(A) Pilchuck Glass School / Emerging Artist in Residence / Call for Applications
The Emerging Artist in Residence (EAiR) program at Pilchuck Glass School supports artists making the transition from the academic environment to professional careers. Whether they have been out of school for a few years or are at an early stage in their careers, artists may find this independent residency ideal for contemplation, research, and experimentation. This residency provides artists with a place and the time to develop a particular idea or project with glass, with the potential for realizing a new body of work or way of working.
Since the EAiR program is an independent artist’s residency, some glassmaking experience is required, as no instruction is available. Residents have access to many Pilchuck studios, including the glass-plate printmaking (vitreography) studio; plaster studio; fusing, slumping, and casting kilns; flameworking torch; and coldworking equipment. The eight-week autumn residency for six artists includes a US$1,000 per artist stipend, studio space, shared cooking facilities, and a single room in a cottage with shared bath. Materials, instruction, food, and travel reimbursement are not provided.
