Artist in Residence Program

Program Information

Emmanuel College awards up to $2000 stipend per artist for all travel and residency costs.

Artists have an access to studios from 7:00 AM. to 11:00 PM and are provided with on-campus living quarters and a small, shared kitchen. Artists are responsible for their meals.

Artists donate 1 piece to the college at the end of the residency. This will become the colleges' permanent collections. They will be used as a teaching tool as well as to enrich the culture on campus.

Resident artists participate in Contemporary Art and Artistic Practice, an art history course offered to students during the summer residency. Artists are asked to devote three hours of a mutually agreed upon time to discussions about their own artistic practice with students enrolled in this course. The course focuses on the theories and methodologies that inform current contemporary art trends as they relate to the four Emmanuel College artists in residence.

Artists participate in the closing exhibition scheduled at the end of the residency. This is an opportunity for artists to exhibit the result of the residency work. The college community as well as the local creative community are invited to view the exhibition.

Artists are expected to give an on campus demo/lecture of their work to Emmanuel students during the 2012-2013 academic year. The date will be coordinated with the faculty member in each area. Artists are responsible for their travel and lodging during this visit.
