To read the rest of this article, please click on the link below: Brandywine Visiting Artists Fellowships, Regional and Young Artists in Residence The Visiting Artist/ Artist in Residence program is a series of short-term residencies (one-two weeks maximum) for talented visual artists in the production of limited edition original lithographs using a Dufa flat –bed offset press and the secondary option of silkscreen and relief printing. The master printer assists artists. Travel and accommodations are provided by Brandywine. Artists receive one-half of each edition produced, which do not exceed 100. An Artist Advisory Committee reviews the submitted applications and based upon available funding, recommends the top candidates. Notification can take up to six months. Visiting Artists Until further notice, Brandywine is unable to accept new applications. This is due reductions in funding and an organizational emphasis on artist selection based on specific themes designed to create new work that would augment gallery exhibition programs. Brandywine is preparing an initiative to attract applications from young minority artists from diverse backgrounds and geographic locations. Regional and Young Artist in Residence Due to budget cutbacks, Brandywine will only accept new applications for local artists. If you live in the Philadelphia area and do not require travel and accommodations, you can apply. Please submit 10 images, a resume and brief statement of what your project would be. Residencies may extend to two- months for those unable to spend consecutive days on- site. We are organizing our Fall 2010- Summer 2011 Schedule and would consider you, if approved, for a slot during that time period. You should suggest a time slot that would be most attractive for you. Allow 6-8 weeks for a response. Mail your information to Brandywine Workshop 728 S. Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19146.
Brandywine announces the Arts4OurSake networking community for urban high school students. The Brandywine Workshop wishes to build a cyber community of high school students nationally, especially those in large urban school districts. Our goal is to address a need for dialogue and peer-to-peer mentoring/ assessments centered on their art and career aspirations. In particular, Brandywine is proceeding on a theory that many minority art students in urban districts are without the benefit of professional role models/mentors and exposure to successful artists, architects, graphic and fashion designers, and creatives in visual media (film, video,digital graphics). We are assisted in this effort by members of the creative collective Apogee@brandywineworkshop. Check out our current video documentation project on Nutrition at https://brandywineworkshopstudents.wordpress.com This lack of access and limited knowledge of the cultural contributions and achievements of people of diverse ethnic backgrounds sets artificial limits on students ability to use their passion and talents to plan a career in the creative economy. Arts4OurSake is an initiative of Brandywine to address the need for mentoring and exposure across generations to ensure greater access and improve the guidance that can be offered to students (9th-12th grade). Many of the students we hope to reach and engage may be the first generation to apply to college or the first to aspire to a professional career as a visual artist or other creative profession. Brandywine is offering the following solutions to high school art students who wish to learn about training, financing, personal sacrifice, self-development, and strategies they can use to grow and have a successful career.
