SANTA FE ART INSTITUTE--2024 SOVEREIGNTY RESIDENCY
“To be sovereign is to not be subject to another’s authority, another’s desires, or another’s gaze but rather to be the author of one’s own history.” – Simone Leigh
“Liberty without responsibility is not real liberty.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
Sovereignty, the theme for the 2024 SFAI International Thematic Residency, calls for an artistic and creative engagement at the multiple intersections of sovereignty as it pertains to the individual, jurisdictions, systems, and society as a whole.
SFAI supports the expression of differing perspectives regarding the role of the artist, creative practitioner, and culture bearer in shaping and being shaped by social and political conditions. As the US Supreme Court and other international political bodies in the world debate, restrict, and claim autonomy over the body, community, and the ability to self-govern, we seek proposals that articulate a response as a creative call to action and challenge imperial and colonial concepts of sovereignty that have laid claim to land and personhood.
All fees are waived for the 2024 International Thematic Residency program.

Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program
Well known by visual artists as the "Gift of Time", the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program was established in 1967 to provide gifted studio-based visual artists with the unique opportunity to concentrate on their work in a supportive, collegial environment for an entire year. This gift of time allows artists to work without distraction in an effort to break new ground and focus on individual goals. The Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program’s interest is in strengthening the vitality of the visual art in New Mexico and has been a catalyst in broadening community understanding of contemporary art for over fifty years.
SUPPORT
Professional visual artists 21 years of age or older, involved in painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, photography, video, digital media and installation are invited to apply. Grants are not made in the disciplines of performance art, writing, music or production crafts.
ACCOMMODATIONS
The studios are large, open spaces that measure approximately 30 'x 25 'x 10'. These areas are well-lighted and convertible to the artist's requirements. Artists are housed in a complex of six houses and 8 studios located on fifty acres of land. Each artist is provided with a house that can amply accommodate either a single person or a family. Rent, utilities (except telephone), repairs and maintenance costs are borne by the Program. Houses are furnished with major furniture items, appliances, and utensils within reason. The compound also has specialty workshops: printmaking studio (stone litho/etching), digital media room, woodshop, welding shop, and ceramics studio. Residents have full use of these facilities and are expected to help maintain them.
STIPEND
A stipend of $1100 per month is offered along with $100 for a spouse/partner living with the grantee. An additional $100 stipend for each child living with the grantee is provided by the Sustainable Arts Foundation.
An additional stipend of $250 per month for artists' materials has been generously provided by the Fredrick Hammersley Foundation.

Bandelier National Monument--Artist-in-Residence program
The Artist-in-Residence program at Bandelier National Monument offers professional writers, composers and visual and performing artists the opportunity to pursue their artistic discipline in the park’s inspiring and stimulating environment. Artists are selected by a jury of professionals from diverse artistic disciplines based solely on the quality of that year’s applicants’ presentations from all disciplines. However, in any given year, the park may choose to stipulate (or limit) the disciplines from which it accepts applications, based on compatibility with current programming objectives and needs.
Selected artists stay in an historic, Pueblo-style furnished residential facility for four weeks during the period from September 1 through mid-December 2022. No application fee is required and no stipend is provided. https://www.nps.gov/band/air.htm March Deadline
