Jazz Gallery Center for the Arts Latchkey Artist Residency — Call For Applicants!
Deadline April 10, 2015
The Jazz Gallery Center for the Arts Latchkey Artist Residency objective is to provide artists with needed studio space, artistic support, and the opportunity for a Gallery exhibition. The Jazz Gallery welcomes artists to use the Gallery studio space for a period of 3 months. This Residency provides artists an alternative learning opportunity to engage with practicing artists and make lasting connections across the city. Therefore, the ideal candidate must value collaboration, have good social and communication skills and be interested in generating creative partnerships across disciplines. The purpose of the JGCA Residency is to foster an atmosphere of inventive and creative activity that extends throughout the Milwaukee community.
The artist will use the provided space for their sole studio work and agree to be present in the gallery 12 hours a week, broken into 2-3 consistent periods of time to be arranged with Jazz Gallery Staff. For the duration of the residency, the Artist must be willing to give an artist talk on their studio practice and have an exhibition of work completed during their time at the Jazz Gallery. We are happy to collaborate on projects and/or assist with building/installing of work. Artists are also encouraged to create educational outreach or artist workshops, performances and other forms of public engagement during their time at the Jazz Gallery.
Alice Waraxa is our inaugural Artist in Residence. Alice brings a strong commitment to the community through her artwork and is presently the editor at the Riverwest Currents.
