Lucid Art Residency Program 2018

The Lucid Art Foundation encourages exploration of nonrepresentational art through multimedia, conceptual, ecological, and interdisciplinary approaches. The residency provides a space to live in the former studio of the late writer Jacqueline Johnson and a 650-square-foot art studio called "the Ark," built in 1960 and formerly used by painter Gordon Onslow Ford and mixed media artist Fariba Bogzaran. A print shop with a Sturges press is available for experienced printmakers using only water-based mediums. The Foundation's extensive Library Resource Center contains books by modern, surrealist, and contemporary artists including Roberto Matta, Gordon Onslow Ford, Wolfgang Paalen, Remedios Varo, John Anderson, Lee Mullican, and Morris Graves.

Artists will have the opportunity to explore the practice of lucid art with special emphasis on the integration of art, process, and inner awareness. During the residency, artists will meet and dialogue with a Lucid Art faculty member who will provide feedback on work created during the residency. Artists will have access to the Foundation's Library Resource Center.
