Fine Arts Work Center Visual Arts Fellowship
Deadline: February 1, 2012 (ONLINE) and (ONGOING)
Visual Arts Fellowship
Fine Arts Work Center Fellowships
Fine Arts Work Center
Provincetown, Massachusetts
2012-2013
The Fine Arts Work Center offers a unique residency for writers and visual artists in the crucial early stages of their careers. Located in Provincetown, Massachusetts, an area with a long history as an arts colony, the Work Center provides seven-month Fellowships to twenty Fellows each year in the form of living/work space and a modest monthly stipend. Residencies run from October 1 through May 1. Fellows have the opportunity to pursue their work independently in a diverse and supportive community of peers. A historic fishing port, Provincetown is situated at the tip of Cape Cod in an area of spectacular natural beauty, surrounded by miles of dunes and National Seashore beaches.
Eligibility
The Fellowship is open to all emerging visual artists creating two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and time-based media work. Applicants are judged on the quality of their work and not on previous exhibition experience, resumes, recommendations or the like. The jury disqualifies applicants it deems to be already emerged—e.g., those who have had high-profile solo exhibitions, or have been in significant group exhibitions such as biennials.

From December 29, 2011 - March 18, 2012, CoCA will present its 22nd annual juried exhibition seeking work from emerging as well as established artists in a wide variety of visual media. While there is no theme this year as such, we're hunting for work that experiments and explores in general, crossing disciplinary boundaries, challenging established notions of time and space, cultural production, and the objet d'art itself.
CoCA has presented the Annual since 1989, each time inviting an independent juror to select the work from among the entries received. For this year's 22nd anniversary of the show, CoCA is proud to have Gary Hill as juror.
Artists in any region and any country are welcome to submit. Two-dimensional, three-dimensional and multi-media work will be considered. A $500 first prize and a $250 second prize will be awarded by the juror, as well as up to two "honorable mentions" featured on CoCA's website. A catalog of the show will feature artists' statements, biographies, and images, as well as an introductory essay by Gary Hill. In addition to having all participating artists archived on CoCA's website, there will also be an opportunity to place work in CoCA's new online store.
Entry Fee: $15 (US) (PayPal)
