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

The John Michael Kohler Arts Center seeks up to sixteen exceptional artists from around the world for two- to six-month residencies. Artists gain access to the pottery or iron/brass foundry and enamel shop in Kohler Co.'s Kohler, Wisconsin plant. The program provides 24/7 access to industrial studios, staff guidance, free housing, round-trip transportation, professional photography services, materials, use of industrial equipment, and a modest stipend.

The Corning/Kohler residency program is open to emerging and established artists working in any discipline. Artists-in-residence spend one month at The Corning Museum Studio and two–six months in Kohler Co.'s Foundry (casting iron and brass) or Pottery (slip-casting clay). 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. Successful proposals will incorporate a unified project using the resources available at both institutions.

Applicants must submit 20 images. International artists are eligible. The deadline for 2015 residencies is April 1, 2014.
