Jobbeschreibung

Adirondack Experience: Artist-in-Residence Programme 2027 (USA)

In 2027, the Adirondack Experience, The Museum on Blue Mountain Lake (ADKX), USA, will be offering four one-month residencies for artists, scheduled consecutively in June, July, August, and September 2027.

During the residency, the artist will focus on creating their own body of work within the public areas of the museum grounds at least three days per week. The intention of the time during public hours is for artists to spend time pursuing their own creative works, inspired by the natural areas that comprise and surround the museum's campus as well as key objects and stories within the collection. Artists should plan to be in the public areas a minimum of 6 hours a day. Interactions with the public are intended to be short and informal, and to introduce museum visitors to the artist and the artistic process.

Each artist will also spend two days each week (10am-4:30pm) in the museum's Art Lab (makerspace), working on their own creations at their leisure and guiding drop-in participatory activities for visitors based upon the artist's own creative style. Art Lab participatory activities must be designed for visitors to take home with them, and be able to be completed in a relatively short period of time (minimum of 5 minutes). The allowance for Art Lab materials for each artist is 250 USD.

The artists-in-residence will also have the opportunity to coordinate with ADKX's curatorial staff to have a limited amount of time in the collection storage areas to study, sketch, and document works in the collection.

The museum is in a very rural area and there is no public transportation, uber services, or amenities within a close distance. Having a car is not a requirement, but the museum is very isolated for anyone without ready access to transportation. Museum staff provide a weekly shuttle to nearby grocery stores and pharmacies.

A 5,000 USD stipend for the duration of the residency and 500 USD travel allowance is provided. Artists are expected to provide their own materials, with the exception of those used for the Art Lab activity. On-site housing is provided at no cost.
