Deadline: May 20, 2011 (RECEIVE)
Creative Residency
PlatteForum
Denver, CO
Residency Period: September 12, 2011 – August 3, 2012
PlatteForum offers unique opportunities for artists to use the facility and adjacent outdoor spaces in dynamic ways, inspired by the urban environment and architecture.
Throughout each residency, the artist uses PlatteForum as their studio for a minimum of 20 hours per week; creates a new body of work or continues on an existing project; dedicates 4- 6 hours each week working with small groups of underserved youth, K-12, in intensive workshops; and allocates additional time each week planning their interaction with the youth. PlatteForum staff supports the artist in the organization and facilitation of the youth workshops. The youth workshops build upon the ideas and forms of the Creative Resident. Each residency culminates in a public reception where the work and ideas of the Creative Resident and the youth are presented in a performance, exhibition or artist talk, depending on the work of the Creative Resident and the youth. A $250/week stipend, living and studio accommodations are provided by PlatteForum as part of the residency. Each Creative Resident’s individual work, and their time with the youth in the workshops make a valuable contribution to the city’s cultural discourse, impacts the lives of the youth, and fosters personal growth of the artist.
CREATIVE RESIDENCY OPTIONS
PlatteForum creates opportunities for artists to expand their work and collaborate with other artists, genres and venues. Our residency season is Sept. 2011–Aug. 2012. Three Creative Residency options are available, each with unique opportunities for the artist. Select which type of residency you prefer. You may select any or all of the different type of residencies.
1. Creative Residency: building on a body of work
The Creative Resident spends the majority of the residency developing a body of work they propose. The Creative Resident devotes a minimum of 20 hours per week at the PlatteForum studio working on their proposed body of work; and 4-6 hours, in addition to planning time, per week with one group of youth. The youth workshops are supported by PlatteForum staff. The resulting works from the artist and youth are presented to the public.
2. Residency Mash-Up: spontaneous combustion
Two artists are selected to be in residence at the same time. PlatteForum will provide a “prompt” or “starting point” to trigger the work. The artists may create work together; in opposition to; and any configuration in-between. The Creative Residents devote a minimum of 20 hours per week at the PlatteForum studio working on their body(ies) of work; and each artist devotes 4-6 hours, in addition to planning time, per week in workshops with youth. The youth workshops are supported by PlatteForum staff. The resulting works from the artists and youth are presented to the public. Do not submit applications as a collaborative team, as PlatteForum will curate the artists for the Residency Mash-Up.
3. Confluence Project: youth and community engagement with PlatteForum + Museum of Contemporary Art Denver (MCA Denver)
The PlatteForum + MCA Denver (www.MCADenver.org) Creative Residency is a shared artist-in-residency program. PlatteForum is the working studio with completed work installed at MCA Denver Fox Family Idea Box. The applying artist should be interested in creating art that is collaborative in making and in the way the audience views and interacts with the installed art. This becomes a dynamic environment for social interaction and hands on activities, evolving as visitors participate. The Creative Resident devotes a minimum of 20 hours per week at the PlatteForum studio working on their body of work; and devotes 4-6 hours, in addition to planning time, per week in workshops with 24+ teens from PlatteForum’s and MCA Denver’s youth programs.
