Bullseye Projects Artist Residency: June-December 2017

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, artist groups, designers, and architects and provide extended (up to three months) access to facilities as well as a materials budget. Resource Center Residencies are available to current residents of the region; applications are accepted biannually for Winter/Spring and Summer/Fall openings. Artists are responsible for food, travel, housing and other expenses.

Bullseye Studio residencies at the Portland factory are open to regional, national, and international artists, artist groups, designers, and architects. 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. 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. A panel comprised of Bullseye staff, fellow artists, and art professionals chooses multiple 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.

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. 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 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. Entry fee: $15.00. Work samples required: 5-12 images and 0-2 videos.
