2014 Winter/Spring Residencies at Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts

The artist residency program at Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts offers two sessions per year with programs of two, four, or six weeks, depending on availability and the applicant's ranking in the jury process. Preference will be given to four-week requests. The Winter/Spring artist retreats run from January through May with an application deadline of September 15 of the previous year. The Summer/Fall session runs from June through November with an application deadline of March 15 of the same year.

A blind jury will rank residents based on work samples provided with the application. Visual artists (including drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, installation, new media, and video) should provide 10-20 images or a short video. Language arts applicants (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and scientific writing) should include no more than 20 pages of material. Musicians and composers should provide two scores and two music files for listening. Selected artists will receive housing, most meals, exclusive studio access, and use of the library, lounge, and kitchen, located in a meadow along the riparian corridor of Brush Creek. Residents are responsible for all supplies and transportation to Brush Creek Ranch or Laramie/Laramie Regional Airport.

Applicants must provide work samples formatted to CAFE standards, a CV or resume, an artist statement and project description, and contact information for two individuals capable of providing character references. The entry fee is $30.00. International applicants are eligible.
