The Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts Fall 2018 Artist-in-Residence

The Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts is now accepting applications for the Artist-in-Residence Program occurring September 19–November 16, 2018. The application deadline is December 15, 2017. National and international artists of all backgrounds and areas of practice are encouraged to apply. Selected artists-in-residence enjoy generous sized, private live/work studios complete with kitchen and bathroom. Located in downtown Omaha’s historic Old Market, the Bemis Center\’s 110,000 square foot facility accommodates a broad range of artistic activity. Artists-in-residence have 24-hour access to extensive installation and production spaces and the Okada Sculpture & Ceramics Facility, a 9,000 square foot industrial space used for large-scale sculpture fabrication. This independently-driven atmosphere and communal environment encourage creative growth and experimentation to confront new challenges. This is a process-based residency; there is no expectation or promise of an exhibition in our first-floor galleries. Artists-in-residence receive a $750 monthly stipend to help with materials, supplies and living expenses while in residency. An unrestricted $500 travel stipend is also provided. Additional provided resources: http://www.bemiscenter.org/residency/facilities.html Artists-in-residence participate in the Bemis Center’s Open House / Open Studios public program where they open their studios to provide attendees a glimpse into their process, present works-in-progress, and deliver a short presentation.
