Railyard Art Project

Community Artists, Designers and Innovators:

The Railyard Art Committee (RAC) invites both individuals and creative teams to propose visual and performing art projects that are vital, lively and experimental for temporary installation within the Railyard Park + Plaza.

RAC will select thoughtful, playful art in the context of social, cultural expression and environmental sustainability.  Such issues may include – but are not limited – cultural heritage, site history, ecological restoration, and the building of a sustainable future.  Most importantly, projects should emphasize community enjoyment, engagement and participation.

The Railyard Park + Plaza was designed as a Cohesive Urban Art Environment and is a work of art in itself.  RAC encourages a continuation of the collaborative spirit that remains at it’s core.  Joint efforts across disciplines — artists, designers, scientists, historians, hydrologists, and many more — will be welcomed interactions with the original design.

All applications for installations, artworks and performances of a temporary nature that comply with the usage policies of the Railyard Park + Plaza are welcome. A limited number of honoraria, up to $500, are available in 2014 for exemplary projects. Ongoing.

The Jam Stand: sound/music residency

The Jam Stand is a sound/music residency based along the Rio Grande valley south of Albuquerque.  Every year, participants are chosen to come out for up to two weeks and work independently towards personal growth and development in the Jam Stand studio.  This is time for artists to explore, strengthen and expand skill sets and to take some time to get back to the roots of their audiological expression.  We hope that this time helps sound artists and musicians to move toward their goals or re-orient.  We believe that giving artists time an space to work is one of the most valuable gifts and hope to continue sharing these resources.   Each resident is filmed during their stay and a video produced looking behind the scenes at their process and some of the sounds they made while at the Jam Stand.

Vital Spaces: Art Studios

Vital Spaces is excited to announce their first Open Call for artist applications to their studio spaces on Otero Street in downtown Santa Fe. Vital Spaces is a Santa Fe based initiative whose mission is to transform unused real estate into spaces for artists to create, present, and connect.

Artists are invited to apply for affordable studio space as well as opportunities to display any variety of art including performance, installation, dance and poetry. What we can offer artists depends upon which buildings we are currently occupying. Vital Spaces takes advantage of any vacancy in our city and thus has rotating locations ranging from prominent downtown locations to less trafficked studio spaces in other parts of town. We offer artists the opportunity to present work to their peers, the public and engage with the diverse arts community. This program will provide opportunities for artists by opening up new possibilities, new audiences and directions in the production of their work. Artists will have the opportunity to present their work to their peers, the public and engage with the diverse arts community. Learn more: https://www.vitalspaces.org/apply

Helene Wurlitzer Foundation Residency

wurlitzerfoundation.org

Deadline: January 18, 2023 

Founded in 1954, the HWF manages one of the oldest artist residency programs in the USA. The Foundation’s mission is to “Support the artist and the creative process” and serves as a haven for visual artists, literary artists and music composers. The Helene Wurlitzer Foundation is located on fifteen acres in the heart of Taos, New Mexico, a multicultural community renowned for its popularity with artists. The Foundation offers three months of rent-free and utility-paid housing to people who specialize in the creative arts. Our eleven artist casitas, or guest houses, are fully furnished and provide residents with a peaceful setting in which to pursue their creative endeavors. The Foundation accepts applications from painters, poets, sculptors, writers, playwrights, screenwriters, composers, photographers, and filmmakers of national and international origin. Applications are reviewed by a selection committee consisting of professionals who specialize in the artistic discipline of the applicant. Numerous jurors serve on committees for each: visual arts, music composers, writers, poets, playwrights, and filmmakers. Jurors, who know nothing about the artist’s demographics, score in five categories based purely on the merit of the applicant’s creative work samples. Artists in residence have no imposed expectations, quotas, or requirements during their stay on the HWF campus. The HWF’s residency program provides artists with the time and space to create, which in turn enriches the artistic community and culture locally and abroad. https://wurlitzerfoundation.org/apply
