Artist in Residency
VALISE Artist Collective and Gallery
Vashon Island, Washington
January and February 2012
Application Deadline November 20, 2011
Acceptance by December 10, 2011
Project Description
VALISE Artist Collective and Gallery is offering an artist in residency on Vashon Island beginning January 3, 2012.  It includes one month of work space and living accommodation with a small stipend and a second month offering a public opening, artist talk and exhibition. The month of January offers the time, space and support to create or complete a body of work.  The artist(s) will work in the main street gallery as a studio in public view through the gallery front window.  During February the artist(s) will exhibit the work at VALISE Gallery.  An important part of this project is community involvement.  The artist(s) will welcome the public into the gallery on Saturdays and one weekday while the work is being created, and conduct at least one community event once the exhibition is installed.
Your work at VALISE will be supported by the collective.  As needed, we will assist you with ideas, expertise in constructing installations, curating and hanging, and public relations and media outreach.  We will also provide accommodations and a small stipend.
We are looking for art and artists not often shown on Vashon Island.  These could include video, performance, sound art, collaborative art projects executed by young artists, emerging or non-visual artists.  Do not, however, be constrained by these ideas.  We are less interested in limitations.  If you do not fit into these categories, but have an amazing idea, we are very interested.
