Bunnell Street Arts Center: Old Town Artist in Residence

Old Town AIR is an Artist In Residence program presented by Bunnell Street Arts Center for visiting artists from Alaska and the United States. The program aims to galvanize the community around Homer's Old Town neighborhood through the creation and presentation of artwork that activates the Arts Center's space and surrounding outdoor neighborhood sites. Old Town AIR seeks artist-led projects featuring community engagement and neighborhood change through art such as murals, poetry, landscape design, dance, painting, theater, installation, creative writing, ephemeral art or sculpture at the arts center and neighborhood sites including Bishop's Beach, Bishop's Beach Park, neighborhood trails and roads.

One-month residencies run February through June 2014 and include a $3,000 stipend plus up to $1,000 in project expenses (submit receipts), lodging in a private room with shared bath and shared kitchen and living facilities above the Arts Center, and round trip coach airfare to Homer, Alaska. Applicants must submit a $25 application fee, one-page statement of intent, one-page resume, materials budget, and five work samples by December 1, 2013 at 11:59 p.m. MST. Residency awards will be announced by January 1, 2014.
