Bullseye Projects Artist Residency: January - June 2016

Bullseye Glass Co. offers two types of residencies: RC Residencies at Resource Centers in Santa Fe, the Bay Area, and New York, and Bullseye Studio Residencies in Portland, Oregon. RC Residencies are open to regional artists and artist groups and provide extended (up to three months) access to facilities as well as a materials budget. Bullseye Studio Residencies are open to regional, national, and international artists and artist groups. Factory Residencies are for concentrated project-based explorations and can range from 2-4 weeks depending on the parameters of the project. Bullseye will provide access to facilities, a materials budget, and, if required, housing. Residents are responsible for food, travel, and other expenses.

Established and emerging artists from all disciplines are eligible for a residency at Bullseye. Artists with little to no experience with kiln-glass are encouraged to apply, but may be asked to attend a workshop in advance of the residency to familiarize themselves with the studio and kiln-glass methods. Proposals for artist teams or collaborations must be clearly identified and each artist must submit images and indicate their level of experience. Preference is given to artist teams that contain at least one person with extensive training in kiln-glass practices.

Artists are not required to finish a project during their residency, but will share their work, developments, and research with the Bullseye community through notes, blog posts, images, public lectures, studio visits, and various events throughout and closely following the residency. A panel comprised of Bullseye staff, fellow artists, and art professionals chooses 10 artists or artist groups for residencies each year. The entry fee is $15.00. Applicants must submit 10-12 images, up to 1 audio file, and up to 2 video files.
