About the Jerome Residency
Jerome Emerging Printmakers’ Residency at Highpoint Center for Printmaking
Application deadline has passed.
Highpoint Center for Printmaking is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the art of printmaking. Highpoint is pleased to announce three printmaking residencies for emerging artists beginning in September 2011.
General Info:
Three applicants will be chosen to become Jerome Residents at Highpoint Center for Printmaking. These artists will receive:
- Nine months of access to a fully-equipped printshop
- Technical support from residency coordinator
- Storage space for tools and paper
- Use of inks and standard shop supplies
- 50% discount on Highpoint classes and events
- Group discussions and critiques
- Group show and public opening for all artists at the end of the residency
- Digital documentation of work
- $400 for printmaking supplies
Eligibility:
The Jerome Residency program is open to emerging Minnesota printmakers who already possess basic training in traditional printmaking techniques, and can provide original examples of such work. An “emerging” artist is generally defined as an artist who shows significant potential, yet has not received a commensurate amount of professional accomplishment and recognition regardless of age or recognition in other fields. Highpoint and the Jerome Foundation reserve the right to review and determine applicant status as “emerging.”
Applicants will be judged on the artistic merit of their work, their dedication, interest, and potential in printmaking, as well as the quality and clarity of their plan for the residency. To be eligible artists must illustrate proficiency in a traditional printmaking medium (intaglio, lithography, screenprinting, monoprinting, or relief) from the past five years. Residents will be expected to observe Highpoint’s studio policies, guidelines, and etiquette. Priority will be given to artists who have had little or no opportunity to work in a professional and non-academic printshop environment. Artists may not be a student during the residency period (Sept 2011 – May 2012). Minnesota residency must be maintained during the entire program. In addition, applicants must have resided in MN continuously since June 2010 or earlier. Highpoint Center for Printmaking provides equal opportunity to all individuals regardless of race, national origin, color, sex, age, religion, sexual orientation, or disability. Artists of color are strongly encouraged to apply.
Facilities:
Highpoint is the premier community-access printmaking workshop in the Upper Midwest.
The 10,000-square-foot ADA-compliant center is fully equipped to support intaglio, relief, lithography, and screen printing.
