Santa Fe Art Institute Residency Programs SUBMISSION DEADLINE: July 5, 2014 SFAI’s international Artists and Writers Residency Program continues to grow and expand to serve the needs of artists and foster invaluable relationships with artists and organizations in the local communities and beyond in the support of innovative thinking and creative risk taking. In 2012, SFAI welcomed nearly 80 artists and writers from around the globe for a 1-3 month live-in residency. With unrestricted time and space, residents have the freedom to explore and the opportunity to be bold. Residents are inspired by the unique architectural qualities of the Legorreta-designed building, the phenomenal illuminating light around the city, the cultural richness of the people, and the landscape of the Southwest. They participate in various arts and cultural events around town, and present their own work to the public during our monthly Open Studios and Readings. They are often featured in local press, exhibitions, and on the local airwaves. Some complete work while in residence for exhibitions, performances, and publications; others find the rare quiet that exposes depth and elasticity in the creative process. Residency Program The Santa Fe Art Institute (SFAI) conducts a bi-annual competitive selection process for artist and writer residencies that focuses on the professional experience of the artist, the quality of their past work, and their potential to have a productive residency at SFAI. The selection committees are comprised of successful artists, gallery owners, art instructors, writers, and other arts professionals from our region. SFAI supports over 50 residents per year and offers a cohesive, arts-focused environment that creates the ideal working conditions for our resident artists. Residents are housed in handsomely appointed rooms with private baths and are provided with beautiful, well-lit studio spaces, allowing them to pursue creative projects without interruption. The overall physical layout of the residency space encourages daily interaction and fosters communication among residents from all over the world. Residency Length and Availability The length of SFAI Residencies varies from one month (minimum) to three months (maximum). Depending on availability, residencies can be scheduled between February and December. The Residency Program is closed in January. Successful applicants have one calendar year from their acceptance date to complete a residency. Residents who wish to return to SFAI must wait two calendar years to reapply. Originals letters of recommendation may not be used when reapplying. Witter Bynner Poetry Translation Residency The SFAI, in conjunction with the Witter Bynner Foundation for Poetry, offers one poetry translator residency per year. The residency is open to both published and emerging poetry translators and includes a stipend to subsidized transportation and accommodations and a modest living stipend. This residency is for one month. Emergency Relief Residences In its unconditional support for all artists, SFAIs Emergency Relief Residency program provides respite to artists affected by the horrors of political, social, or natural disasters. The SFAI also partners with freeDimensional, an international non-profit organization dedicated to finding safe-haven locations in residency programs around the world for artist/activists who find them selves in peril as a result of the work that they make. Canada Council for the Arts International Residency In 2013 and 2014 the SFAI and Canada Council for the Arts will partner in providing two residencies for an Aboriginal visual artist and/or curator for a period of three months each. The CCA International Residencies program supports professionals in the visual arts which includes visual and fine craft artists, and independent critics and curators in furthering their artistic practice in an international context. This residency component is dedicated to Canadian Aboriginal artists and curators of First Nations, Métis and Inuit origins. Emerging Artist Fellowship The Harpo Foundation’s Emerging Artist Fellowship at the Santa Fe Art Institute (SFAI) was established in 2013 to provide an annual opportunity to an emerging visual artist 25 years and older who needs time and space to explore ideas and start new projects. Artist Fellows will receive a one-month residency at the Santa Fe Art Institute, which includes a handsomely appointed room with private bath, a beautiful, well-lit studio space, and a $500 travel stipend. Fees and Deadlines Application Fee: $35 Residency Fee: $1,000.00 per month General Residency Deadlines: July 5 and December 31 each year Financial Aid SFAI offers generous financial aid packages in the form of need-based scholarships and scholarships made possible over the years by the generosity of the Warhol Foundation, Witter Bynner Foundation and Joan Mitchell Foundation. Application and allocation of all scholarships will be facilitated once the applicant has been accepted into the program. Need based scholarships are decided at the discretion of the SFAI, based on tax returns and letters of financial need. Find out more sfai.org/applications.html
