ArtCenter/South Florida Studio Residency Program - Summer 2015

ArtCenter/South Florida's Studio Residency Program is ideal for artists committed to experimentation and innovation, seeking artistic and professional development, and interested in being part of a dynamic community of local, national, and international artists and creative thinkers. For a period of six months up to two years, artists are granted partially-subsidized studios at ArtCenter's Miami Beach campus located on Lincoln Road in South Beach, offering a unique residency experience in an urban, tropical setting.

The program includes 17 partially-subsidized workspaces ranging from 175 to 600 square feet, with studio rents currently charged at $9.00 per square foot annually. Monthly rents range from $260-$700 on average, with additional charges for common area fees, energy surcharge, and 7% sales tax. Residents receive 24-hour building access, Wi-Fi access, access to the PRINTshop facility during open lab hours, and participation in Studio Crawls held on the first Wednesday of each month. The program offers extensive exhibition opportunities in South Florida and national and international venues, professional development including studio visits with curators, Fieldwork peer critique sessions, and workshops on proposal writing, artist statements, and budgeting. Teaching opportunities are available for artists with previous teaching experience.

Eligibility requires working professional artists with deep commitment to their practice, currently based in the US or abroad, and not enrolled in an academic program. Alumni artists are eligible but priority is given to artists who have never had a studio residency at ArtCenter. Selection is based on merit of past work, readiness to engage with the program, and potential to develop an innovative creative practice. The application requires submission of 8-10 images of recent work, artist statement, CV or resume, three references, and a $40 processing fee. Finalists are invited for a 30-minute in-person, phone, or videoconference interview. Entry deadline: 8/31/15 at 11:59 p.m. MDT.
