Bullseye Projects Artist Residency: January - June 2020

Bullseye Glass Company offers two types of residencies. Resource Center residencies at Bullseye Resource Centers in Santa Fe, the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and New York are open to artists and artist groups and provide extended (up to three months) access to facilities as well as a materials budget. These residencies are available to current residents of the region; applications are accepted biannually for Winter/Spring and Summer/Fall openings. Bullseye Studio residencies at the Portland factory are open to regional, national, and international artists and artist groups. Factory residencies are for concentrated explorations and can range from 2-4 weeks depending on the parameters of the proposal. Bullseye will provide access to facilities, a materials budget, and, if required, housing. Established and emerging artists from all disciplines are eligible. 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. Applications are accepted biannually for Winter/Spring and Summer/Fall openings.

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. Artists are encouraged to invite their friends, peers, and the local community to visit while they are in residence.

A panel comprised of Bullseye staff, fellow artists, and art professionals selects artists or artist groups for residencies each year. Proposals must be compatible with the available studio tools and space and must accommodate the multi-use nature of Bullseye Resource Centers as well as Bullseye's mission. Accommodations are not available for artists at Resource Centers. Accommodations are available, based on need, at the Portland facility. Residents are not allowed to sleep overnight in the studios. Proposals for artist teams or collaborations must be clearly identified with each artist submitting images and indicating their level of experience; preference is given to artist teams that contain at least one person with extensive training in kiln-glass practices. Entry fee: $15.00. Work sample requirements: 10-12 images, 0-1 audio file, 0-2 video files, 10-15 total samples. Application deadline: September 1st, 11:59 p.m. MDT.
