The musée du quai Branly Photography Residencies

The Photography Residencies program gives every year one or several photographers – native from one of the four continents represented in the collection of the musée du quai Branly – the chance to develop an innovative work, in coherence with their personal aesthetic path.

The musée du quai Branly Photography Residencies benefit to the support and enhancement of an artistic expression barely visible in France, by financing part or all of a creative project. The photographic works produced as part as this program are intended to enrich the museum’s collections at the end of every residency period. Thus, they contribute to the constitution of the contemporary photographic collection of the museum.

Simultaneously a museum, a cultural center, and a place for research and teaching, the musée du quai Branly was born from the political desire to highlight non-European cultures, in the heart of Paris. The museum gathers a collection of 300 000 objects, a considerable collection of graphic art and a photographic collection composed of more than 700 000 pieces. The museum’s policy is based on a dynamic and opened proposal: “where cultures meet in dialogue.” This idea is the driving force behind most of the Museum’s lines of action: cultural programming, disseminating and sharing knowledge and expertise with the cultures originating the collections, international cooperation, and making the collections available to others.

Open Call for 2016 Artist-in-Residence Program at Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska

Since 2001, a total of 60 accomplished artists, writers, and composers have participated in the Artist-in-Residence program at Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska. Following a 10-day residency, each volunteers to lead a public outreach activity with visitors and to donate one piece of finished artwork to the program collection. For a two-year trial period beginning with this open call for residencies in 2016, the program will explore a preference for digital and performance-based donations rather than physical pieces for the program collection. Artists are challenged to create artwork and activities for visitors that offer a fresh and innovative perspective of the park drawn from their own experience. 


Guiding Principles

The program seeks qualified and accomplished artists, writers, and composers with demonstrated achievement in creating pieces that are both high in artistic merit and accessible for general audiences.

The music composition residency established with this call for 2016 draws upon successful foundations in Composing in the Wilderness and Denali Music Festival programs which emphasize contemporary classical music. The final product should be a notated chamber piece for traditional instruments found in classical orchestral repertoire (with optional use of electronics and/or projection).  The park hopes that the completed piece will be premiered at the Denali Music Festival in a subsequent year, and the selected composer will consult with park staff to ensure that the instrumentation and technical requirements are appropriate for that setting.

Within this general framework, there are no stylistic requirements.


The residency experience and expectations

All residents must provide their own transportation to and from the park, as well as any supplies, provisions, clothing, and outdoor gear for the duration of their stay. No stipend is provided. Each resident may bring one adult guest to stay within accommodations provided. Residents must have a valid driver's license and be willing and able to drive according to prescribed “Rules of the Road.”


Winter (one writer, one artist)

Depending on weather conditions, each winter resident may spend as many as four nights at the historic Upper Savage Cabin near Mile 13 of the Denali Park Road. Please be prepared for extreme winter conditions. There is no electricity or running water. There is an outhouse nearby, a small wood stove for heat, and a propane stove for cooking. A double bed, bedding, and an arctic sleeping bag are provided.

The remaining six nights of a winter residency are based in shared, apartment-style housing at Park Headquarters near Mile 3.4 of the Park Road. Winter residency dates are intended to overlap so that the two participants can interact and share activities and experiences in the park to the largest extent possible. Please be proactive about expressing your interests for winter activities and experiences with program staff so that arrangements can be made well in advance.


Summer (one writer, one composer, two visual artists)

Summer residencies are scheduled between June and September and are not concurrent. (The music composition residency may have preferential scheduling to coincide with the Denali Music Festival in mid-July each year.) Residencies are based at ranger patrol cabins located in remote settings, but within proximity to the Denali Park Road. Typically, offerings include a 14' x 16' cabin with an outhouse, propane heater, range, oven, and refrigerator, bunks with double beds, bedding, a full complement of cooking equipment, and a small resource library. There is no electricity or running water, but water jugs are replenished regularly by park maintenance staff. Showers, laundry, telephone, and limited access are available at the Toklat Road Camp near Mile 53.

A road pass for private vehicle access is limited to one roundtrip use for driving out to a cabin site, and returning again to the park entrance. Day-to-day transportation within the park is available through passes provided for Visitor Transportation System (VTS) shuttle buses. 

Summer residencies typically begin on a Tuesday morning with arrival, orientation, and safety briefings at Park Headquarters followed by independent travel to the cabin site by afternoon. After a stay of nine nights in the park, on the Thursday morning of the following week, residents return to the park entrance to lead outreach activities at the Denali Visitor Center and to stay one final night in transient housing at Park Headquarters. Checkout and final departure from headquarters occur on Friday morning. 

Typically, summer outreach activities take place at 3 pm on Thursday afternoons using picnic tables in public spaces outside the Denali Visitor Center. Events can last 45 to 90 minutes. The number of participants is usually limited by advance registration, from 12 to 24 participants, as set by resident preference. Residents are each allowed to spend as much as $150 for activity materials and supplies. Please provide receipts for purchases to be reimbursed and ship items to the park, preferably by USPS Flat Rate Priority Mail, well in advance of the residency. 


Donations of artwork to the program collection

All finished pieces are due at the park by December 31 of the calendar year in which the residency takes place. For a two-year trial period beginning in 2016, the program will explore a preference for digital and performance-based donations rather than physical artwork.

Beyond that trial timeframe, future two-dimensional donations should not exceed 48 inches in any dimension and be suitably framed for hanging on wall-track systems in park galleries. Three-dimensional donations that require the purchase of custom display cases may not exceed 24 inches in any dimension. No piece should require permanent installation or structural modification of park facilities.

Composers are asked to donate both a PDF (including score, parts, and program notes) as well as a digital recording of the work, either as a high quality MIDI realization, or as performed by an ensemble.

While program participants retain copyright of donated artwork, they are asked to grant permission without restriction for the program to use and publish artwork (including on NPS websites) for the purposes of interpretation, exhibits, and education.


Welcome to the AiR application process

Applications are accepted only through an online process hosted by CaFÉ (CallForEntry.org). Entries are accepted each year from May 1 through September 30 for residencies during the winter and summer of the following year. Applications submitted after the deadline will not be considered.

Panels including past program participants, subject matter experts, local community members, park personnel, and others serving at the discretion of the park superintendent are invited to review applications from professional artists annually. Selection is made on the basis of required entry materials, vision, new and innovative ways of responding to the park, and recognized accomplishment as demonstrated in those materials. Formal invitations for residencies typically are extended by the park superintendent by December 15 each year, followed by a public announcement of selections early in the new calendar year.

Artists from around the world and representing a range of practices and disciplines are encouraged to apply; including architects, photographers, filmmakers, sound artists, poets, and performance artists to name a few.

The Fellowship will provide an artist with the opportunity to develop a new body of work exploring and engaging with archival, manuscript, and other special collections housed at the Rubenstein Library. Our diverse and unique collections have the potential to inspire a variety of works, from new documentary films and textile designs to installations and theatrical plays.

Fellowships are four weeks in length and include access to research and studio space. Artists will be given the freedom to work with as many (or as few) archival collections as they choose and will have the opportunity to meet with scholars, students, and staff from across the academic disciplines while at Duke. In turn, Visiting Artist Fellows are asked to make themselves available a few hours each week as mentors to Duke students from various disciplines. At the end of the residency, the Rubenstein will host a talk with the artist that will focus on the ways in which archival materials and their conversations across campus have inspired new and innovative approaches to art making. 

Artists applying for the Fellowship will be asked to write an artist's statement outlining their interest in the Fellowship and suggesting possible interdisciplinary opportunities. The selection committee will choose artists whose point of view, choice of media, life experiences, and heritage are varied, reflecting the diversity of materials found in the archives. Although artists will be invited to spend time in the archives, investigate its holdings, and create new work for the fellowship, artists will not be required to use materials from the archives in their new work, instead they will be urged to relate to the collections as sources of inspiration. 

Documentation or examples of work created for the fellowship must be submitted to the Rubenstein within 12 months of the date of the residency. Documentation and surrogates may be preserved and archived in a digital collection that will be hosted by Duke University. 

This grant is made possible through the generous support of Dr. Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel.

The aim of the residency programme is to offer space for in-depth research and focused production time, immersion in new cultural contexts, critical support of international residency communities.

Artists are provided with a private studio, shared living quarters, and meals at no cost, but are responsible for their travel and material expenses. The first week of the residency, artists have the opportunity to work with a master printmaker to produce an edition of monotypes. Tamarind Institute master printmakers, Melissa and Ted Braggins, are owners and printers at Pondside Press, located in nearby Rhinebeck. high quality material is provided: each participating artist is required to donate one print to the printer and one to the Art Omi Collection.

Each session, a distinguished critic/curator is invited to participate as Critic-in-Residence, who leads discussions and makes individual studio visits.

Our Visitors Program enables residents to have conversations with many visiting art critics, gallery owners and prominent artists. Direct engagement with the New York City art world is unmatched by similar residency programs.

The program culminates with Open Studio Day, during which hundreds of professionals, art lovers, neighbors and friends view work, ask questions and engage with the artists.

Artists' Residencies in the Community at Highgreen in rural Northumberland

Artists' Residencies in the Community 2014 and 2015 - Applications are welcome; deadline 6th January 2014
VARC’ is inviting visual artists to apply for twelve-month residencies at Highgreen in rural Northumberland.  The Trust is hoping to appoint two artists from applications submitted; one artist to hold the resdiency staritng 2014 and another artist to hold the residency starting October 2015.
Aims
VARC's primary aims are to:
• Promote interest, awareness and understanding of visual arts in a rural community through engagement with an artist
• Develop visual arts projects in rural communities
• Offer a unique opportunity to an artist wishing to develop his or her practice by working and living in a remote rural community
The Residency
VARC is looking for:

artists who feel that 12 months spent living in an isolated rural location will significantly benefit their practice.  Although the Trust feels that artists who might most benefit are those who have lived in an urban or city environment, artists will be considered regardless of their current location as long as they can explain how this would benefit their practice.  The length of the residency is one year, as this would allow the artist to experience the full cycle of seasons as well as the time for the rural community and environment to have an impact on the work.  However in exceptional circumstances six month residencies are not ruled out.  The aim is to give the artist a unique opportunity to concetrate on his/her practice in a remote setting, away from the constraints of city life.  It is hoped that this experience will have a lasting effect on the artist.
artists who want to be part of a community and who enjoy contact with people.  The resident artist is expected to spend at least 15 days during the year delivering projects.  Planning and preparation time would be extra to these days.  What form this work would take would depend on the artist the nature of his or her work but could include projects with specific groups, open studio days, practical sessions, talks and participation as Artist in Residence in local events.  The Trust hopes that the experience of having a prctising artist living and working in this rural community will offer people an insight into how professional artists work as well as adding an enriching creative element.

Information 
In addition to work in the community the artist  produces a body of work for an end of year exhibition to be held at Highgreen. The artist is contracted to spend a minimum of 22.5 hours per week on work for the exhibition and the community aspects of the residency, but VARC would expect that to fully utilise the opportunity and integrate with the local community, the artist would wish to devote their time fully to the residency. There is a part-time member of staff to support the artist, liaise between the artist and the Trust, arrange community projects in consultation with the artist, promote the artist’s work and the residency, produce the catalogue, help organise the exhibition and facilitate other avenues the artist may wish to pursue. The artist is contracted to provide documentation about the experience of the residency in an agreed format.
Accommodation
The residency is based in converted stable buildings, part of the estate of Highgreen in the North Tyne. Highgreen is remote with stunning views across the moors. There is an immediate community of about 20 people. The hamlet of Greenhaugh with an inn is about three miles away and a mile beyond this at Lanehead there is a village hall. The local shops are in Bellingham, some 10 miles away and Newcastle is 40 miles away. The artist will need to have a car.
There is a 498 sq ft studio for the sole use of the artist, as well as fully-furnished one-bedroomed living accommodation. Heat and light for the studio and flat are included and council tax is paid by VARC. Telephone line rental (including broadband internet access) and printer will be provided but the artist should bring his/her own computer and will pay for phone calls.  
Financial package 
• £9,000 per annum artist’s fee and materials
• Materials and expenses for community projects are paid for separately by VARC
• A catalogue will be produced
• Reasonable costs associated with the exhibition (transport, presentation of work) is paid
• Accommodation (flat and studio) worth £6,000 per annum
• The studio is equipped with basic tools and furniture
Criteria on which shortlisting is carried out is as follows:
• Strength of work
• Need/desire for the opportunity
• Experience of, and enthusiasm for, working with people
• Commitment to living at Highgreen
Final selection of artists is also influenced by the desire to create a balance across media and artistic approach from one year to the next.

Artists working in two or three dimensions in any medium/material as well as those working in new media, land art, installation work etc are welcome to apply.  An exhibition record and a desire to work in community settings are essential.  The artist should have a strong visual language and a commitment to living and working in a secluded rural environment.
