Lucid Art Residency Program 2019

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." The Ark was built in 1960 and was a former studio of the painter Gordon Onslow Ford and mixed media artist Fariba Bogzaran. A print shop with a Sturges press is available for use by artists who are experienced printmakers; only water-based mediums may be used on the press.

During the residency, artists have the opportunity to meet and dialogue with a Lucid Art faculty member who will give feedback on work created during the residency. Artists will have access to the Foundation's extensive Library Resource Center, which contains books by many modern, surrealist, and contemporary artists, including Roberto Matta, Gordon Onslow Ford, Wolfgang Paalen, Remedios Varo, John Anderson, Lee Mullican, and Morris Graves.

Entry fee is $40.00. Visual artists must submit ten images of work created within the last two years and one video (max 60 mb) or one audio file (max 30 mb) from the last two years. New Genre applicants should provide a link to their website for additional access to video and/or audio files in the Project Proposal section of the application.
