Torpedo Factory Artist Association: Visiting Artist Program 2017

The Visiting Artist Program is a professional development opportunity for emerging and experienced visual artists, and to expose visitors to a new group of artists and projects. Applicants may apply for a 1, 2, 3, or 4-month summer residency from June through September. Projects undertaken by Visiting Artists are self-directed and must be compatible with available working studio spaces and facilities. Visiting Artists will have the opportunity for informal exchanges with other Torpedo Factory artists and will be asked to give a demonstration elaborating on their process.

Visiting Artists will be able to display and sell their original artwork and will be provided with workspace. Each Visiting Artist will pay one-half of the rent of the studio, with amounts ranging between approximately $180 and $480 per month depending on the size of the studio space. The Torpedo Factory Art Center has very limited communal facilities. All expenses and arrangements related to art materials, equipment, transportation, housing, or other requirements are the responsibility of the Visiting Artist.

Entry fee is $50.00. Applicants may submit up to 3 applications. Work samples must include a minimum of 8 images and a maximum of 12 images, with up to 3 videos allowed, for a total of 8-15 samples. The program is open to international applicants.
