Raid Projects has 2 opportunities that you may be unaware of. 1. The Armory Show. Raid has a booth at the New York art fair this year (March) and we will be taking works on paper or photographs in a portfolio. If you are interested you need to send some images and a resume to us for review. If accepted we will take 2 works from each artist, maximum size of 18" x 24", unframed. There will be a $50 fee to cover expenses but if the work sells you will get 100% of the sale. The deadline for this is March 6th. 2. Artist In Residence at Raid Projects (March-June, 2004) Due to an unexpected personal problem for the selected AIR, our International Artist-In-Residence program has an open slot for the March - June period of this year. If you are interested you must send a project proposal (This should direct attention towards a body of work that the artist will develop during their stay which responds to actually being here, in some way. All genres will be considered, including writers and critics), resume and images to us ASAP. The residency will start on March 1st, 2004 and will end on June 30th. It will include a solo show which will open in the Project Space here on June 5th and will run for one month. The cost is $1000 per month ($1300 if there are 2 people) which includes a studio, a seperate bedroom and opening costs for the show. The last month is seen as an opportunity to meet with LA gallerists and curators to invite them to do studio visits, see the show and discuss future co-operation and potential exhibitions, as well as to network with other artists and critics. We will work in conjunction with the artist to help facilitate applications for funding. All flight, shipping, living and material costs are the responsibility of the artist. |
