2020 Stuart Artist-in-Residence at South Dakota State University

The Stuart Artist-in-Residence program at South Dakota State University's School of Design invites visual artists working in any discipline, including interdisciplinary approaches, to apply for a 4-week residency from September 14-October 9, 2020. The program provides a $2,500 honorarium and is open to artists nationally, with particular encouragement for artists residing and working outside the South Dakota region.

The residency provides 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 furnished and equipped apartment within walking distance from the studio is also provided. 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 their project development with students, faculty, and the regional arts community. 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 artist will be required to give a public lecture and participate in an open studio event and/or exhibition in the School of Design Ritz Gallery.

Applications must include a one-page residency project intent statement describing the 4-week plan to develop/produce artwork independently, a resume not exceeding three pages, a list of three professional references, and 10 images of completed artwork or images relevant to the project intent. For audio and/or video work, provide web-link information within the resume. The entry fee is $18.00. Artist responsibilities include transportation, shipping, materials, supplies, meals, and personal expenses. Applications close March 17, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time.
