Application deadline: June 4, 2010

APPLICATIONS ARE NOW ONLINE      http://www.headlands.org/article.asp?key=45

Headlands Center for the Arts' Artist in Residence Program has earned international renown for bringing together pioneering artists and arts professionals in all disciplines- visual, performance, writing, interdisciplinary, music, composition, sound, film, video, and new media- from throughout the U.S. and the world. 

The Artist in Residence program provides a supportive working environment that allows time for artists to experiment, reflect and grow, both individually and collectively during their stay.

The program offers fully sponsored, live-in and live-out residencies to around 35 artists each year from March to November, and is distinguished in that there is no fee to participate. 

Through the support of generous donations, Artists in Residence are provided with a studio, shared housing and five meals a week for live-in artists. A studio and dinner twice weekly are provided for live-out artists. Stipends of up to $500/month are available pending funding and sponsorships secured each year. 

Residencies range from four to ten weeks, with an average stay of two months.

Artists are selected based upon merit, through a mixture of open application and invitation. Headlands currently accepts applications for residencies from artists working in all disciplines mentioned above. Headlands Center for the Arts also provides Bridge residencies by nomination to artists who are leaders in using the creative process as a catalyst for social change. 

Headlands offers residencies to artists from across the U.S. and around the world, from places such as Sweden, Denmark, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Italy, India, Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cuba, Brazil, Mexico and more than 20 other countries. 

Invitational Residencies

Special invitational residencies have also been offered in collaboration with other institutions, including The Richard C. Diebenkorn Teaching Fellowship at the San Francisco Art Institute; MATRIX, UC Berkeley Art Museum; The Lab in San Francisco and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. 

Headlands Center for the Arts invitation-only Bridge Project residency seeks to identify, nurture and share the work of remarkable role models who integrate artistic expression and techniques with influential activities in a wide range of organizations and places. Each of the artists selected to participate have made significant contributions in the areas of environmental art and advocacy, cultural identity, or community development, through their chosen disciplines. They demonstrate how visual, written, and performance works are tools for personal transformation, political change, awareness building, and social justice, transcending socioeconomic boundaries to empower communities and give voice to some of the most important issues of our time.

For the month of February Little Berlin will be exhibiting artworks rejected from Arcadia University’s 2009 “Works on Paper”. The November call for entries in 2009 received a record 1,256 pieces of artwork.

Arcadia’s “Works on Paper” is a unique opportunity for artists to have a selected curator/juror review your art in flesh and blood, but what is that worth when there’s such high demand of art to be seen?

Works on Paper Rejects is hung and ready for the public. Listed below are the 47 participants in this exhibition. Without these artists this show would not have physically happened. Particularly, the substance of this exhibit would be non-existent without their participation. Despite all the happenings that took place, it takes a brave person to say, “Yes, I’m a reject.” (I am honored to be among you.)

Aidan Rumack, Annette Monnier, Ashley Flynn, Ben Pannell, Beth Heinly, Beth Prusky, Bobby Gonzales, Caroline Garcia, Chelsea Thoumsin, Dante Lentz, Edgar H. Hal, EJ O’Hara, Eleanor Bustrom, Ellie Brown, Enn LaBonte, Harrison Doyle, Jake Kehs, Jeffery Stockbridge, Jenna Weiss, Jenna Wilchinsly, Joan R. Rosiak, Joseph E.

Colaizzo, May Lomax, Melissa Haims, Melvin A. Chappell, Nic Coviello, Peter Schenck, Rick Tygger, Salvatore Cerceo, Samantha Simmons, Sara Sanderson, Sarah Weber, Scott Cooper, Sofie Hodara, Yikui Coy Gu

Opening Friday February 5th 6-11pm
Show runs from February 5th thru February 27th

DCCA Open Call for 2010 Members' Juried Exhibition.


Mark your calendar
Apply today!

Postmark deadline: January 22, 2010

Eligibility: Open to all DCCA artist members

April 9 - July 25, 2010

The theme for the 2010 Members' Juried exhibition examines the possibilities of, experimentations on, and flirtations with what is NEW.

What is NEW can be about testing the limits of known concepts and ideas or about works-in-progress that are still being tested. It can be about subverting conventions. It can be about expanding, mutating, or challenging the premise of what exists or engendering the existence of something that has yet to be. In flexing one's instincts to respond to all else that is new out there in the world, new form or language can also be created.

Guest Juror Roberta Fallon writes, "The NEW signals something that is fresh and risk-taking, perhaps not completely worked out yet but forward-moving." In an art age rife with appropriation, references, as well as exploded and satirized notions of what is novel, the NEW is about fresh courage, bold analysis, burning curiosity, and stubborn will to chart new territory.

JUROR

Roberta Fallon is an art reviewer for the Philadelphia Weekly and writes a weekly column of reviews and features about art and artists in Philadelphia. Fallon has published articles in numerous publications including Art on Paper, Artreview, Art and Auction, Artnet, and The Philadelphia Inquirer Sunday Magazine. In 2003, she and Libby Rosof launched the online art review publication, artblog(http://theartblog.org), twice hailed as one of the best art blogs by Art in America. Fallon and Rosof were each conferred an honorary doctorate of fine arts by the Moore College of Art and Design last year for their accomplishments and committed championing of contemporary art in Philadelphia.

Last Critical Dialogues of the Semester

GABRIEL MARTINEZ
11 AM, Auditorium B04
Monday, December 7th

be there or be square.


Untitled (Self-Portraits)
Part 1, installation of 50 solarized silver gelatin prints

face-front plexiglass-mounted and framed, 2007



Gabriel Martinez, a Cuban-American native of Miami, Florida, works largely with photography, performance and installation. His conceptual concerns flow from one project to the next, while the methods and materials he employs constantly vary, and often fuse together. Martinez started out exclusively working in photography and gradually ventured into a more interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary mode and tends to be attracted to the potential & power of performance-oriented, site-specific installation. Although his work has been greatly motivated by the themes of loss, celebration, memorial, and cultural identity for many of his projects, the subject that is usually central to his exploration has been that of masculinity and its various intricacies, contradictions and complexities. Much of Martinez’s artistic career has been devoted to various topics related to maleness and to the further understanding his own queer identity and community, as well as an exploration of male heterosexuality. Martinez’s practice is primarily based in Philadelphia, PA, as well as Miami and New York.

Lectures are free and open to the public.
