the Visiting Artist Residency
The Visiting Artists in Residency Program
This national program provides individual artists and those nominated by the National Advisors an opportunity for a fully paid one-two week print production residency in Philadelphia. Names and background materials – image files, resumes, etc are presented to the Review Committee in early January and a list is generated based upon the level of funding that is available for residencies to occur the following year. As a national program, it is very competitive. Artists selected tend to emphasize creating prints as an extension of their aesthetic interests in another medium, not the reproduction of an existing image or further focus on traditional processes.
The program emphasizes innovation where possible, exploring new ideas and incorporating new materials and technology (i.e., digital cutters). In-person residencies allow for travel and hotel accomodations. Virtual residencies allow for more of the budget to go toward production expenses.
