We offer residencies to professional creative artists from all nations and backgrounds working in one or more of the following disciplines: choreography, film, literature, musical composition, painting, performance, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and video. Artists apply individually. Peer review is the keystone of our selection process, with different panelists each season. Residencies last from two weeks to two months and include room, board and a studio. There is no fee to come to Yaddo, and we have modest access grants to help offset the costs of attending a residency.

All artists whose work falls within the five disciplines we serve are encouraged to apply. Generally, those who qualify for Yaddo residencies are either working at the professional level in their fields or are emerging artists whose work shows great professional promise. An abiding principle at Yaddo is that applications for residency are judged solely on the quality of the work. Yaddo places no publication, exhibition or performance requirements on artists in residence.

Not only is Yaddo an equal opportunity employer—we will not discriminate against any individual, employee, or application for residency based on race, color, marital status, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender, national origin, disability, or any other legally protected status recognized by federal, state, or local law—we strongly encourage applicants from backgrounds underrepresented in arts and culture to apply.

Submit seven digital images of visual artwork. Note: The Admissions Committee views images on personal computer screens and a large screen via projection. Optional: Documentary or elemental video of an installation.

For artists whose finished works are predominantly visual images - including, but not limited to painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, photography, mixed media and installation art.

Penland’s Winter Residency program is a short-term residency opportunity for artists seeking to work independently in one of our 16 media specific studios during Penland’s quiet season. Practicing artists of all backgrounds and at any stage of their career are encouraged to apply for a 2-week or 4-week session.

Artists needing access to facilities for research and development that can be supported by Penland’s well-equipped studios

Collaborating artists who want to work on a specific project or simply alongside one another in order to share technical expertise and/or creative inspiration

INTRODUCTION

The Manitou Springs Mineral Springs Foundation is partnering with Creative Alliance Manitou Springs (CRANE) to select an artist to design a new font for Iron Spring on Ruxton Avenue in Manitou Springs. The Mineral Springs Foundation’s mission is to restore, protect and publicize the natural mineral springs and to document their historic origins. CRANE exists to elevate creatives and support artistic and economic vitality in Manitou Springs.

PROCESS

4 finalists will receive $500 each to supply a project proposal, including detailed budget and sketches or maquette. Final project budgets of $20,000 to $100,000 will be considered. Project budget must cover all expenses associated with the design, labor, fabrication, project management, materials, tools, contracted services, operations, and travel required to complete the artwork, plus installation, insurance, and transportation and delivery of the work to the site. Any expense that exceeds the contracted amount will be the artist’s responsibility.

DATES
August 2, 2024: Submission deadline

August 8, 2024: Notification of Finalists

October 1, 2024: Finalist proposals due

December 1, 2024: Finalist announced

SITE CONSIDERATIONS

The Iron Spring Geyser was drilled in 1910 by Joseph G. Heistand. For more on its history, please visit https://mineralspringsfoundation.org/springs/iron-spring-geyser/. Its current font has deteriorated, and the Mineral Springs Foundation would like to install a new one. The vault housing the spring measures 57” in diameter, is 35” tall, and cannot be altered, but can be clad or wrapped. Access to the plumbing within the vault must be retained (see photos linked below). Designs can extend a maximum of 60” above the vault. The catch basin’s drain must remain within the sphere of the vault, and there must be no more than 18” between the faucet and the catch basin — care must be taken to prevent excess water splashing outside of the catch basin. The water is mineral-rich, and therefore consideration must be taken with materials. Possible materials include corten steel, stainless steel, bronze, and stone. A Mineral Springs Foundation representative with intimate knowledge of the plumbing of the spring will be available for consultation and collaboration during the finalists’ design process. Please see photos of the current Iron Spring Font, as well as other spring fonts in Manitou Springs at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1EmiqfTi7SkIzg8WIaCl04jjNHFwORC8n?usp=sharing for reference.

For any questions on the site, please contact Audrey Gray at [email protected]

SELECTION PROCESS

Submissions will be reviewed by a jury composed of members of CRANE and the Mineral Springs Foundation. Finalist submissions will be presented to the community for feedback, and reviewed by members of CRANE and the Mineral Springs Foundation.

Jury members will be considering aesthetic merit, engineering, community feedback, and budget when selecting the final design.

The Untitled Space is pleased to announce a partnership with non-profit SaveArtSpace for an empowering public art series of billboards curated by Indira Cesarine throughout the United States launching this October 2024, along with an exhibition of the artwork to be presented at The Untitled Space gallery this fall. Revolving around the theme of “FUTURE VISION” the public art series and exhibition is now open for artist submissions via an open call through August 5, 2024.

In today's rapidly changing world, the importance of envisioning a hopeful and equitable future cannot be overstated. The "Future Vision" public art billboard exhibition presented by The Untitled Space in collaboration with non-profit SaveArtSpace invites artists to dream big and create compelling visual narratives that imagine a better tomorrow. Running from October - November in time for the run up to the U.S. presidential election in major cities throughout The United States including New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Las Vegas, Detroit, Nashville, Phoenix and more, this exhibition curated by The Untitled Space founder Indira Cesarine is not just about idealism, it's about providing a roadmap for the future we want to build. By focusing on ideals such as justice, peace, equality, diversity, and sustainability, this theme encourages artists to create works that inspire, motivate, and guide collective action toward a more just and harmonious world. Activism has always been a driving force for progress. The "Future Vision" public art billboard exhibition aims to amplify the voices of those who are fighting for social justice and systemic change, and who envision a promising future. Art has the power to provoke thought, spark conversation, inspire and elevate. By turning billboards into canvases for art, we can reach a broad audience and demonstrate how creativity can be a powerful tool for advocating for a brighter tomorrow.

In a time when social justice movements are gaining momentum worldwide, it is crucial to envision a future where justice is not just an ideal but a reality for all. This includes racial justice, gender equality, reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, economic fairness, sustainability, and global peace. With increasing political polarization and global conflicts, the need for peace is more urgent than ever. Peace is not merely the absence of war but the presence of conditions that foster harmony, understanding, and cooperation. A sustainable future is essential for the well-being of all living beings and the health of our ecosystems.

Through powerful imagery and innovative practices, artists can inspire a vision of a world that motivates viewers. "Future Vision" serves as a catalyst for change. Art has the unique ability to transcend cultural and linguistic barriers, reaching a diverse audience and evoking emotional responses that drive action. When people see a vivid portrayal of what a better future could look like, they are more likely to be inspired to take steps toward making that vision a reality.

The "Future Vision" theme is a call to artists to use their creativity to paint a picture of what a hopeful and equitable future looks like. Turning billboards into canvases for activist art not only amplifies important messages but also democratizes art, making it accessible to a wider audience. Through their art, artists can inspire, educate, and mobilize viewers, helping to turn aspirational visions into tangible realities, harnessing their creativity for social change.

"I am thrilled to curate this public art series that transforms billboards into canvases for social change across the nation. The 'Future Vision' theme invites artists to imagine and depict a better tomorrow during a critical time leading up to the presidential election. Your artwork can inspire viewers, spark meaningful dialogue, and encourage a promising future - making it an essential part of this nationwide initiative. The billboard transformed into an art display is an innovative, and ultimately accessible way to transform spaces normally dedicated to advertising into public art that has power and impact.” – Curator Indira Cesarine

Artists are asked to be creative, with artwork inspired by your “Future Vision”

Each billboard will feature your artwork along with your name and the title of the artwork. The gallery exhibition will compliment the public art series with a presentation and celebration of the artwork. This open call is open to all artists, regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, or practice. All mediums are welcome.

In celebration of San Mateo County Parks’ centennial, the Parks Foundation seeks three professional or emerging artists to each design a poster for three of the 24 amazing San Mateo County Parks. Last year, we commissioned artists to create the first three Park Posters in our series. They have been met with an overwhelming positive response. We want to continue to build upon this success!

The poster design shall capture the essence of the specified county park. Selected artists will receive a $2,500 commission for their work, paid in 2 installments.

We are seeking artists to design posters for 1) San Pedro Valley Park, 2) Sawyer Camp Trail segment of the Crystal Springs Regional Trail, and 3) Wunderlich Park. In the future, we expect to commission artists to design posters for additional parks on a rolling basis.

Each park poster will be designed by a different artist. Unifying design details will be incorporated into each design, such as consistent border size and the park’s name and San Mateo County Parks Foundation’s name in a consistent font at the bottom of the design, as shown in the three posters commissioned in 2023 and in the attached "site details."

The goal is to engage the arts community and create lasting designs that capture and celebrate the essence of each park. The chosen artist should be familiar with their assigned park. San Pedro Valley Park boasts a diverse ecosystem laced with trails that offer expansive views of the mountains, valley, ocean and town. Three creeks weave their way through the park and in wet years, one can glimpse Brooks Falls - the only waterfall in the San Mateo County Park system. Sawyer Camp Trail is the most popular segment of the multi-use Crystal Springs Regional Trail. It is a 6-mile paved trail that offers incredible views of Crystal Springs Reservoir. Along the way are plenty of shady spots as well as the Jepson Laurel, the state’s largest and oldest California laurel tree, estimated to be over 600 years old. Wunderlich Park is a popular forested park for hiking and trail use. It is also an equestrian hub for boarding and riding, and is home to the historic Folger Stable and Carriage Room Museum.

Artwork must include recognizable landmarks or park features. Artists should expect to engage with staff to learn more about the goals and criteria for the designs and to learn more about the parks themselves.

The Monument to Honor Black Patriots aims to honor and acknowledge the overlooked history of the African American community in early Maryland, the majority of whom were free Blacks. The monument will communicate that the history of African Americans in Maryland begins with the free and indentured Black passengers on the Ark and the Dove’s original 1634 landing.

Over 150 Maryland African Americans, a minority of whom were enslaved people, are known to have enlisted and served in the Revolutionary War. Their existence and contribution have been largely unknown in Maryland's public history. With the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026, and in coordination with the MD250 Commission, Maryland has the opportunity to honor these soldiers and their military service to the creation of this nation. The concept for such a memorial artwork was initially proposed by Steven X. Lee the author of ‘The Story of Mr. Thomas Carney - A Maryland Patriot of the American Revolutionary War.’ Carney was one of many Maryland African Americans, who enlisted and served in integrated units during the Revolutionary War. Just like their white counterparts, the Black Patriots traveled with an army that included free and enslaved women and children who were integral to its functioning. Their contributions have been overlooked in historical narratives. Their legacy is but one of the omitted chapters in the heritage of early Maryland’s extensive Black community.

The purpose of the sculpture is to honor these unsung Patriots who were members of the Continental Army community and to expand public understanding of the people who contributed to the fight for American independence. This monument should celebrate the contributions of Maryland’s free Black population to our State and Country through figurative depictions and the selected artist's interpretation.

The State House Trust, the Commission on Artistic Property (of the Maryland State Archives), the Department of General Services, and the Maryland Public Art Commission (of the Maryland State Arts Council) are pleased to announce a Request for Qualifications from artists, or teams of artists (hereafter, “artists” shall mean individuals and/or teams of artists) with experience in figurative sculptural artwork to design and create a memorial to honor Black Patriots who served in the American Revolutionary War. Once identified, qualified artists will then be invited to submit proposals to be considered for commissioned work to create a monument that will be located on the grounds of the Maryland State House.

The County of Yolo and Yolo County Library, in an effort to further their community vision to create a more visually pleasing environment, is seeking permanent works of public art to be integrated into the Walnut Park Library in Davis, CA.

Since 2001 the County-wide library facility plan has recognized the need for a library South of I-80 in Davis. As an interim solution the South Davis Montgomery Branch has operated out of Marguerite Montgomery Elementary School for 4 hours twice a week since 2010. With the award of a Building Forward Grant from the California State Library in 2022 and a pledge of funds from the City of Davis in 2023 the Walnut Park, stand-alone, library will break ground in 2024.

The 12,000 square-foot building, designed by WMB Architects, will feature a large community room, study rooms, children’s, young adult and adult collections, children’s areas indoor and out, and a teen space. Located in Walnut Park, the library will be adjacent to Marguerite Montgomery Elementary School, Peregrine School and the park’s soccer fields, tennis courts and walking trails along Lillard Drive.

The County of Yolo will break ground in Fall 2024 for the Walnut Park Library in Davis, CA.

Project Criteria:

The artwork(s) shall consider one or more of the following elements:

Draw inspiration and context from the place and people of the South Davis community, including nearby Putah Creek and surrounding agricultural lands.
Be reflective of the library’s role as a connector of people and ideas, hub of community gathering, and education.
Provide imagery that is relatable and recognizable to the general public.
Inspire engagement in reading and storytelling.
Evoke a sense of comfort for and be inviting to multi-generational visitors.
Consider the design, architecture and scale of the site and building.

This residency invites artists to immerse themselves in the site, explore the house, its history, and the surrounding landscape, and respond to their experience through the creation of new works. Residents will share their creative practice and process with our community through several public in-person and hybrid events throughout their stay, including, but not limited to, workshops, open studios, and presentations. Through this program, the James Castle House keeps the legacy of daily creativity and experimentation alive on-site, cultivating a growing local and national community and providing a deeper understanding of James Castle and the place he called home.

• Artworks that reveal a personal experience or true understanding of the subject

How to Submit
A single-stage online judging of all submitted works will take place, after which selected works should be delivered to Mall Galleries, London, for inclusion in the exhibition:

• Upload images of your work to our Open Exhibition Submission System (OESS) between Monday 10 June and Friday 23 August 2024

Images must be in JPEG or PNG format and under 5MB. Please ensure that photographs are accurate and show work at its best; please avoid reflections on glass, out of focus images or images that are badly angled. Sculptors especially should use plain backgrounds and the option to add multiple views per artwork.

• Log in to the OESS from 12 noon on Friday 6 September to see if your work has been selected

• If selected, deliver your work on Saturday 5 October, 10am to 5pm, to Mall Galleries, 17 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5BD

Works should be delivered unwrapped with the relevant form and labels, which are downloadable from the OESS upon notification of selection.
Subject matter:

Work should be based on representing the world's wildlife. Wildlife includes any non-domestic animal such as birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, crustaceans and insects. Work will not be accepted if it is of botanical subjects, pets and domestic animals, or decorative wares (such as vessels or tiles).

Works depicting wildlife divorced from its environment or without place, setting or context are rejected in many cases. Biological or scientific illustrations are in most cases not permissible.

The Society receives many submissions that are obviously direct copies from photographs. Whilst some of the member artists use photographs for reference, the majority of artists create their work in response to their own experience of wildlife and spend many hours observing and sketching in the field. This knowledge of the subject is evident in the resulting work. Artists thinking of submitting should consider choosing a subject to which they can have access.

Cycle 25: This program provides one-time grants of up to $5,000 for recent unexpected medical, dental, and mental health emergencies to artists in financial need* who are creating in the visual arts, film/video/electronic/digital arts, and choreography. Only generative artists are eligible—artists creating their own, independent work, with recent and ongoing opportunities for the public to experience that work.

*To be eligible to apply, your average adjusted gross income for the last two years you’ve filed tax returns must be no greater than $75,000 ($150,000 for joint filers).

Please note: Rauschenberg Medical Emergency Grants are not for lost wages, living expenses, or medical care for individuals other than the artist. Visit NYFA’s Emergency Grants page for a regularly-updated list of emergency resources.

Please note: The need for emergency funding far outpaces available funds. An application to this grant program is not a guarantee of a grant award. In each cycle, we will distribute approximately $150,000 in total funding.

For Emergencies Occurring: October 1, 2023 and after

There are three eligibility criteria in this program: Individual, Artistic, and Emergency. We recommend you check all of these before taking the time to complete the application. If you meet the requirements, you should next review the application guidelines for instructions on submitting an application. You can also learn how the funding decisions are made, read our Frequently Asked Questions, and view a video information session.

1 – Your Individual Eligibility. You Must:

Be a generative artist creating work in visual arts, film/video/digital/electronic arts (not a performer), or choreography
Be 21 years or older on the cycle’s deadline
Reside in the United States, the District of Columbia, a Tribal Nation, or a U.S. Territory
Have an adjusted gross income of $75,000 or lower for an individual, or $150,000 for joint filers, averaged over the last two federal tax returns
Your medical emergency and treatment must occur in the U.S. (including D.C., Tribal Nations and U.S. Territories)
Demonstrate current and ongoing activity in your artistic discipline
Not have received a Rauschenberg Medical or Dancer Emergency Grant previously
Not be enrolled in any degree-seeking program
2 – Your Artistic Eligibility.

You need to create original work in at least one of the eligible disciplines, AND have recent and sustained artistic activity.

Recent and sustained is defined as activity over the course of at least the last five years, since 2019, with multiple opportunities for the public to experience your work during this time. This can be through exhibits/screenings/performances/activities in art spaces, galleries, local businesses, art houses/film series, public art installations, public spaces, museums, fairs/festivals, community projects, and/or residencies with public-facing components. Student exhibits, performances, and other activities are not considered. We do not accept portfolios/work samples. Reduced activity during the pandemic is acceptable.

If self-produced online presentations or sales of your work are your sole platform, such as Instagram or YouTube, we cannot consider your application eligible.

Eligible Artistic Disciplines

Only artists creating work in visual arts, film/video/electronic/digital arts or choreography may apply to this grant program. The applicant must be the primary maker of the creative work—for film/video, only the publicly named director and/or producer or credited co-maker are eligible. Editors, cinematographers, assistant producers, television producers, screenwriters, television/film performers and crew members, dance performers, et al are not eligible.

Works which are intended for commercial or mass production, or are work-for-hire projects, are not eligible. These include music videos, television shows, graphic and fashion design, commissions, and industrial films.

Please review the definitions for the eligible disciplines:

Choreography
Visual Arts
Film/Video/Electronic/Digital Arts
3 – Your Emergency and Expenses Eligibility.

In this program, an emergency is a one-time, unexpected, non-chronic condition as a result of illness, violence, an accident or triggering event, or sudden medical event, that requires treatment to ensure your health or life, and which without treatment has extreme impact on your daily life and ability to carry out/return to your creative practice.

In each cycle, we can consider emergencies that have occurred within approximately the last six months. The earliest date for an eligible emergency is listed in the Cycles information. The medical emergency and treatment must occur in the U.S. (including D.C., Tribal Nations and U.S. Territories).

How emergency expenses work:

You may request funds for related, eligible expenses incurred for up to 12 months from the date of the emergency. For example, if an emergency occurred on December 15, 2023, you can request funds for eligible expenses through December 14, 2024. Funds may be requested for expenses which you have already incurred, or will incur; which you have already paid for or have not. Whether or not you have insurance, you can request funds for your own out-of-pocket expenses. If you have not yet received a diagnosis or treatment because of lack of funding or the timing of this application, you may still apply. If you haven’t yet received a diagnosis or treatment, and/or your documentation isn’t on hand, provide as much information about your condition as possible, including estimates of treatment costs in your local area, if possible. If you receive a grant, you will be required to submit copies of paid bills/receipts for all funded expenses. You may also be required to submit a copy of your two most recently filed tax returns, demonstrating your adjusted gross income.

Eligible expenses include, but are not limited to, these out of pocket costs to the artist:

Provider (hospital/doctor/dentist/clinic) bills, including co-pays
Tests/diagnostics/assessments/consultations to determine necessary treatment
Physical/occupational therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic
Prescription drugs specifically for the emergency medical condition
Emergency dental work
Transportation expenses to/from appointments/treatments
Grants cannot be requested for non-emergency medical conditions; ongoing medical/psychological/psychiatric treatment; wellness visits; regular check-ups, annual exams or procedures; standard vision care or eyeglasses, or hearing aids, or medical equipment (unless required as a direct result of an emergency injury/surgery/condition); elective procedures; insurance purchase/premiums; herbal/supplement/dietary/experimental treatments; or any non-medical expenses, even if the result of an emergency.

Grants cannot be requested for treatment, prescriptions, or other expenses related to a chronic condition, or a progressive/age-related condition such as arthritis or cataracts, unless there are extenuating circumstances which cause an unexpected and severe worsening of the condition. Example: A recent traumatic incident triggered a flareup of an existing mental health condition.

Chronic diseases are defined broadly as conditions that last one year or more and require ongoing medical, dental, or mental health attention or limit activities of daily living or both.

Funds go directly to the artist, not a medical provider, unless there is a specific reason to do otherwise, with pre-approval from NYFA. Grant awards are routinely paid via direct deposit.

ABOUT
New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) is proud to partner with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation to administer the Rauschenberg Medical Emergency Grants. Robert Rauschenberg was committed to assisting fellow artists in need of emergency medical aid, ultimately establishing the nonprofit foundation Change, Inc. in 1970. In this spirit, this program is designed to serve artists in financial need who otherwise may delay critical treatment or incur substantial and perhaps overwhelming debt. We recognize the urgency of caring for and helping one another and, while artists are famously self-sufficient, we encourage you to ask for support when needed.

To request an accommodation or assistance in applying, please email [email protected]. We ask that requests for accommodation be made as soon as possible, preferably two weeks prior to the deadline, to allow adequate time for staff to support you in submitting an application on time.

BoyntonArts, the City of Boynton Beach Public Art Program, seeks artists to apply to exhibit their indoor artwork for the 7th Biennial Kinetic in Boynton Beach, Florida. The exhibition provides the opportunity to present, sell and share explorations in kinetic art over a two-day weekend.

The Biennial seeks works of visual, conceptual, participatory or experiential art where real motion, the illusion of motion or the feeling of motion are an essential attribute of the aesthetic content of the artwork. Artworks are for sale if requested by the artist. The dialogue among attending artists and designers and with the public has proven to be valuable to many.

NOTE: Artists may apply for multiple opportunities including Indoor and/or Outdoor exhibitions or installations and community engagement.

Kinetic Art

The Kinetic Biennial maintains a very broad perspective on kinetic art, or rather kinetic energy in the art. Real motion, the illusion of motion, and the feeling of motion must be an essential attribute of the aesthetic content of the artwork.

The Kinetic Biennial, 2025

The 7th Kinetic Biennial is a free art exhibit and symposium of artists, designers and performers to engage the Boynton community and all of south Florida visitors in contemporary kinetic art. The 7th Biennial demonstrates the interconnectedness of art and technology, and leverages human fascination with movement.

During the first weekend in February the Biennial festivities begin in the heart of tourist season with the 6 million south Florida residents. From February 1-2, 2025 the indoor event opening weekend will include indoor art exhibitions, artist and designer talks, student displays, turbine demonstrations, light projections and choregraphed motion performances with community volunteers. Live music, food trucks, artist booths and other activities will add to the festive atmosphere. Outdoor kinetic artworks and turbines will be installed for a 18 month display in downtown Boynton Beach.

In exciting event is centrally located within the 1.5 million residents of Palm Beach County, BoyntonArts anticipates a larger weekend audience compared to the 6,000 at the 2023 Kinetic event.

See the appendix at the end for more information.

Indoor Exhibition

The exhibition is held on the second floor of the historic Boynton Beach Arts & Cultural Center. The multipurpose room (former gymnasium / theater) is the primary space with temporary dividing walls. Hallway galleries and dance studios provide additional space and possible installations.

In general, each artist can display between one and eight artworks. The maximum wall space per artist is 15 linear feet and 64 square feet of floor space. Electric is provided to artworks requiring power. For hanging artworks, the artist should provide cables that loop over the exposed steel joists about 20 feet above the floor

A brochure listing all artists with website is provided to all visitors and available online. For interested buyers, a handout will be available with prices and artist phone number. If the artists do not wish to process payments for sales, BoyntonArts will provide credit card payments for a fee of 5%.

Primary publicity occurs through the Boynton Beach marketing office press contacts and a comprehensive social media campaign. We recommend that all artists have a website and a Facebook / Instagram handle.

Artwork is insured by the City of Boynton Beach for artist’s sale price or cost of restoration of the artwork for damage or theft while in the Boynton Beach facilities.

Selection Process

Via coordination by Craig Clark, Director of Recreation & Cultural Services, a selection panel will select the artists and artworks. The artists will be presented to the Boynton Beach Art Advisory Committee for approval.

Compensation

Each artist will be paid $100 honorarium. The full value of all sales are kept by the artist. No fee or percentage will be taken by BoyntonArts, except for credit card processing if requested on sales.

On-Site

In general, BoyntonArts prefers that the artists attend the exhibition and participate in the dialogue. However, this is not mandatory.

Copyright

The artist grants the City rights to reproduce the images or recordings of the artworks or presentations for non-commercial and publicity purposes including posting on City websites and social media.

3. Engage the Boynton adult and student community in interconnectedness of art and technology through kinetic art, industrial design and science.

4. Expand the amount of permanent outdoor kinetic art as a unique, year-round arts attraction in Boynton Beach for the cultural tourist and regional art enthusiast.

Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue?

Curated by Ellen Hackl Fagan, Founder and Director, ODETTA Gallery

Conversations between artists have always been a healthy antithesis to the pervasive myth that art is made in a solitary environment. In New York City, these conversations are promoted in robust arts communities that telegraph ultimately throughout a global art world.

In 1966 Barnett Newman began a series of monumental paintings titled “Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue?” In his response to Ab Ex painting, he chose to strip painting of any need for narrative, and instead, allowed color to be the sole subject of these works. The ginormous scale of this series drove the point home further, enveloping the viewer in Red, Yellow, and Blue, one by one. This step into Minimalist Abstraction was so radical that it caused several very public assaults against these works over the latter half of the 20th century. In addition to infuriating some, it inspired many other artists. His works propelled Conceptualism into becoming the next wave of contemporary art, lasting and influencing generations of artists. The most sublime response to the question “ Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue?,” for this curator, was Robert Irwin's piece, “Whose Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue?”, created in 2006, shown at Pace Gallery in Chelsea. Irwin surrounded us in ever larger panels of reflective red, yellow, and blue, and installed them on the floor and suspended them from the ceiling, offering the viewer an immersive experience in both primary colors and the full color spectrum due to the reflective nature of the panels.

The question is, are you afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue? Whether you stay clear of these colors in your artwork or whether you embrace them, for this exhibition we'd love a variety of fearless approaches to this challenge, thus continuing the advancement of a new century of contemporary art.

About the Curator:

Ellen Hackl Fagan has been featured in over 30 solo, and numerous group, invitational, and juried exhibitions in the greater New York metropolitan area and Northeast. Fagan has works included in permanent public and private collections throughout the United States and Europe. Her work has recently been the full color feature in print in Post Road Vol. #37 Winter issue 2021. She has been the subject of multiple interviews both on the air and online including WBYX’s radio program out of Yale University, and the New York Public Library’s Artist Interview series. Known widely for her generosity in offering artists opportunities, Fagan is also a fluent and experienced curator; as creator and director of ODETTA, www.odettagallery.com, she has curated and produced over 80 exhibitions showcasing well over 250 artists. Recently the pandemic inspired her to pivot to a new exhibition paradigm of online curatorial practices as founder of ODETTA Digital on the Shim Art Network, and ODETTA Petite, offering services enabling artists to better navigate social media tools and to develop their own curatorial voices and gallery spaces, both virtually and in real life. Fagan maintains her studio and curatorial practice in New York City, Connecticut, and Indianapolis, Indiana.

Eight (8) ground level and raised concrete bases have been constructed to provide support for temporary sculptures on the campus. Other landscaped areas, plaza and sidewalk locations can be made available. Another 5 sculpture bases with 36 light poles with banners are ready on the Avenue of the Arts.

A walking map brochure listing all artists with websites and images of artworks will be printed and provided to all visitors and available online. A GPS based app will assist visitors to learn additional detail about the artists and artworks.

1. Work can be donated to the City of Boynton Beach

2. Work can be held for no longer than six (6) months for pick up

3. Work can be destroyed at the written request of the artist

Artwork Sales

Willapa Bay AiR, situated on 20 acres in coastal southwest Washington state, launched its residency program in March 2014. The Residency has been specifically designed, from the site selection to the architecturally specific building concepts, layouts, and materials, to combine the opportunity for solitude with the opportunity for daily community that fosters creative endeavor.

We offer month-long, self-directed residencies to emerging and established artists, filmmakers, writers, playwrights, scholars, singer/songwriters, and musical composers. The Residency provides lodging, meals, and work space, at no cost, to six residents each month from April 1 through October 28 of the year. Applications are evaluated by selection committees comprised of working artists and professionals in the applicants' respective fields of discipline.

BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, & People of Color) Residency is an extension of The Studio's Artist-in-Residence program. Through this dedicated residency, the Museum aims to assist underrepresented artists while actively fostering a culture and community of inclusion that promotes, respects, and celebrates diversity.

Artists spend five weeks at The Studio exploring new directions in glassmaking or expanding on their current bodies of work while using the immense resources of the world’s leading glass museum. Applicants who identify as BIPOC artists are welcome to apply for this residency and for our other residencies.

Artists will benefit from the just-completed Wendell Weeks & Kim Frock Residency Center, which features seven studios surrounding a light-filled lounge that will be a hub for creative exchange and connection among residents.

The Studio facility is equipped for furnace working, flameworking, kiln working, and cold working processes, and can support other glassworking and fabrication methods upon request. Transportation, as well as room and board, is provided to those awarded residencies. A generous supply budget and studio space are provided to each resident. Residents have access to the Rakow Research Library, the extensive collection of The Corning Museum of Glass, and expert Museum staff. A residency manager serves as a liaison to additional services in Corning and at the Museum.

Selected applicants are invited for a five-week-long residency during the year. During the residency, artists will make their own work and are invited to give a presentation about their artistic practice or process during a free public event in The Studio.

Bryn Du is open to lots of ideas and will happily work with accepted artists to determine engagement activities that are enjoyable to the artist, may advance his or her journey, and engage the community.

La Porte Peinte is an international arts centre located in Noyers sur Serein, a medieval village in Burgundy that is celebrated as one of the 100 most beautiful villages in France. Based in a rambling medieval half-timbered building that leans out over the village square like something from a fairy tale, La Porte Peinte offers artists, makers, musicians and writers in residence the opportunity to engage in creative exploration and exchange in an unusually inspiring and supportive environment.

We welcome artists, performers, writers, musicians, filmmakers, photographers, and creative thinkers. Collaborative groups and partnerships are welcome to apply. While most residencies are artist-funded, we also offer a limited number of fully and partially funded residencies. We offer occasional themed and partnership residencies, and we are delighted to offer family residencies during specific periods. (Unless specified as a family residency, usually it is preferable for a resident not to be accompanied by a non-working companion, but we will consider such requests. If an artist wishes to bring a child but not as part of a family residency, we would endeavour to arrange for full-time child-care, for which there would be a supplementary fee.)

In addition to our core self-directed residency programme, we offer individually tailored mentored residencies for artists, writers and creators of any age.

FEE DETAILS
The cost for a residency is €1900, €2200, €2300, or €2500 per person per month*. The difference in cost is linked to the choice of bedroom. The fee includes all utilities costs, accommodation, studio space, use of the well-equipped and spacious communal kitchen and laundry facilities, wireless internet and printer.

*Contact us for information on costs for periods of less than a month.

GRANT/SCHOLARSHIP/OTHER FUNDING SUPPORT DETAILS
Each year we aim to offer several fully funded and partially residencies to individuals who would otherwise not be able to participate. La Porte Peinte USA, as a non-profit branch of the larger LPP project, aims to widen the field of opportunity to increase diversity, with a focus on individuals or groups who might otherwise lack access to such resources, e.g., artists affected by war, natural disasters, economic hardship or any form of discrimination. LPP USA aims to actively seek out such artists wherever in the world they may be, and to extend support to them through residencies, masterclasses, collaborations, or exhibitions. Areas of specific focus include film, photographic and written reportage that promotes global awareness and understanding; applied art that brings traditional techniques together with contemporary concerns, materials and methods; sustainable design; creative work by women; emerging artists of all ages; and African, Haitian, and Latin American practitioners, among others.
