Project Development Grant

Well known by visual artists as the "Gift of Time", the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program was established in 1967 to provide gifted studio-based visual artists with the unique opportunity to concentrate on their work in a supportive, collegial environment for an entire year. This gift of time allows artists to work without distraction in an effort to break new ground and focus on individual goals. The Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program’s interest is in strengthening the vitality of the visual art in New Mexico and has been a catalyst in broadening community understanding of contemporary art for over fifty years.

The Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program offers six artists a place to live and work for a year, with a monthly stipend and no strings attached. Artists-in-residence have the opportunity to mount a solo exhibition of their work at the Roswell Museum, and to have an artwork purchased for the permanent collection of the Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art. Over the past 50 years, the residency has welcomed more than 280 visual artists.

  
**Rough start dates for the 2026/27 residencies will be:** 

2 residencies beginning January 1, 2026 

2 residencies beginning April 1, 2026 

2 residencies beginning August 1, 2026

**Accommodation:**

The studios are large, open spaces that measure approximately 30 'x 25 'x 10'. These areas are well-lighted and convertible to the artist's requirements. Artists are housed in a complex of six houses and 8 studios located on fifty acres of land. Each artist is provided with a house that can amply accommodate either a single person or a family. Rent, utilities (except telephone), repairs and maintenance costs are borne by the Program. Houses are furnished with major furniture items, appliances, and utensils within reason. The compound also has specialty workshops: printmaking studio (stone litho/etching), digital media room, woodshop, welding shop, and ceramics studio. Residents have full use of these facilities and are expected to help maintain them.

**Stipend:**

* A stipend of $1100 per month is offered by RAiR to each artist-in-residence.
* The Fredrick Hammersley Foundation has generously provided an additional stipend of $250 per month for artists' materials.
* For families and couples, RAiR provides an additional $100 for partner and each child living with the grantee. (For example, a single artist would receive $1350 per month and a family of 4 (resident, partner, 2 kids) would receive $1650 per month.)

**The FCCS Woodhaven Artist in Residence Program provides a paid residency opportunity for a diverse variety of visiting artists including writers, visual artists, digital media artists and performance artists. Artists stay between 2 – 4 weeks at our Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre in the summer months.**

  
We are seeking applications from artists or writers who are engaged in visual arts, digital arts, performance, social and community-based artistic practices. We particularly encourage applications from BIPOC artists and those from marginalized groups that are traditionally underrepresented in ecologically-focussed creative practice. 

  
**Residency Information**

This residency includes accommodation in a large two-bedroom home located at the Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre as well as full use of a studio on the property. The visiting artist/author/performer will be expected to spend time on their own art practice as well as part of their time on community engaged programming, and are invited to stay between 2 – 4 weeks, anytime between July 1 to August 15\. 

  
Artists who are engaged in visual arts, creative writing, digital arts, performance, and community-based artistic practices are invited to apply. Space on site is limited, and minimal equipment is available at Woodhaven. 

The Woodhaven Visiting Artist Residency is primarily designed to support site-specific artistic practice that engages with the space at Woodhaven (which includes forested areas and a creek), the Okanagan region more broadly, or local knowledge and expertise. 

UBC Okanagan campus is home to the Bachelor of Sustainability and has faculty working in multiple areas of climate and sustainability focused research and creative practice. This residency is a vibrant part of UBC Okanagan’s commitment to building communities, both locally and globally, that are committed to creating and sharing knowledge and creative practices dedicated to the mindful preservation and just stewardship of our world’s natural environment. 

Visiting Artists should be prepared to execute their project independently. UBC’s Okanagan Campus is a 30-minute drive away from Woodhaven and features resources that may be available, such as a staffed woodshop and metal shop (use of these spaces does require safety training and must be completed with one of our studio technicians). Bookings must be made in advance. Transportation will be the artist’s responsibility if use of these spaces is needed. 

This residency includes accommodation in a large two-bedroom home located at the Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre as well as full use of a studio on the property. 

  
The successful applicant will be paid $7000\.

Open Call for Large Scale Installations + Sculpture

We are excited to announce an open call for submissions to _"Strip / Shift,"_ an upcoming art exhibition in Berlin in April 2025 **for Berlin-based artists.** As artists focused on social issues, empowerment, and marginalised communities, your voices are crucial to this exploration of the nuanced realities of stigmatised professions like stripping and sex work. This exhibition will challenge societal perceptions, foster critical dialogue, and amplify your voices.

**Concept & Objective**

_Strip / Shift_ seeks to examine societal attitudes towards marginalised and misunderstood professions. With a dual focus, the exhibition will explore:

1. **Choice vs. Coercion**: When these professions are freely chosen, how can society embrace and respect them? When they are forced due to economic or social pressures, what can be done to prevent exploitation and provide support?
2. **Empowerment & Misogyny**: As artists, we invite you to explore why such roles face heavy stigmatisation in an era that claims to be increasingly sex-positive. Your works can help us understand and challenge these societal attitudes.
3. **Trans Narratives**: Highlighting the unique struggles, fears, and resilience of trans sex workers within these spaces.

Through photography, video art, and performance, _Strip / Shift_ aims to challenge stereotypes, raise awareness of systemic issues, and advocate for dignity and rights for workers in these fields.

**Submission Guidelines**

We are seeking works in the following mediums:

1. **Photography**: Projects that visually narrate empowerment, struggle, or societal perceptions.
2. **Video Art**: Explorations of stigma, identity, and the duality of choice versus coercion.
3. **Performance Art**: Live or recorded performances addressing empowerment, misogyny, and resilience.

**Themes to Explore**

1. Female empowerment
2. Societal perceptions of stripping and sex work
3. Misogyny within these industries
4. Struggle and fear of trans sex workers
5. The balance between choice and coercion

**Details & Deadline**

1. **Exhibition Dates**: to be announced
2. **Venue**: Berlin, in a strip club setting during closing hours
3. **Duration**: One week
4. **Deadline for Submissions**: 15.03.2025

**How to Submit**

  
Please send us your submission using the online form

  
with the subject line: "Strip / Shift Open Call Submission." Include the following:

1. Artist statement (max. 300 words)
2. Description of the submitted work (title, medium, year, size, price and how it connects to the themes)
3. High-res images or links to your work (for video or performance submissions) (please name each image or link)
4. Bio (min. 200 words)
5. CV (optional)

We welcome submissions from both emerging and established artists. This exhibition is a platform for amplifying voices, breaking down stigmas, and sparking change.

Let's strip away assumptions and shift perspectives together.

**About Shandaken: Storm King**

 Shandaken: Storm King is a free, process-focused residency that is collaboratively produced by Shandaken Projects and Storm King Art Center, and that takes place at Storm King. Each resident is given a private bedroom and a private, 9-by-14-foot studio for 2 or 4 weeks each. The studios do not have electricity: all corded tools must be used in a group work space attached to the house.

  
**The residency**

The 2024 residency season will take place June 16 through October 5\. It is open to cultural practitioners internationally (however please note that travel costs are not provided for).

Residents of this program stay in a four-bedroom house. Private studios, each a discrete building, are nestled into the surrounding landscape within walking distance from the house. Although the house and studios are technically located on the grounds of Storm King Art Center, visitors to Storm King are permitted to access the residency only by special invitation of residents themselves.

Shandaken: Storm King residencies are meant to facilitate experimentation, process, research, or production by providing space and time for residents to do as they wish—but we ask that residents bring or buy their own materials.

Residents are offered unique opportunities to visit Storm King's grounds, see its collection, and get to know its staff.

If you are chosen to participate, your residency will be completely free, however at present we are unable to offer travel reimbursement, nor offer any stipend.

  
**Facilities and accommodations**

 In 2025, residents are housed together, in private bedrooms, with a shared bathroom and a live-in facilities manager.

The program provides a basic kitchen setup, food staples, a private studio, and utilities. Some basic tools, primarily hand tools and small power tools for woodworking, are also available. Candidates may inquire for details about what is on offer, if this will affect whether or not you apply. All utilities are centralized in the house: the studios do not have electricity.

There are pre-scheduled trips into nearby Newburgh, so that residents without a means of transportation can purchase supplies. Tours of Storm King, studio visits, and other engagements with the public or Shandaken and Storm King staff are offered on an opt-in basis.
