2019 Stuart Artist-in-Residence at South Dakota State University

The School of Design at South Dakota State University is accepting applications for a 4-week artist-in-residence program running September 9-October 4, 2019. This residency is open to visual artists working in any discipline, including interdisciplinary approaches. The selection committee encourages artists whose primary role is to create and develop artwork independently while being willing to discuss their project conceptualization and visual progression with School of Design students, faculty, and the community during studio hours and public events. The residency is not intended to include teaching or workshops.

The selected artist will receive a $2,500 honorarium and 24/7 access to a 1,200 sq. ft. lockable studio space that normally functions as a gallery, located on campus within an academic environment. A private fully equipped one-bedroom apartment located a short walk from the studio is also provided. Use of university equipment and space within teaching studios is limited; applicants should list specific studio furniture and basic equipment needs in their project intent statement.

The resident artist is expected to maintain a full-time working schedule with an open door policy during normal business hours and evening studio art courses to share project development with students, faculty, and the regional arts community. The artist must give a public lecture on their artwork and participate in an open studio event and/or exhibition in the School of Design Ritz Gallery. Transportation, shipping, materials, supplies, meals, and personal expenses are the artist's responsibility. Applications require a one-page residency project intent statement, resume (not exceeding three pages), list of three professional references, and 10 images of completed artwork or images relevant to the project intent. The entry fee is $15.00, and the application deadline is April 2, 2019 at 11:59 p.m. MDT.
