About
The Textile Arts Center Artist in Residence (TAC AIR) program offers a comprehensive 9-month residency combining studio access with an interdisciplinary curriculum, critical dialogue, and mentorship. It culminates in a group exhibition hosted by TAC. Since 2010, TAC AIR has graduated over 100 artists and designers, contributing significantly to textile art in various fields. The program is structured in three phases: 'Play' (October-December) focusing on exploration and technical skill development; 'Research & Concept' (January-March) emphasizing project development and mentorship; and 'Project Creation' (April-June) dedicated to finalizing projects and professional development. Residents have 24/7 access to a personal studio space and TAC’s equipment, along with $1,000 worth of free classes at TAC. The tuition is $11,000, with payment plans available, and a scholarship is offered to support artists from historically marginalized communities. The selection process involves a committee of TAC staff and textile arts professionals, with criteria including the quality of work and the plan for residency. Applications are digital, with an early bird fee available, and international applicants are welcome but responsible for VISA arrangements.
