Artist Residencies in New Ulm with Stipend

Minnesota Artist-in-Residence

New Ulm, United States

**The Grand Center for Arts & Culture** (GCAC) is pleased to announce our artist residency program for the calendar year . We are inviting guest artists to apply for a residency with the opportunity to use our Cellar Press studios — letterpress, printmaking, and bookbinding — to create works of art or as an integral part of their artistic practice. Residencies last two–three weeks, and while artists are not required to live in New Ulm, they are expected to spend a significant amount of time in the studios gaining skills and producing work. **Artists-in-Residence are expected to:** * Be a current resident of Minnesota. * Have some technical skills in the medium they pursue (GCAC staff will introduce artists to the specifics of Cellar Press equipment and available materials, and artists will complete a virtual equipment training). * Immerse themselves in a new or continuing body of work. * Work independently in the GCAC Cellar Press studio. * Lead a public community project in the New Ulm area. Examples include public demonstrations; teaching a class on printmaking or book arts; presenting an activity for public engagement at a farmer’s market or festival; a public art installation or performance; leading a workshop at one of our summer Kid’s Creativity Camps; designing and carving a series of linoleum blocks for The Grand’s use at events, demonstrations, etc. Feel free to propose an idea other than what is listed here! * Provide The Grand with at least two works produced during the residency for The Grand’s exclusive use. * Maintain a safe and clean working area. * Complete an exit interview upon the completion of the residency.
