John Michael Kohler Arts Center: Arts/Industry and Joint Corning/Kohler Residency 2017

Apply for the John Michael Kohler Arts Center's world-renowned Arts/Industry residency program. The Arts/Industry residency program is open to emerging and established artists working in any discipline. Up to sixteen exceptional artists from around the world are chosen each year for two- to six-month residencies that give them access to the Foundry (cast iron/brass) or Pottery (slip-casting) in Kohler Co.'s Kohler, Wisconsin plant. The program provides 24/7 access to industrial studios, technical assistance, time to explore new ideas and techniques, free housing, round-trip transportation, professional photography services, materials, use of industrial equipment, and a modest stipend.

The Joint Corning/Kohler residency program is open to emerging and established artists. Training in ceramics or metal sculpture is not required, but artists must have experience working with glass and be capable of quickly mastering the industrial technologies. Artists-in-residence spend one month at The Corning Museum Studio and two–six months in Kohler Co.'s Foundry or Pottery. Successful Joint residency proposals will incorporate a unified project using the resources available at both institutions.

Applicants must submit 20 images. The program is open to international artists. For more information and a link to the program brochure, visit the Residency pages on the Arts Center's website at www.jmkac.org.
