In 1993, the Islip Art Museum opened the Carriage House as a project space where contemporary artists can create and exhibit new and experimental work. Since its first season, the Carriage House has steadily expanded its programming and services to become a major cultural resource in the greater New York region.
This Studio Program takes place in the Carriage House at the Islip Art Museum. The galleries are transformed into working space during the winter months.
3 artists will be selected who wish to use the space as a studio from February though April, 2010 (3 months). Each artist will be given a large, private working area with 24-hour access to the building.
The Museum wants to give artists an opportunity to work on demanding projects that would normally be difficult to do without the space offered by the Carriage House. Be sure to write a one-page proposal (max.) describing your project and why the space offered would be beneficial to the progress or completion of such a project. During their residency, artists may use the space however they see fit; to begin work, complete work, and display it to the public, collectors, or dealers. There will be an Open-Studio at the end of the program and the Museum will cater and promote the event. Other benefits include a small catalog and at least one studio visit from a prominent person in the Arts. Each artist has an opportunity to receive a monthly stipend if selected for the residency.
Apply by December 15:
1 page (max.) proposal outlining your project and why the Carriage House would help you to realize it (VERY IMPORTANT)
If known, please indicate the number of days per week that you intend to be in the space working on your project
Up to ten images of related work (slides, printouts, or jpgs no larger than 800 pixels in any direction) or An appropriate link to your website
