Book Arts Residency Opportunity- Asheville, NC
Interlude Edition's Artist in Residence Program
Interlude Editions was established in 2007 to provide residencies of up to three months to artists working in the field of the book arts who wish to create limited editions of artists’ books and fine prints for education, exhibition, and distribution. Residencies take place at Asheville BookWorks (www.ashevillebookworks.com), a community resource center for print and book arts in Asheville, North Carolina. Interlude Editions provides Resident Artists with studio space and use of equipment at BookWorks, as well as a small stipend of up to $1000 to facilitate their work.
Residency Opportunities: Residencies are available to emerging, mid-career, and established artists. Collaborators (for example, a book artist and a writer) may be accepted for residencies. However, each collaborator must submit a separate application together with a joint project proposal.
Residency Periods: From 2 weeks to 12 weeks
Spring Session: February – May
Summer Session: June – August
