2021 Basel Miami Art Residency

Update 10.05.2021: This residency has been cancelled for personal reasons. All applicants will receive full refunds.

Original Description:

This residency provides full access to an art studio in Coconut Grove with a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and creative workspace surrounded by a lush green garden. The studio is located 15 minutes from downtown Miami with easy access to public transportation. Participants can use the studio for an open house to share their work.

The residency runs for 4 weeks, starting November 15, 2021, two weeks before Art Basel Miami week begins. During this time, participants experience the Wynwood graffiti scene, pop-up galleries in empty storefronts, and the arrival of Art Miami and Art Basel, which brings hundreds of private planes, gallery professionals, art handlers, and collectors to the city. The studio provides shelter from the exhibition hustle, allowing time to recharge and process impressions.

Eligibility is open to artists from a wide variety of disciplines, including visual art (two and three-dimensional, photography, sculpture, painting, textiles, drawing, collage), printmaking, film (documentary, fictional, or art), writing (poetry, fiction, essays, storytelling, playwriting), indigenous arts, ethnographic fine art, new media, social practice, and interdisciplinary arts. Entry fee is $35.00. Applicants must submit 6-7 images.
