SFW Residency at Kent Cultural Alliance

CHESTERTOWN, MD, United States

Resident artists will be embedded with a local community organization during the first week of residency to learn about the mission and goals of the organization, so as to be inspired with ideas for creative projects which will engage a broader cross-section of the public in those goals and missions.  Artists will then have five weeks to create finished, or significantly finished works which will be exhibited in the KCA gallery.  During the working period, artists will make one in-school workshop presentation in one of seven local schools.  Artists will also have one open studio day on a Saturday after the first three weeks – for public community access to the work and process.  There will also be two or three (TBD) evening events where artists will present their past or present work to an invited audience of supporters and arts leaders in the region.  Exhibits will open the Friday night of the last week of each residency and will run for four weeks.  Artists are expected to attend the Opening and an Artist Talk the Saturday morning after the opening, travel should be booked for the Sunday of the final weekend of the residency.
