SCAPE Resident Artist

Being an Artist at the Workhouse is being part of a team. With approximately 90 artists, 60 studios, 9 galleries and an artist gift shop, the community shares cooperative values. Under the direction of the Workhouse, artists collectively operate their building/galleries; therefore, each building/group has unique characteristics. For visitors, it is the most visual component of the Workhouse experience and one easily remembered. Visitors are encouraged to interact with artists in their studios during open hours.

Entry fee are non-refundable. By submitting this form, you state that you have read and understand SOP H2: Workhouse Artists Guidelines, found online at www.WorkhouseArts.org/visual-arts/artist-program, to include

Art Sales: Art sales made on campus, or as a result of Workhouse efforts, are administered via the Workhouse with a 30% commission. Artists are encouraged to sell elsewhere, without a commission to the Workhouse.

Instructor Opportunities: The Workhouse operates a comprehensive Educational Program. Artists at the Workhouse may teach in the Education Program, but are not permitted to hold private classes within their studio or teach classes at the Workhouse unless they have been formally contracted to do so by the Education Program. Classes may take place in other buildings on campus.

Contribution of Art: All artists are required to contribute a work-of- art ($200 value) each year, when requested, for a Workhouse fundraiser.

Building/Gallery Monitors: Artists are responsible, collectively, for monitoring their buildings when the center is open to the public.

Access/Hours: Each studio artist has 24/7/365 access to their building/studio and are expected to work within their studio a minimum of 70 hours a month (40 hours during public hours). Associates are expected to provide 1.5 work hours a month to the Workhouse. Artists are also expected to attend major events such as 2nd Saturday Art Walks.

Security: There is limited security service on campus. Artists are generally responsible for the security and liability of their own studio and artwork.

Exhibiting: Unless directly paid for, (non-studio) exhibiting space is a benefit of program participation.

Lease/Agreement: Studio artists are required to sign a lease.

Marketing: Use of the Workhouse logo and brand is allowed only with additional written approval from the Foundation. The primary goal of the Marketing department at the Workhouse is to market the Arts Center. The Marketing department will help artists with marketing when given material.
