The Connecticut River Artisan Group is pleased to announce its Open Call for the 2024 Residency Program. This artist residency is located in the beautiful Great North Woods region of New Hampshire. Just 16 miles from the Canadian border this location offers myriad natural vistas, forests, trails and spectacular landscapes to offer inspiration for works of art.
During the residency the artist will be encouraged to explore new ideas and concepts, mediums and techniques in uninterrupted work time. You will be asked to develop two or more interactive workshops/classes that will involve the public in the creative process. Arts talks and presentations are a wonderful way to engage the public.
As part of the residency the artist will be asked to donate one work of art and reproduction rights to the Connecticut River Artisan Group. In addition to this donation the artist is expected to exhibit their work as a culmination of work created during their residency in a local exhibition space. This will include a document that addresses how the artist was inspired by the region, its people and events to create work that exhibits exploration and growth. An artist’s statement about the work will be included in the exhibition.
This is a two-month residency to take place during July and August, 2024. There is some flexibility with the date selection. The chosen artist will be provided lodging and studio space. A $2000 stipend will be awarded. Deadline to apply is May 15, 2024. Artists will be notified of the final decision by May 30, 2024.
While pursuing their art, the Artist in Residence will need to follow state and local regulations. The Artist in Residence will be expected to sign a volunteer agreement and liability agreement with the Connecticut River Artisan Group. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age and have access to their own transportation. For more information please contact Nancy Smith at (603) 237-4235 or [email protected].
