Entangled: A Fiber Exhibition
Some Things Looming
Reading, PA
September 12, 2015 to October 24, 2015
Our daily lives are complex and miraculous. There is an ever expanding interconnectedness that we have with one another in both our private and public lives. This interconnectedness can also feel overwhelming and pressure-filled. Communications can be ‘jumbled’ and misunderstood in a text ‘thread’, for example. Our relationships are complicated- family, friend, foe. ‘some things looming’ invites artists to connect with our audience as they interpret “Entangled” utilizing fiber techniques.
Rules for Entering: (truncated)
All work must be original, one-of a- kind, made by the artist submitting the entry.
Artists may submit up to a maximum of three, completed within the last three years, to be in the exhibition.

Entangled: A Fiber Exhibition
Some Things Looming
Reading, PA
September 12, 2015 to October 24, 2015
Our daily lives are complex and miraculous. There is an ever expanding interconnectedness that we have with one another in both our private and public lives. This interconnectedness can also feel overwhelming and pressure-filled. Communications can be ‘jumbled’ and misunderstood in a text ‘thread’, for example. Our relationships are complicated- family, friend, foe. ‘some things looming’ invites artists to connect with our audience as they interpret “Entangled” utilizing fiber techniques.

Mendocino Art Center Artists in Residence Program
Deadline: April 10, 2015 {POSTMARK}
Artists in Residence Program
Mendocino Art Center
Mendocino, CA
October 1, 2015 to May 15, 2016
The Artists in Residence (AIR) program provides a community-based environment that facilitates both educational and individual artistic growth at the Mendocino Art Center (MAC).
The AIR program was developed to bring emerging and established artists to this unique Northern California region. It provides both time and space for AIRs to develop their work.
Qualifications:
The program welcomes self-motivated, focused individuals working in traditional or nontraditional studio arts, and independent creative endeavors, from mixed media to writing.
Applicants should hold a BA, BFA, MFA or life equivalency representing an established foundation of knowledge and body of work in their respective discipline. The primary basis for selection is the strength and quality of the applicant’s work.
Artist residents must also have a clear objective for the time of their residency and be willing to live and work as part of a close-knit community. A successful residency depends in part on expectations consistent with what MAC has to offer. Applicants with no prior connection to MAC are strongly encouraged to visit or take a class before applying for the program. It is also advised to contact the Coordinator specific to your studio practice or the Education Director for an independent type residency.
MAC Artists in Residence may re-apply for a second year residency.
Studios:
The Art Center has studios dedicated to Fine Art, Textiles, Ceramics (electric, gas, atmospheric and wood kilns) Jewelry, Sculpture/Blacksmithing and a small foundry. We welcome artists in other areas, including writing, music, photography and video. Depending on the field of endeavor and the number of AIRs, studio space may be shared with other artists. Residents will be responsible for purchase of their own materials and fuel consumption based on departmental pricings. Studio facilities fees are included in the monthly housing rates.
Application Fee: $30 non-refundable

Artist-In-Residence Program
Southeast Arizona Group
National Park Service
U.S. Department of the Interior
Chiricahua National Monument
Arizona
2015 Season
Artists have had a long-standing impact on the formations, expansion, and direction of our national parks.
Today, painters continue to document national park landscapes with contemporary approaches and techniques. Writers, photographers, sculptors, musicians, composers, and other performing artists also draw upon the multifaceted quality of parks for inspiration.
These artists translate the national park’s purpose, as a place of pleasure and preservation, into images which bring others enjoyment and a deeper understanding of the parks many Americans may never visit.
Chiricahua National Monument’s Artist-In-Residence program continues this tradition.
Artist-In-Residence Program
The Artist-In-Residence program at Chiricahua National Monument offers professional writers, composers, and visual and performing artists the opportunity to pursue their artistic discipline while being surrounded by the park’s inspiring landscape. Selected artists are given free accommodations for two to four week periods. No stipend is provided.
How to Apply
Artists must submit application materials and art samples exactly as indicated on the entry form. Insufficient, or excess materials, are causes for application rejection, as is an artist’s proposed use of a work already in progress as a residency project.
The Selection Process
A panel of professionals from diverse artistic disciplines will choose two to three finalists, with an alternate. Selection is based on artistic merit, the Statement of Purpose, and appropriateness to a national park residency.

Sleeping Bear Dunes Artist-In-Residence Program
Deadline: April 15, 2015 {POSTMARK} or {HAND DELIVERY}
Artist-In-Residence Program
Sleeping Bear Dunes
Empire, Michigan
September and October, 2015
Since 1993, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore has hosted an Artist-in-Residence program. Artists have had a long-standing influence on the formation, expansion, and direction of our national parks.
The Artist-In-Residence program is open to professional American writers, composers and visual artists, including photographers, whose work can be influenced and enhanced by this superb Michigan scene. It provides resident artists the opportunity to capture the moods of Sleeping Bear Dunes in their particular medium. The program provides rent-free use of either a park house located in the vicinity of the village of Empire (no pets), or a campsite in one of the developed mainland campgrounds.
Two 3-week residencies are available during September and October. The artist is asked to donate to the park an original piece of work representative of their medium, produced during the residency, and to contribute to the advancement of the park's mission. This is done by sharing knowledge with the public during the final week of the residency through a demonstration, reading, slide talk, etc. In addition, the artist must be willing to interact with park visitors when contacts are made in the field while working. Donated works will be displayed in the park or shared with the public through other appropriate means. These works will characterize the Lakeshore for present and future generations.
Offering the public an opportunity to experience our national heritage through the eyes, ears and talents of the contributing artists fulfills one of the program's main purposes. The artist will be enrolled in the Volunteers In Park (VIP) Program of the National Park Service.

September and October, 2015
Since 1993, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore has hosted an Artist-in-Residence program. Artists have had a long-standing influence on the formation, expansion, and direction of our national parks.
The Artist-In-Residence program is open to professional American writers, composers and visual artists, including photographers, whose work can be influenced and enhanced by this superb Michigan scene. It provides resident artists the opportunity to capture the moods of Sleeping Bear Dunes in their particular medium. The program provides rent-free use of either a park house located in the vicinity of the village of Empire (no pets), or a campsite in one of the developed mainland campgrounds.
Two 3-week residencies are available during September and October. The artist is asked to donate to the park an original piece of work representative of their medium, produced during the residency, and to contribute to the advancement of the park's mission. This is done by sharing knowledge with the public during the final week of the residency through a demonstration, reading, slide talk, etc. In addition, the artist must be willing to interact with park visitors when contacts are made in the field while working. Donated works will be displayed in the park or shared with the public through other appropriate means. These works will characterize the Lakeshore for present and future generations.
Offering the public an opportunity to experience our national heritage through the eyes, ears and talents of the contributing artists fulfills one of the program's main purposes. The artist will be enrolled in the Volunteers In Park (VIP) Program of the National Park Service.
