Artist residencies can be an amazing way for artists to achieve specific goals, whether it's to expand your network, explore a new art scene in a different country or simply just get away from your routine and find inspiration. During this workshop, Ninth Street Collective member Erin Kim will help you strategically identify artist residencies that align with your personal and professional goals, and share tips on how to best present yourself in your application. She will cover examples of successful applications and share her experiences serving on application review committees of select artist residencies. Please bring your questions and application excerpts for feedback.
The workshop will be hosted on Zoom. Attendees will receive a Zoom link via email.
A portion of all proceeds will be donated to the NAACP LDF.
