Residency Program
The Resident Artist Program has been created to provide opportunities for a blend of recent graduates of arts and design institutions, as well as mid-career artists, to create, explore, learn and exchange ideas and insights, within a multi-disciplinary environment.
Operating within a facility that offers a diverse choice of performing and visual arts programs, patrons of all ages enjoy a line-up of musicians and artists, and opportunities for hands-on creative expression in a professional arts environment. This marriage between visual and performing arts, community education and professional art practice provides a valued and unique atmosphere for emerging artists.
According to past resident artist Andrea Marcus, “It is not just the combination of artforms, but the possibility to connect and interact with so many people, visual artists, performing artists, businesses, and the general public that creates a wide scope of opportunity.”
Professional development activities include participating in exhibitions, teaching and assisting opportunities as well selling work in the gift shop and contributing to special events and festivals.

RENCONTRES ARTISTIQUES DE CHAILLOL
APPEL A PROJET ARTISTIQUE
Les projets doivent être envoyés avant le 2 Mars 2008 par courrier
Depuis six années une exposition d’art contemporain est proposée dans l’église du village de Saint Michel de Chaillol, au cœur du Champsaur, en bordure du parc national des écrins, dans les Hautes Alpes.
En 2008, la sixième année de présence, les RENCONTRES ARTISTIQUES DE CHAILLOL sont organisées par la communauté de communes du Champsaur, acteur institutionnel porteur de projets culturel
L’organisation de cet événement est confié par la communauté de communes du Champsaur pour 2009 à l’association DEVELOP’ART.
Cet événement rassemble une dizaine d’artistes autour d’une thématique qui réalisent des installations au sein de l’église et le long d’un « sentier d’art » autour du hameau, les œuvres proposées étant toutes spécifiquement créées pour cette occasion.
La proposition plastique est étoffée par d’autres propositions artistiques qui ouvrent à d’autres arts, et donnent du rythme.
– performances artistiques en direct, spectacles multimédias
– projections/débats en relation avec a thématique
– apéros/philo autour de la création artistique
L’exposition est ouverte au public pendant le mois de Juillet, rythmée par les événements associés.
CAHIER DES CHARGES
OBJECTIFS
– promotion du territoire au travers de l’art contemporain
– mise en relation des œuvres avec un public qui ne se confronte pas régulièrement à l’art contemporain
– en retour, mise en relation d’un public avec le milieu rural environnant
– mise en relation des artistes avec un public
– mise en relation des artistes avec le territoire rural environnant et ses habitants
MOYENS
– exposition collective thématique temporaire de travaux originaux crées pour cet événement, à l’église et présentation d’œuvres « insitu »autour du hameau de St Michel de CHAILLOL sur un « sentier d’art »
– moments privilégiés de rencontre Public/Artistes
La proposition artistique : une exposition collective rassemblant des propositions individuelles spécifiquement créées pour cet événement s’agrégeant autour d’un thème unique, se décale des « rassemblements » d’œuvres ou d’artistes trop souvent proposés.
L’implication des artistes est, de par l’obligation de proposer une œuvre spécifiquement créée, très forte.
Le travail individuel est conduit collectivement, par des contacts entre les artistes, permettant les influences réciproques.
Les contacts avec les résidents, la présence des artistes avant et pendant l’exposition, permettent des échanges et des rencontres bénéfiques au sein du territoire et dans le respect de son identité.
L’ambition est de toucher un public large, de « donner à voir » et susciter des réactions, par la présence des auteurs, la mise en place de « moments privilégiés » de rencontre, la mise à disposition de documents de présentation des artistes et des travaux exposés.
Ces actions, dans un lieu inattendu, fortement ancré dans le milieu rural montagnard, concourent à la « désacralisation » du travail artistique et accompagnent le visiteur.
Le programme de travail proposé se décline en plusieurs temps auxquels les artistes sont associés :
– la présentation de la thématique et des artistes :
L’objectif est de susciter un échange autour de la thématique, ainsi qu’une mise en relation des artistes entre eux.
– le travail individuel :
Le travail créatif propre à chacun.
– le travail collectif :
L’organisation met en place une « résidence » d’une semaine au cours du mois de Mai, les œuvres sont réalisées au cours de cette résidence.
Cette phase est initiée et souhaitée pour permettre une cohérence de l’exposition et s’est avérée pour les participants précédents, très enrichissante.
– la présentation des travaux et des démarches aux habitants/bénévoles de Chaillol :
Au moment de la résidence, on sollicite les artistes pour expliquer aux habitants/bénévoles de Chaillol les tenants et aboutissants de leur travail. Ce contact apporte aux habitants intéressés une proximité avec le fait artistique, et aux bénévoles une meilleure compréhension des travaux qu’ils pourront être amenés à commenter au public lors des visites qu’ils assureront.
– la présence pendant l’exposition :
Pendant la durée de l’exposition à l’église de St Michel de Chaillol, la présence des artistes est souhaitée, en fonction de leurs disponibilités, afin d’amplifier la lecture des travaux par le visiteur.
LES CONDITIONS :
– la production artistique exposée reste propriété des auteurs.
– les droits de ces productions sont acquis aux Rencontres Artistiques de Chaillol pour la durée de l’exposition.
– la reproduction à usage de communication des œuvres est acquise aux Rencontres Artistiques de Chaillol pour la promotion de l’évènement.
– Le défraiement des artistes est assuré par la communauté de communes du Champsaur pour une somme forfaitaire individuelle de 500€.
– ce défraiement correspond à toutes les dépenses individuelles liées à la création, au transport, à l’installation et au démontage du travail artistique présenté, ainsi qu’aux frais de déplacement de l’artiste.
– L’hébergement est pris en charge sur la base de la mise à disposition d’un logement collectif pour l’ensemble des artistes sur une semaine pendant la résidence du mois de Mai.
– La présence au moment du vernissage est souhaitée, en fonction des possibilités.
THEMATIQUE 2009 proposée aux artistes
RE-GARDER
«conserver, fixer a nouveau, savoir observer ce qui reste, regarder l’existant et le nouveau, le territoire fixe et les nouveautés implantées… »
«y regarder à deux fois, l’histoire, la ré-exploration, le ressouvenir, l’investissement de la tradition revisitée et non seulement préservée »
La lecture, qu’elle soit celle des textes ou des paysages contraint à ce retour sur l’objet, le substrat, voire n’y suffit passet l’artiste dont un des rôles et de renouveler le « regard » sur le monde à ainsi pour tache de nous y amener à y regarder à deux fois.
Ces notions, mêmes fortement connotées au territoire qui sera l’hôte des œuvres, n’excluent pas -au contraire- une lecture urbaine contemporaine de celles-ci.
LIEU D’EXPOSITION
Eglise de Saint Michel de Chaillol, espace dé consacré, dimensions env 20 x 8 m au sol, hauteur env 9m.
Ce site devra être investi totalement par un seul artiste, nous nous réservons la possibilité de faire cohabiter deux installations dans l’église (en accord avec les artistes).
Installations « in situ »à l’extérieur de l’église, le long d’un «sentier d’art » (voir la carte de localisation).
ENVOI DES PROJETS
Les projets doivent être envoyés avant le 2 Mars 2008 par courrier, et comporter :
– un dossier de présentation
– le projet artistique proprement dit
– dans le projet artistique, doit être précisé une estimation des besoins en fourniture nécessaire à la réalisation de l’œuvre, ainsi que les moyens extérieurs nécessaires (main d’œuvre d’assistance ou autres moyens à préciser)
– la localisation souhaitée sur le parcours ou dans l’église pour l’œuvre proposée (si aucun lieu précis n’est souhaité, le préciser néanmoins)
Tous les supports artistiques sont acceptés.

Milano Film Festival: Call to Documentary Filmmakers, Deadline
Apr. 15
State (T)error was first organized in 2005 as an out-of-competition section at Milano Film
Festival. It reflected the will to tell and show authentic stories, to present documentaries
depicting a complex pattern of injustices and crimes committed by .democratic. governments
and by the system of powers; it reported how governments cloak with concepts like freedom,
safety, and peace a precise strategy of terror and violence, of speculation and war, resulting in
wealth for few and misery for entire countries. September 11th-20th 2009
These stories expose the complicity of the media with the system of powers and in manipulating
the public opinion through doctored news reports. They expose the lie of a “war on terror” that
avails itself of terror strategies against civilians, causing millions of people to die or be displaced,
only to control resources and areas of strategic importance.
These documentaries show the policies of multinational companies, that have now got to rule
the world: the race for the privatization of natural resources, such as water and energy, that
belong to everyone; the management of the most important industrial branches (the war,
pharmaceutical, agricultural, and building industries), only acting in their own interest, and
aiming at increasing profits that many governments eventually share. These policies create a
deep unbalance in the relationships between countries, and threaten the survival of all of us.
They are the source of wars, hunger, illnesses, and environmental catastrophes.
Incessant advertising persuades people of the utter importance of buying things in the name of
wealth, often creating a non-existent need and inducing unrestrained consumerism, addiction,
and ultimately the inability of consumers to overcome or fight against this mechanism.
These documentaries report the accounts of immigrants, their dramatic travels, life in their
countries of origin and of adoption; they report how they fear us, and how we fear them. They
report of work deaths, brought about by the lack of basic safety conditions and tolerated with
such indifference on the part of people responsible; they report of the militarization of cities, of
nuclear power stations, of the compulsory tax destined for military spend, of soldiers armed for
peace missions, of religious and political fundamentalism, and of violence against women.
But they also report of encouraging stories of groups and peoples who have successfully fought
oppression and injustices.
For the fifth edition of State (T)error we are looking for these stories, and for many more.

Founded in 2004 by a group of local visionaries, the HUB-BUB Artist-in-Residence Program provides three pre-professional and emerging young visual artists and one creative writer the opportunity to “live free and create” for 11-months in downtown Spartanburg, SC.
Each artist is provided with a large studio apartment that is located above The Showroom (HUB-BUB’s gallery and performance space) and a bi-monthly stipend of $300 in exchange for 15-20 hours a week of work helping out with HUB-BUB duties and getting involved in community based art projects. HUB-BUB duties include setting up and bartending for concerts, keeping a regular HUB-BUB blog, hanging art shows, helping with fundraisers, assisting in gallery maintenance and more. Community projects may include collaborating with other local non-profits, initiating community art projects, participating in open-to-the-public studio time and other creative charity work. Residents will also be encouraged to donate a piece of work to HUB-BUB for archival purposes. The writer-in-residence additionally will serve as an apprentice with the award-winning Hub City Writers Project , an independent press and literary arts organization.
All residents will be between the ages of 20 and 35 upon application. The ideal candidates for this program are challenging, progressive artists who are self-directed, motivated, and passionate about creating new art. Our facilities will limit certain applicants like welders, potters, and glass artists who require excessive space or special tools. The live/work spaces will be best suited to artists who work in genres which do not require major equipment, such as (but not limited to) painters, bookmakers, paper artists, filmmakers and computer artists. Photographers are welcome to apply; however there is no dark-room facility in the complex. Artists are responsible for all equipment that they do require (ie. Film artists must provide editing equipment, etc.).
The artists will have an opportunity to showcase and sell their work in our gallery space during their stay, with special gala events highlighting both their existing work at the beginning of their residency and their new work at the end of it.
The next residency will begin June 1, 2009 and to end April 30, 2010. Each residence is worth approximately $20,000, as all Artists-in-Residence will have rent and utilities underwritten for the full 11 months plus be paid a stipend for their work with either HUB-BUB.COM or The Hub City Writers Project.

International – LGBTQI Artists
National Queer Arts Festival 2009
SomArts Gallery, San Francisco
THREADS

Deadline for submissions: February 14, 2009
All Media including video, installation, net art, performance, costume, fashion event

Queerness weaves the threads of our physical, social and moral existence together into a multi-dimensional fabric of community and our selves.
As queer artists we continue to create complex identities and imagine new modes of address through a myriad of queer tactics, textures and sensibilities.
What are the threads that bind, mend and sometimes unravel this spectacular fabric of queer art? How does this queerness operate? How does it present itself? How do we fashion, perform, subvert or display queerness in our art and lives?
We hope to explore these themes in art in all mediums that incorporate (in the broadest sense of these ideas): sewing, knitting, weaving, braiding, binding, knotting, textiles, quilting, patchwork, costuming, fashion and fashion events, drag, second skins, performance art, woven texts, blogs, digital networks and communities.
THREADS curatorial committee includes: Tirza Latimer, Rudy Lemcke, Matt McKinley, Pamela Peniston, Allison Smith, and Tina Takemoto.
