Granada ImproFest 2025 Intensive Artist Residency

_“My activism did not spring from my being gay, or, for that matter, from my being black. Rather, it is rooted fundamentally in my Quaker upbringing and the values that were instilled in me by my grandparents who reared me.” – Bayard Rustin_

  
**As of Dec 9th, 2024, we are currently accepting applications for the 2025-2026 Bayard Rustin Residency. This is our 5th Bayard Rustin Residency and will run from September 2025 to September 2026.**

  
Building on the social activist history of Penington’s founders, original board, and later residents, the Bayard Rustin Residency at Penington Friends House (PFH) is envisioned as an ongoing ladder to empowerment for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) working to end Systemic Racism and to create a culture of anti-Racism and intersectional equality in the United States of America. It is also intended to extend and strengthen the wider Quaker witness to equality.

Beginning in September of 2025, this residency will provide up to one year of room and board to a person who demonstrates a strong project that addresses ending Systemic Racism and who has a necessity to be in New York City for up to one year. They will reside at the Penington Friends House located in New York City’s Lower East Side of Manhattan. The Bayard Rustin Resident will demonstrate a need to live in Manhattan. Areas of focus of their work can include activism in the arts, policy change, human rights, community organizing, and other areas of activism focusing on ending racism and strengthening equality. Residents will meet regularly with the Residency Manager and will be expected to share their progress with the New York City community in the form of presentations or workshops.

The resident does not have to be Quaker but their work should be shaped by and in harmony with our tenets of Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, and Stewardship. **_The resident will be expected to be a full-time resident of PFH and be participating member of this intentional community._** This includes eating chef prepared dinners with the other residents and participating in shared light house chores. ( 1 1/2 hour commitment per week on average.) 

  
**Here are a few types of artists and activists activities that we would be interested in considering:**

* An artist working on a body of art that addresses racism and/or intersectional issues.
* A writer working on a new book, play, screenplay, or collection that addresses racism and/or intersectional issues.
* A performer creating a new dance piece that addresses racism and/or intersectional issues.
* A community based artist designing or carrying out a community based project that addresses racism and/or intersectional issues.
* An activist organizing communities to address racism and/or intersectional issues.
* A social entrepreneur that is starting a non-profit focused on addressing racism and/or intersectional issues.
* An inventor or designer working on solving a problem associated with systemic racism and/or intersectional issues.
* A graduate student that has a strong and well defined anti-racism project that needs support and time to launch.

Accommodation: room and board, including food provided 5 nights a week

Bayard Rustin Residency 2025-2026

Well known by visual artists as the "Gift of Time", the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program was established in 1967 to provide gifted studio-based visual artists with the unique opportunity to concentrate on their work in a supportive, collegial environment for an entire year. This gift of time allows artists to work without distraction in an effort to break new ground and focus on individual goals. The Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program’s interest is in strengthening the vitality of the visual art in New Mexico and has been a catalyst in broadening community understanding of contemporary art for over fifty years.

The Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program offers six artists a place to live and work for a year, with a monthly stipend and no strings attached. Artists-in-residence have the opportunity to mount a solo exhibition of their work at the Roswell Museum, and to have an artwork purchased for the permanent collection of the Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art. Over the past 50 years, the residency has welcomed more than 280 visual artists.

  
**Rough start dates for the 2026/27 residencies will be:** 

2 residencies beginning January 1, 2026 

2 residencies beginning April 1, 2026 

2 residencies beginning August 1, 2026

**Accommodation:**

The studios are large, open spaces that measure approximately 30 'x 25 'x 10'. These areas are well-lighted and convertible to the artist's requirements. Artists are housed in a complex of six houses and 8 studios located on fifty acres of land. Each artist is provided with a house that can amply accommodate either a single person or a family. Rent, utilities (except telephone), repairs and maintenance costs are borne by the Program. Houses are furnished with major furniture items, appliances, and utensils within reason. The compound also has specialty workshops: printmaking studio (stone litho/etching), digital media room, woodshop, welding shop, and ceramics studio. Residents have full use of these facilities and are expected to help maintain them.

**Stipend:**

* A stipend of $1100 per month is offered by RAiR to each artist-in-residence.
* The Fredrick Hammersley Foundation has generously provided an additional stipend of $250 per month for artists' materials.
* For families and couples, RAiR provides an additional $100 for partner and each child living with the grantee. (For example, a single artist would receive $1350 per month and a family of 4 (resident, partner, 2 kids) would receive $1650 per month.)

**The FCCS Woodhaven Artist in Residence Program provides a paid residency opportunity for a diverse variety of visiting artists including writers, visual artists, digital media artists and performance artists. Artists stay between 2 – 4 weeks at our Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre in the summer months.**

  
We are seeking applications from artists or writers who are engaged in visual arts, digital arts, performance, social and community-based artistic practices. We particularly encourage applications from BIPOC artists and those from marginalized groups that are traditionally underrepresented in ecologically-focussed creative practice. 

  
**Residency Information**

This residency includes accommodation in a large two-bedroom home located at the Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre as well as full use of a studio on the property. The visiting artist/author/performer will be expected to spend time on their own art practice as well as part of their time on community engaged programming, and are invited to stay between 2 – 4 weeks, anytime between July 1 to August 15\. 

  
Artists who are engaged in visual arts, creative writing, digital arts, performance, and community-based artistic practices are invited to apply. Space on site is limited, and minimal equipment is available at Woodhaven. 

The Woodhaven Visiting Artist Residency is primarily designed to support site-specific artistic practice that engages with the space at Woodhaven (which includes forested areas and a creek), the Okanagan region more broadly, or local knowledge and expertise. 

UBC Okanagan campus is home to the Bachelor of Sustainability and has faculty working in multiple areas of climate and sustainability focused research and creative practice. This residency is a vibrant part of UBC Okanagan’s commitment to building communities, both locally and globally, that are committed to creating and sharing knowledge and creative practices dedicated to the mindful preservation and just stewardship of our world’s natural environment. 

Visiting Artists should be prepared to execute their project independently. UBC’s Okanagan Campus is a 30-minute drive away from Woodhaven and features resources that may be available, such as a staffed woodshop and metal shop (use of these spaces does require safety training and must be completed with one of our studio technicians). Bookings must be made in advance. Transportation will be the artist’s responsibility if use of these spaces is needed. 

This residency includes accommodation in a large two-bedroom home located at the Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre as well as full use of a studio on the property. 

  
The successful applicant will be paid $7000\.

Artist Residency for Teachers

**About Shandaken: Storm King**

 Shandaken: Storm King is a free, process-focused residency that is collaboratively produced by Shandaken Projects and Storm King Art Center, and that takes place at Storm King. Each resident is given a private bedroom and a private, 9-by-14-foot studio for 2 or 4 weeks each. The studios do not have electricity: all corded tools must be used in a group work space attached to the house.

  
**The residency**

The 2024 residency season will take place June 16 through October 5\. It is open to cultural practitioners internationally (however please note that travel costs are not provided for).

Residents of this program stay in a four-bedroom house. Private studios, each a discrete building, are nestled into the surrounding landscape within walking distance from the house. Although the house and studios are technically located on the grounds of Storm King Art Center, visitors to Storm King are permitted to access the residency only by special invitation of residents themselves.

Shandaken: Storm King residencies are meant to facilitate experimentation, process, research, or production by providing space and time for residents to do as they wish—but we ask that residents bring or buy their own materials.

Residents are offered unique opportunities to visit Storm King's grounds, see its collection, and get to know its staff.

If you are chosen to participate, your residency will be completely free, however at present we are unable to offer travel reimbursement, nor offer any stipend.

  
**Facilities and accommodations**

 In 2025, residents are housed together, in private bedrooms, with a shared bathroom and a live-in facilities manager.

The program provides a basic kitchen setup, food staples, a private studio, and utilities. Some basic tools, primarily hand tools and small power tools for woodworking, are also available. Candidates may inquire for details about what is on offer, if this will affect whether or not you apply. All utilities are centralized in the house: the studios do not have electricity.

There are pre-scheduled trips into nearby Newburgh, so that residents without a means of transportation can purchase supplies. Tours of Storm King, studio visits, and other engagements with the public or Shandaken and Storm King staff are offered on an opt-in basis.

Viet Voices is excited to announce an open call for San Diego’s first AAPI Emerging Artist Fellowship, a opportunity for Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) artists to engage with the art community and develop their professional practice from April to July 2025\. The fellowship inspires fellows to contemplate their connection to their ancestral identity – homeland, language, and cultural memory – as themes for dreaming towards posterity. Viet Voices questions what continuity in community looks like, and how to ritualize (re/un)learning environments. They seek contemporary artists who conceptualize beyond the commercial. Those who challenge censorship to experimenti with the multiplicity of being.

About the Fellowship: The AAPI Emerging Artist Fellowship is designed to support early-career artists who identify as AAPI and are at a pivotal stage in their artistic journey. The fellowship provides a platform for the development and presentation of new work while also offering professional/leadership development opportunities to foster future success in the arts.

**Benefits of the Fellowship:**

* **Exhibition Opportunity:** Showcase your work in a group exhibition in San Diego with support in developing and documenting your work.
* **Mentorship:** Ongoing mentorship from AAPI artists and arts professionals, including one-on-one studio visits and feedback.
* **Professional Development:** Opportunities to participate in workshops/ceremonies, artist talks, and networking events with fellow artists, curators, and art professionals.
* **Financial Support:** A stipend to support the production of new work, materials, and living expenses during the fellowship period. Each fellow will receive a honorarium of $3,000 disbursed in two partial installments.
* **Community Engagement:** Connect with a network of AAPI artists and art spaces, queering the boundaries and intersections of art in San Diego.

Open Call - Artiver AI Art Awards 

For the first time, Fondazione Studio Rizoma launches an open call for proposals from local partners in the city of Palermo and international collaborators from across the Mediterranean to actively contribute to the next edition of _BETWEEN LAND AND SEA 2025_. Scheduled to take place in Palermo in November 2025, the Festival aims to open a public space of learning, caring, experience, curiosity, inquiry, debate, delight, outrage, speculation, transgression, imagination and action about the meanings and possibilities contained in our lives and practices.

  
The topic we want to explore is _SIGNIFICATO_, as it seems that there is a historical need to defend the meaning of words and concepts almost etymologically. As political contexts are as polarised as ever, what are the meanings and signifiers we can identify for anchorage and guidance? Looking at _BETWEEN LAND AND SEA_, _sea_ (_mare_) has two possible roots one coming from the Sanskrit _mors_, death for the perceived absence of life in the waters, and a second one coming from Greek and Latin and meaning sparkling or shining. _Land_ (_terra_) has an Indo-European root with the same meaning as the Latin one translating to _dry matter_. Focusing on the intermediate space between land and sea may mean to focus on the relationship the two share with each other.

  
The term _in between_ is written about by Deleuze and Guattari in _A Thousand Plateaus_. For them _in between_ (_entre_ in French) – “it is not an average at all; on the contrary, it is the point at which things accelerate. The ‘between’ is a transversal movement that flows in both directions, a flow without beginning or end that erodes its banks and gains speed in the middle.” The concept of _between_ is used by them to describe the reality of relationships and interconnections, never fixed or determined, which are formed through complex dynamics that always take place in an interstitial space. Still in the discourse on territorialization and deterritorialization – in between can be seen as a place of interaction between opposing or different forces (land and sea) that mutually influence each other, and often give rise to new territories or possibilities of expression. 

  
As stated in her text _Nomadi_, Rosie Braidotti challenges the idea that meaning can be found in a singular, static form or in one’s place of origin. Instead, meaning is not something inherent or static; it is something that is continuously constructed through encounters, transitions, and shifting identities. In line with Myriam Bahaffou’s dynamic approach to language, we propose a collective reflection about how meaning is constructed and renegotiated in relation to the normalization of dominant discourses and power structures.

The FSR team will assist with the production, curation and communication of selected proposals. Limited co-funding support is available. All proposals must have an existing budget or funding strategy.
