The Luminary 2017 Residency Program
The Luminary invites applications for our 2017 Residency Program.
As a leading artist-run and artist-centric space, The Luminary supports exceptional ideas and initiatives by providing dedicated time, considered collaborations and a supportive working environment. The program is open to all artists, curators and critics, but uniquely supports the research, development and presentation of work that utilizes innovative forms and unconventional structures such as alternative spaces and economies, publications and writing, archives, collaborations, artist-led projects and para-institutional practices. We are looking for applicants interested in expanding the idea of the institution in the present, exploring the borders of contemporary art and the means in which it circulates and embodying radical and equitable practices of care, collectivity, and collaboration.
The Luminary works closely with each resident to facilitate the space, knowled ge and collaborative opportunities with artists, curators, local residents and other organizations necessary for their work. Residents are provided well-equipped studios, housing, numerous opportunities for public engagement such as lectures, solo exhibitions, studio visits and workshops, as well as modest stipends.
Residency for Artist Parents
Additionally, thanks to the support of the Sustainable Arts Foundation, we will offer a dedicated residency for artists, critics and curators with children. While we are always supportive of proposals from artist parents, these select residencies will come with additional financial support, assistance with childcare, and a personalized environment for the unique needs of families.
Residencies are available year-round from one week up to three months. Please note that the program is not active in August or December.
Applications are due July 31st, 2016 for residencies taking place throughout 2017.
To apply, please fill out the online application.
Please note there is a non-refundable $25 application fee.
