We pose this challenge to our artists: look at New Bedford as a source of inspiration for their work. Possibilities can include, but are not limited to heritage, ecology, identity, and community. This residency is for artists that wish to engage with our visitors, staff, and volunteers. Our residency is a studio residency and does not include housing. Selected artists will have access to a 300 square foot studio, and a wide array of equipment. A full list of the available equipment will be included in the call.
Art should be accessible to all people. It is the artist’s role to act as a catalyst for both inspiration and radical inclusion.
During the residency, artists will offer two programs of any type. The programs can be public workshops, talks, demonstrations, or other outreach. Possibilities range from children’s craft days, to meet and greets over coffee, to Q&A sessions. Park staff are available to help artists brainstorm, help, and install program ideas. The events should occur on AHA! Nights (http://www.ahanewbedford.org/), weekends, or school vacation days. All events will be free and open to the public.
Best of luck!
