BCA’S ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM
BRECKENRIDGE, CO
DEADLINE: 9/1/23
Breck Create’s Artist-in-Residence program offers regional and national artists of all disciplines an opportunity to focus on process rather than product while engaging with the local community in a meaningful way.
Artists-in-Residence spend 2-4 months in a live/work studio in the Breckenridge Arts District, an intimate campus of historic structures nestled under majestic snow-capped peaks in cozy downtown Breckenridge. During the school year, artists serve as guest instructors in Summit County schools, providing support and supplemental curriculum to teachers. In the summertime, artists identify and collaborate with a community partner or organization on educational programs. Artists have ample time to explore place-based narratives in their own work—whether that means interpreting Breckenridge’s cultural environment, spectacular mountain setting or rich local history.
Artist expectations include: facilitating two weekly open studios (on campus), instructing weekly lessons in schools and on campus, participating in on-campus public events, and collaborating with a community partner. Artists with teaching experience will be given priority.
Artists receive a biweekly stipend of $600 to cover expenses and may take classes and open studios at no cost based on availability.

Creative Reuse is well known as a vital resource for Pittsburgh’s art community. Artwork incorporating materials provided by Creative Reuse has been featured in the Pittsburgh Biennial, Emerging Artist of the Year exhibitions, installations commissioned for the Three Rivers Arts Festival, and many, many gallery shows and pop-up exhibitions throughout the Pittsburgh region and beyond. In addition to our everyday support of artists through our retail shop and Project Sponsorships, we also support one artist a year with our Artist in Residence program, and several others through our gallery program.
Past gallery shows have featured sculpture, found material collage, fiber art, and assemblage, and more. The themes of the work vary but often speak to environmental and social issues that affect our communities. Many artists relate strongly to the Creative Reuse vision of creating an accessible and welcoming art gallery for neighbors and community members who otherwise may not have easy access to galleries and museums. At our location at the intersection of Homewood, Wilkinsburg, and Point Breeze, we are grateful for the opportunity to promote artists and engage community members through our Artist in Residence and gallery program.

RESIDENCE 1 + 2 - PHOTOGRAPHY & SCIENCE
TOULOUSE, FR
DEADLINE: 9/10/23
At the initiative of Philippe Guionie, the 1+2 Residence has been since the end of 2015 a festival of creative residencies associating photography and science, anchored in Toulouse and Occitania, with a European vocation. Supported in its research by academic (University of Toulouse) and scientific institutions (CNRS Occitanie Ouest, Muséum d'Histoire naturelle de Toulouse, Cité de l'espace, etc.) and researchers based in Toulouse and its metropolis, as well as in Occitania, each resident creates a personal and unprecedented work. He is also accompanied by a godfather and a godmother belonging to the world of photography and science. By combining photography and science, the 1+2 Residence produces, values and promotes author photography in close links with the exceptional scientific heritage of the territories.
The photographic creations are presented in October and November, on several different supports including a series of exhibitions and a box set composed of three books published by Éditions Filigranes within the Toulouse collection. An inaugural week is organized around the National Colloquium - Photography & Sciences where photographers, scientists, godfather and godmother, journalists and audiences exchange during thematic round tables. The 1+2 Residence thus stimulates a common societal reflection, in a collective dynamic involving all audiences.

S+T+ARTS AIR
DEADLINE: 9/22/23
(EU ARTISTS)
S+T+ARTS AIR launches a new S+T+ARTS residencies programme focused on two main themes: Resilient interspecies urban ecosystems and Human AI Ecosystems, presenting a unique opportunity for artists to collaborate at the intersection of art, science, and technology.
Air extends beyond the invisible substance we breathe. It encompasses both visible and invisible elements, complementing our senses and connecting us to our surroundings. It acts as a warning system, heightening our perception of danger and evoking deep emotions through scent. Air enables the existence of sound and has a tactile connection to our body, particularly our hair and skin.
Air played a vital role in verbal communication, language development, and logical thinking, laying the groundwork for scientific and technological progress. This dynamic has allowed humans to translate intricate processes into symbolic representations, making the unseen visible. Through the integration of science, technology, and art, we aim to create challenges that bridge these realms of knowledge, fostering a deeper understanding of the diverse realities and concepts intertwined with the air.
We invite creative and experienced artists to participate in the S+T+ARTS AIR Residencies, which deepen the multifaceted nature of AIR and its profound significance in our lives.
For artists interested in joining AIR as a resident artist, the project consortium offers access to the technologies and know-how of two of Europe’s leading supercomputing centers (HLRS in Stuttgart and BSC in Barcelona), SONY Computer Science Laboratories in Rome, HEKA lab & KUBER in Koper, Slovenia, and the artistic expert organizations Fundación ÉPICA La Fura dels Baus from Badalona, Media Solutions Center (MSC) from Stuttgart, In4Art from Rotterdam and RCR Architects from Barcelona.
In this way, AIR is born from the will of 8 organizations from 5 different countries belonging to different fields of knowledge – technology, research, industry, and culture – to establish new methodologies, processes, indicators and seeks artists to collaborate with them.
