Opportunity: Artist in residence in Chicago

Lillstreet Art Center of Chicago is accepting applications for its next year-long artist-in-residence program. The Fiber Arts Calls for Entry blog says,

Lillstreet Art Center offers Artist Residencies in all departments and encourages interdisciplinary work.

Residencies includes work space in our classroom studios, free classes, learning and teaching opportunities, basic materials & firings, and a monthly stipend for additional materials or personal use.

Residents are expected to be present and at work in their department for 20 hours per week. When in the studio, residents are expected to be available to work and interact with students and artists while working on their own artwork. Residents are expected to perform up to eight hours of work for the department on a weekly basis (specific tasks vary by department but may include tasks such as kiln loading, inventory control, teaching assistance, etc…). The Artist-in-Residence Program will begin September 1st and end August 30th.

To be considered for the Lillstreet Artist-in-Residence Program, your application must be submitted on-line by June 1st, 2012.
