GRASPING at
STRAWBERRIES
I am not a morning person; however, I do so much love breakfast foods. Eggs Benedict, yum. Fluffy biscuits, pumpkin pancakes, fresh strawberries. Somethings are worth getting up a little earlier in the morning; however, I have decided breakfast food is fair game anytime of the day instead. Do not be encouraged to follow my bad example…make sure to apply early to this next Call.
Check out this Call for Applications for an Artist Residency at Light Work housed in Syracuse University. You have all year to apply, but I encourage you to get your application submitted to the Light Work AIR Program early. Take a look…
ARTIST RESIDENCY: Light Work
Every year Light Work invites between twelve and fifteen artists to come to Syracuse to devote one month to creative projects. Over 350 artists have participated in the AIR program, and many of them have gone on to achieve international acclaim.
The residency includes a $4,000 stipend, a furnished artist apartment, 24-hour access to our state-of-the-art facilities, and generous staff support. Work by each Artist-in-Residence is published in a special edition of Contact Sheet: The Light Work Annual along with an essay commissioned by Light Work. Work by former Artists-in-Residence is also part of the Light Work Collection.
DEADLINE: Applications to the Artist-in-Residence Program are accepted throughout the year.
ABOUT LIGHT WORK: Light Work was founded as an artist-run, non-profit organization in 1973. Its mission is to provide direct support through residencies, publications, exhibitions, a community-access digital lab facility, and other related projects to emerging and under-represented artists working in the media of photography and digital imaging.
Light Work’s founding directors were Phil Block and Tom Bryan. The organization has been led by Jeffrey Hoone since 1982. Light Work is housed in the Robert B. Menschel Media Center at Syracuse University.
