Great Britain.

The Henry Moore Foundation (HMF) and the Yale Center for British Art (YCBA), the largest museum outside of the United Kingdom devoted to British art, annually award a monthlong residency to a current MFA student or recent MFA graduate of the Yale School of Art with an interest in Henry Moore’s art and life. The resident spends most of their time at Henry Moore Studios & Gardens (HMS&G) at Perry Green in the Hertfordshire countryside with the opportunity to spend up to one week at the Henry Moore Institute (HMI) in Leeds, exploring the Foundation’s extensive resources, with a particular focus on the collections and archive at HMS&G.

Located at the artist’s former home, HMS&G holds one of the world’s largest collections of archives (Henry Moore Archive) and artworks (Henry Moore Collections) by a single artist. With a wealth of staff expertise to offer within the Collections & Programmes Department, it offers an unrivalled resource for the understanding and appreciation of every aspect of Moore’s practice and legacy. HMI holds a research library for the study of sculpture, comprising more than twenty-seven thousand books, exhibition catalogues, journals, and audiovisual items. Access to these resources is available to the successful applicant for the duration of the residency.

Applications for the 2022 program are due Friday, February 25, 2022. Full information & application here >

Barnard College-based Journal of Art Criticism — 2022 Call for Submissions: Temperature

For its seventh issue, the Journal of Art Criticism (JAC) seeks essays and original artworks that interrogate the notion of temperature in the changing world of contemporary art.

Some questions that might guide this exploration include—but are certainly not limited to—the following:

• How have contemporary artists represented temperature—physical, emotional, atmospheric, political, social? 
• How does temperature affect processes of migration and transculturation?
• In what ways have artists engaged with themes of habitable space? Does temperature govern uneven capitalist development? How has contemporary art interrogated globalization?
• How do contemporary works generate transitional spaces, intermediate states, and moments of discrepancy? How have they fabricated or contested the thresholds or boundaries between elements?
• Does work surrounding febricity and the climate need to be didactic? Should art seek to transcend anthropocentrism?

The journal welcomes written submissions discussing any work of contemporary art—from painting to performance, relational aesthetics to sculptural installation—so long as it engages critically with some dimension of what it means for art to interrogate temperature. Essays should be 1,000-3,000 words and previously unpublished.

In addition to written submissions, we accept submissions of original visual art in any medium. Artist statements are accepted, but not required. Priority will be given to artworks that engage with the notion of temperature either formally or thematically.

Undergraduate students from any institution are encouraged to submit. Please note that JAC is a strictly undergraduate journal.

Deadline: January 28, 2022. Full information & submit >>

Call for Applications: Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art 2021 | sonsbeek20→24

Online: August 18–22, 2021

The five-day Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art program, Curating Noise: Reverberations and the Polyvocal, will take place online and in-person within the 12th edition of the quadrennial sonsbeek20→24, developed in close dialogue with its curatorial team (including artistic director Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung and co-curators Antonia Alampi, Amal Alhaag, Zippora Elders, and Aude Mgba) and framework, Force Times Distance. On Labour and its Sonic Ecologies, that invites and encourages different modes of listening to make audible that which is already there, but remains unseen and unheard.

This special session of Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art will focus on a contemporary conception of noise that builds from the idea of listening as a participatory practice. Where in the past noise was something to be controlled and suppressed, today noise and uncertainty are entangled with one another as key concepts in the production of contingency as a driving force of innovation, creativity and resistance. As Reza Negarestani surmises in his essay, “Contingency and Complicity,” the contingent artwork can become the basis for new interactions and dynamic processes that drive the artist to novel realizations and opens up the potential of the work not assumed at its inception.

Deadline: August 10, 2021. More information and how to apply >>

ABOUT AIR INSTITUTE:

Art Builds Business Builds Art.

Air Institute believes a diversity of people, opinions, and experiences, at decision-making tables, make communities and economies stronger. We believe that historical and current inequities must be addressed and remedied. We work to ensure that our communities have full access to essential education, tools, and resources that build self-determination, resilience, cultural equity, and creativity. We practice and teach consensus-based collaboration. We believe every community is unique and should define its own measure of success: quality of life, economic stability, individual accessibility, and opportunity.

What if more of us developed our creativity? And then we applied that creativity to everything we do. What new ventures would be started? What revolutionary ideas would emerge?

The world would be different. And not just for artists and people in the art world, but for all of us. 

It sounds so simple. And yet, so much of our society is broken into silos, dividing those who are “creative.”
