Residency Program
FugScreens Studios
Chicago, IL
The FugScreens Residency Program provides equipment and space for artists who wish to develop a body of screen-printing work, but lack the resources to do so independently.
Residents have scheduled access to the studio however FugScreens is unable to offer 24 hour access to the facilities due to legal restrictions on the building site. FugScreens staff will also be available to provide guidance and feedback.
Interested persons may fill out an application online. Proposals may be for a traditional edition of screen prints, textile work or a less conventional use of the medium. The resident will be expected to meet periodically (established at the beginning of the Residency) with Zissou Tasseff-Elenkoff, Director of FugScreens to share ideas and works in progress.
At the conclusion or the residency, an optional reception displaying the work will be hosted by Fugscreens Studios. FugScreens hopes to encourage emerging Chicago artists to produce high quality work in a friendly and exciting environment.

HERE Artist Residency Program (HARP)
Deadline: February 3, 2015 {ONLINE}
HERE Artist Residency Program (HARP)
New York, NY
Residencies Begin: April 1, 2015
HARP is designed to support collaboration across disparate art forms by nurturing hybrid artists in the development of dynamic live performances. HARP provides significant long-term artistic, financial, and administrative support, tailored to each artist's individual needs.
SELECTION CRITERIA:
HARP is designed to assist mid-career individual artists or collaborative teams (writers, performers, composers, directors, designers, dramaturgs, puppeteers, dancers, singers) working in a hybrid manner in live performance.
We define a mid-career artist as one who has:
(1) completed their education within the last 8-15 years
(2) had at least a few significant residency or commissioning opportunities,
(3) created a body of work over at least 5 years and at least one full evening-length work, and
(4) earns some income from their art practice.
Artists must also meet the following criteria:
*The artist or team are residents of the NY metro area
*The artist or team find themselves at a crossroads in their career in developing a distinctive form/style/content of work, or is interested in stretching the previously accepted boundaries of their work by experimentation with form/style/content
*The artist or team is interested in actively participating both in the community of HERE and in a peer-based program aimed at exchanging resources, ideas, critique, and support.
*The artist or team should be linked to a specific project that is early in its development process and has secured any rights needed to work with any pre-existing material for the project.
Additionally, HARP believes that diversity is extremely important within the makeup of the residency program. HARP actively seeks this diversity both from the work itself in terms of genre and content, and in the background of the artists.
The selection panel includes HERE leadership, artists, and performing arts curators from NYC.
Funding Resources:
In addition to the extensive range of community, development, and production resources, HERE offers each resident artist a developmental commission, seed funds and workshop fees in order to develop their project. The developmental commission, paid out in monthly installments, ranges up to $5400 for a three year residency.
HERE also provides each artist with an annual seed fund of $1000 and with a fee of $1250-$2000 for a workshop in our annual CULTUREMART festival. All of these funds may be used as each artist deems fit for their individual project. In addition, there are fees for creators and their collaborators in the budget for the final production. The budget is developed jointly by HERE and the artist and HERE allocates at least $20,000 towards the final production in addition to partnering with the artist to raise project-specific funding.

“Fusion”
National Juried Exhibition
Arc Gallery
San Francisco, CA
May 2, 2015 -June 20, 2015
Fusion is the binding of two or more things into something new that possesses properties of both, incorporating different styles, ideas and designs. In a world where boundaries don't exist and technology provides the ability to connect globally, we can create collaborations and build connections that were impossible in the past. Through creative energy, the fusion of ideas can create new forms, blending cultures, colors, ideas, shapes, designs and intent. Fusion can be the melding of art and science, the conscious and unconscious, the tangible and intangible.

Deadline: December 15, 2014 (ONLINE)
Line Describing a Cone: Tri-State Juried Exhibition
Katonah Museum of Art
Beitzel and Righter Galleries
Katonah, New York
January 18 – February 15, 2015
The definition of space is one of the fundamental features of visual representation in twentieth and twenty-first century art. From the oscillating layers of a Cézanne painting to the deep corridors of depth in a de Chirico work, artists have addressed the elements of three dimensions in various and often competing ways. Using film as light cutting through space, contemporary artist Anthony McCall’s work, Line Describing a Cone (1973) inspires this year’s theme; the piece is spatial and temporary, with light the primary medium giving form to an environment.
Artists are invited to explore the meaning of space in their work, using whatever materials and expressive outlets they require. Representing space is but one potential feature; experiencing with works that proclaim their physical relationship to their environment another.
Artists from the tri-state area (NY, NJ, CT) are invited to submit up to three paintings, drawings, prints, mixed media works, sculptures, photographs, or videos for consideration. All work must be executed since 2010.
FEE: Katonah Museum Artists Association (KMAA) members $15, non-members $25. Payments will be securely processed with PayPal and are nonrefundable. All artists are invited to join the Katonah Museum of Art Artists Association.
JUROR
Eva Respini is Curator at The Museum of Modern Art.
AWARDS
Works in all media are eligible for awards.

On the Fringe — Today's Twist on Fiber Art
Deadline: January 30, 2015 (ONLINE)
On the Fringe — Today's Twist on Fiber Art
Special Exhibit
Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts
Lakewood Center for the Arts
Lake Oswego, Oregon
June 26, 27, & 28, 2015
The Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts is announcing the Call to Artists for the 2015 Special Exhibit, entitled On the Fringe — Today’s Twist on Fiber Art.
Fiber art refers to fine art whose material consists of natural or synthetic fiber and other components, such as fabric or yarn. Fiber art focuses on the materials and the artist’s manual labor as part of the works' significance and prioritizes aesthetic value over utility.
Scope of the Exhibit
Much contemporary fiber art exists on the fringes. Is it craft? Is it conceptual? Is it traditional? We often want to fit creative identities into neat little boxes––organized and easy to understand––but we also know that reality does not often conform to that degree of simplicity. At the edges, where there is overlap, there is tension. The exhibit seeks to explore the energy in that tension.
The goals of the exhibit are to capture these currents in fiber arts with works based on traditional techniques, to showcase artistic ingenuity in the handling of materials, to reference historical textile traditions, and to offer a wide variety of fiber media.
We are seeking artwork that is at once forward thinking and traditional: coming from conceptual art practice while rooted in traditional techniques or materials.
Theme
The theme for the Special Exhibit is “On the Fringe” with an emphasis on using the medium of fiber in non-traditional ways. We will celebrate the wide range of today's fiber arts media and highlight the ingenuity with respect for traditional fiber arts, practices, and history.
Eligibility
The exhibit is open to work made with fiber or fiber techniques (including but not exclusive to quilting, embroidery, knitting, crochet, tatting, weaving, spinning, felting) or with elements that reference fiber or fiber traditions.
Makers of wearable art and jewelry, please consider whether Art in the Park is a more suitable venue for your work.
Works Eligible:
◾ All work must be original and created within the last three years.
◾ Maximum length of any side of the finished work is eight (8) feet.
Artwork for the Special Exhibit will be selected based on adherence to the stated theme, originality, personal voice, and technical skill.
Jurors
◾ MaryAnn Deffenbaugh – Director of Public Programs, Oregon College of Art and Craft
◾ Barbara Setsu Pickett – Associate Professor Emeritus, Department of Art, University of Oregon
◾ Sue Stone – Chair and exhibiting member, 62 Group of Textile Artists (UK) and Society of Designer Craftsmen member
