Ox-Bow Centennial Artist in Residence Contest
In 2010, Ox-Bow will celebrate 100 years as a school of art and artists' residency. As part of the year-ling celebration, Ox-Bow will offer three artists two-week residencies during the early part of the 2010 summer session. Centennial Residents will receive a private studio, room and board, as well as a $1000 stipend to be used towards expenses. The residencies will take place in two-week shifts from early June until early July, culminating in an exhibition of all Centennial Residents' work in one of Ox-Bow's galleries. The exhibition will open on the evening of the 2010 Summer Benefit, which will serve as the kick-off for a year-long celebration of Ox-Bow's history and legacy. Centennial Residents will be asked to donate one piece of work completed during the residency to be auctioned off at the benefit. All those applying for a two-week residency will be considered for this award.
Applicants will be notified of their residency and any accompanying financial aid within three weeks of the application due dates. Application materials are not returned unless submitted materials include analog slides or VHS/cassette recordings.
