OPPORTUNITY FOR PRINT MAKERS
Flux Factory’s innovative residency program is excited to expand to include a silk screen residency for print makers.
Flux Factory is a nonprofit organization that provides low-cost residencies in NYC for over 30 artists per year. Together we organize ambitious collective projects and programming in our on-site gallery, as well as collaborative work that is housed in other institutions throughout the US and abroad.
The Flux Print Maker Residency offers use of an equipped screen printing lab and communal spaces, including our gallery, co-working office, wood shop, kitchen, and library. Residents benefit from an engaged and creative community, access to professional staff, studio visits, monthly potluck dinners & salons, and exposure to a large network of cultural producers who maintain personal practices and also develop projects together.
We’re looking for print makers who will be active community members in our prolific social milieu. This residency is perfect for artists who have their own focused practice, but revel in sharing it with others in a vibrant and, at times, chaotic environment. In addition to providing a venue for personal production, Flux Factory also functions as an art-making collective and encourages artists-in-residence to participate in invitational projects.
Our silkscreen studio is a small but fully furnished print shop designed for paper projects and single-layer fabric prints. The studio contains separate rooms for printing and screen prep. Equipment includes: 4′x8′ printing table, 50 shelf drying rack, flat files, spray booth and power washer, dark room, a 36″x42″ UV light box, and a 36″x36″ paper cutter.
Resident (or group of residents) are responsible for the $350 monthly residency fee.
Deadline: January 15th, 2012.
Apply for the Flux Factory print makers artist-in-residence program via Wooloo.
OPPORTUNITY FOR ARTISTS AND CULTURAL PRODUCERS OF ALL KINDS
Flux Factory is a not-for-profit organization that has been organizing collaborative projects and supporting experimental programming for 17 years. Our residency program, now in its third year, is extremely competitive and has hosted more than fifty artists from around the world.
Our building includes a gallery, a coworking office, a screen printing lab, and a wood shop. It also has a shared kitchen, library, and lots of great people.
Residents benefit from an engaged and creative community, studio visits, monthly art salons, and exposure to a large community of creative collaborators who both maintain personal practices and also develop projects together. We organize ambitious group exhibitions in our gallery, while doing projects as a collective in other institutions in the US and abroad. All residents have a voice in planning programming, and sustaining and growing the organization as a whole.
We are looking for an artist, curator, or cultural producer of any kind, who will also be an active community member, and a friend who enjoys being part of a wonderful and active social milieu. Participation in the residency program at Flux includes opportunity to develop and execute collaborative projects, so if you have worked collaboratively and/or socially, please tell us about it!
Residency periods are 3 / 6 / 9 / 12 months, and each artist must find their own funding for their residency, though Flux Factory can certainly help with this process. The cost varies from $700 to $1000 each month, depending on the size of the room. We work with each accepted resident as much as possible to accommodate time and financial constraints.
Deadline: January 15th, 2012.
