GLASS WORKING RESIDENCY

(A) Pilchuck Glass School / Emerging Artist in Residence / Call for Applications
The Emerging Artist in Residence (EAiR) program at Pilchuck Glass School supports artists making the transition from the academic environment to professional careers. Whether they have been out of school for a few years or are at an early stage in their careers, artists may find this independent residency ideal for contemplation, research, and experimentation. This residency provides artists with a place and the time to develop a particular idea or project with glass, with the potential for realizing a new body of work or way of working.
Since the EAiR program is an independent artist’s residency, some glassmaking experience is required, as no instruction is available. Residents have access to many Pilchuck studios, including the glass-plate printmaking (vitreography) studio; plaster studio; fusing, slumping, and casting kilns; flameworking torch; and coldworking equipment. The eight-week autumn residency for six artists includes a US$1,000 per artist stipend, studio space, shared cooking facilities, and a single room in a cottage with shared bath. Materials, instruction, food, and travel reimbursement are not provided.

Welcome to Mira's List

This blog provides information on upcoming grants, fellowships and residencies for artists, writers, composers, and media artists. It is for serious professionals only, from emerging to mid-career to established. I also publish information for graduate students from time to time. However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money. At least that is my current policy. For more info on where to exhibit or publish, please see my links section which I try to periodically update. I sift through hundreds of search engines and websites to find opportunities for YOU dear artist. In return, I ask you to pass the information along to those who need it. Also, since this is a free blog, I don't always have the time to weed carefully through everything. If you find a grant or website or residency that is not up-to-date, is dodgy in some way, or is no longer in existence, please let me know! Also, if you stay somewhere at one of the residencies I suggest and have a good experience, I want that feedback too. Please check my FAQs at the top right side bar if you have questions before starting your search. Best wishes and happy hunting!
