Summer Residency: March 15, 2024 (ONLINE)
6th Street Studios & Art Center
Artist in Residence
Gilroy, CA
Duration: Summer & Spring: 6 Weeks - 3 Months (Artist's Choice)
We believe the hallmarks of an ideal resident artist include: proficiency in their selected area(s), comfort with community engagement, self-motivation, and a strong sense of creative direction. The residencies are open to all professional and emerging artists, age 18 and over, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, marital status, or physical or mental disability. Open to Artists of any discipline.
Space for an end-of-residency exhibition and reception for the artist provided.
Online exhibition of work produced during residency (if desired).
Artists will have the opportunity to plan and create paid workshop opportunities during their residency. Artists who are residents during the spring/summer can apply to be a paid teaching artist during our Art Camps. This is a required part of the residency. The hourly rate is $25/hr. You can also choose to offer free classes/workshops.
Artists will be put in touch with local press, and other media outlets to discuss their residency.
Third Friday Artwalks organized by 6th Street provide an unparalleled opportunity for residents to engage with the public not only at the Studios but anywhere on the artwork in downtown, opening up limitless ideas for interactive art projects.
Artists are required to host open studios one (1) day a week:
Wed 1-5 PM, Thurs 2-5 PM, Fri 10-6 PM, or Sat 11-3 PM.
We encourage artists to involve the downtown community in their project(s). The front exhibition area, where the studio is located, is open to the public on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 10-2pm. This provides the artist a unique opportunity to interact and share with the public.
