ELIGIBILITY |

Each selected artist will receive a semi-private studio space, equipped with two work tables and shelving, extended studio access, free firings, and employee discounts on clay and supplies. There will be opportunities to teach classes and workshops, and also opportunities to exhibit and sell work. The selected artists will have a two-person show in our café gallery at the end of the residency term.
There are no residency fees, but the artists are responsible for their own supplies and housing. |
Residents must contribute ten hours of work per week to the WCAC studio. Tasks are determined by the Studio Manager, but may include making clay, mixing glazes, loading and firing kilns, maintaining kiln shelves and furniture, helping install work in the café gallery, and general organizing and cleaning. An important aspect of the residency program is participation in our community of teachers and students. Residents must be available to interact with other studio members and become an integral part of our community.

Applicants must have a BA or equivalent work experience. Interested artists should apply by May 31, 2020 with a completed application form, a letter of intent, ten digital images representing his or her work, a resumé, and two letters of recommendation. The application form, images, resumé, and letter of intent can be submitted through the link on this page, or mailed on CD to the Wellsville Creative Arts Center. All letters of recommendation must be mailed.
