2023 Stuart Artist-In-Residence

The Stuart Artist-in-Residence program at South Dakota State University School of Design invites visual artists working in any discipline, including interdisciplinary approaches, to apply for a 4-week residency from September 5–29, 2023. The program provides a $2,500 honorarium and $200 materials stipend. Artists will have 24/7 access to the Ritz Gallery, a 1,200 sq. ft. lockable studio space, and a private furnished apartment within walking distance from the studio. A bike and lock will be provided for use during the residency. The resident studio is located on campus within an academic environment.

The resident artist is expected to maintain a full-time working schedule with an open-door policy and hold a minimum of 8 open studio hours per week. Artists should be willing to discuss their project conceptualization and visual progression with School of Design students, faculty, and the community during open studio hours and public events. The artist will be required to give a public lecture on their artwork and may be asked to visit School of Design class critiques, engage with the South Dakota Art Museum, or participate in brief local interviews. The residency will culminate with an open studio event and/or exhibition featuring the residency project in the Ritz Gallery. It is not intended that the selected artist teach or provide workshops.

Applications are open to international artists. The selection committee especially encourages applications from artists currently residing and working outside and beyond the South Dakota region. Submit applications through www.callforentry.org by April 10, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. MDT. Include a residency project intent statement (one page limit), resume (not exceeding three pages), 3 professional references, and 10 images of completed artwork in PDF format. The residency project intent statement should include the applicant's 4-week plan to develop/produce artwork independently. For audio and/or video, provide web-link information within the resume. Entry fee is $18.00. Artist is responsible for transportation, shipping, materials, supplies, meals, and personal expenses.
