Artist-in-Residence Grants The Center for Book Arts is pleased to continue the Artist-in-Residence Workspace Grant for New York Emerging Artists program in 2010. Up to five New York-based emerging artists will be offered space, time and support to explore the production of artist’s books and related work for a full year. The purpose of this program is to promote experimentation in book arts, thus artists from all disciplinary backgrounds are encouraged to apply. The Center especially encourages applications from artists of culturally diverse backgrounds. The award includes a $750-$1,500 cash stipend (depending on funding) plus a materials budget between $750 to $1,000 (depending on funding), 24 hour access to the Center’s printing and binding facilities for a full year, plus an individual studio space for 3 months. Artists also receive approximately $3,000-$5,000 tuition waiver for courses throughout the year, planned in conjunction with the staff. Experienced printers and bookbinders will be available to advise the artists on issues of materials and techniques as they arise. An exhibition of the artist’s work produced at the Center during their residency will be presented as part of CBA’s Featured Artist Series exhibition series in the following year. Other possible opportunities to present work to the public include a lecture/performance at the Center. Artists are invited to submit applications postmarked by October 1, 2009 for the 2010 program. This program is for New York artists only. There is no application fee.

Book Arts Residency in North Carolina
Interlude Edition's Artist-in-Residence Program, Asheville, NC
Artists working in the book form often lack space, equipment, creative resources, and dedicated time to create their work. Creating an edition (multiple handcrafted copies) of their work is an even greater challenge, yet editioning is one of the best ways for book artists to introduce their work more broadly to the community. Interlude Editions was established in 2007 to provide residencies of up to three months to artists working in the field of the book arts who wish to create limited editions of artists’ books and fine prints for education, exhibition, and distribution. Residencies take place at Asheville BookWorks (www.ashevillebookworks.com), a community resource center for print and book arts in Asheville, North Carolina. Interlude Editions provides Resident Artists with studio space and use of equipment at BookWorks, as well as a small stipend of up to $1000 to facilitate their work. Residencies are available to emerging, mid-career, and established artists. Collaborators (for example, a book artist and a writer) may be accepted for residencies. However, each collaborator must submit a separate application together with a joint project proposal. Residency Periods: From 2 weeks to 12 weeks. Spring Session: February – May ; Summer: June – August; Fall Session: September – December. Application Deadlines: October 15th for all sessions.
