AiR Application

Artist in Residence Application

AiR at the EncaustiCastle are self-directed, 2 week-6 month duration, and available to all modes, methods, and materials of creative expression. Visual arts, poetry, study, writing, musical creation, all are welcome if the space and circumstances suit. Mentorship and coaching additional options if desired.

  • Provide a way in which your work can best be viewed by the selection committee.
  • Pure and in-depth time in studio? Hands-on instruction? Business development? Mentorship or collaborative-growth alchemy? The more information you can provide up front, the clearer and most fluidly we can develop a plan of action.
  • Are you pulling together an exhibit? Working with new material and experimenting? Taking time in a bigger space that offers fresh atmosphere in order to be open to chance and change? Diving deeper into a medium or mode for which you would like to spelunker?
  • What experience do you have working in residence, as well as self-directed inquiry and development? (There is no right answer! This question is to ensure we understand intentions and ambitions from the get-go)
  • Drop files here or
    Max. file size: 512 MB, Max. files: 7.
      Please provide a minimum of 3 images of most recent work, or work for which you’ve been experimenting and wish to continue in during residency. This is not a request for your best work; it is a request to see your depth of inquiry and inquisition in the creative process.
    • Please provide several dates and durations. Trish will contact you to further explore open time frames thereafter.
      By ticking this box you affirm your awareness that this is a fee-based residency, as outlined on the main AiR page.
