Please send an SASE with your submission if you wish to get it back (no metered mail), otherwise your materials will be recycled. These details are important—any submissions that don't include all requested information will not be considered.

Final decisions will be made by December 20, 2006. If your work is selected, you will be contacted by email only. We'll need the screening copy of your work in hand by January 12, 2007.

PROJECT
Holiday in,
The Contemporary Art Centre (CAC), Vilnius, / Gasworks, London / triangle france, Marseille
Deadline : 20 December 2006


Call for Proposals
This unique package includes all expenses paid travel around Britain, France or Lithuania; and all exhibitions in each art centre.

Now-January 2007
Artists from France, Lithuania, and the UK are invited to propose a threemonth trip touring one of the participating countries other than their own, using the host organisation as a studio base while ‘touring’ the country. Please note that artists visiting Lithuania can include countries in the surrounding area such as Latvia, Estonia and neighbouring Poland, Belarus and Kaliningrad, in their area of research. The deadline for this is 20 December 2006. The host organisations will then offer a ‘tour package’ that facilitates the project. This ‘package’ includes: all travel costs, support for production, a studio, sustenance fees, an exhibition in each partner’s country, and a publication.

March-May 2007
Six travel projects, two in each country, will be completed in total. Between April and July 2007 the artists will conduct their research and travel, working in liaison with their host venues. They will complete a weblog with images and texts about their experiences, forging a contact with the other travelling artists and creating a critical dialogue as the project unfolds.

June-August 2007
Artists will prepare and finalise work for three exhibitions, each taking place two weeks apart at the different host venues. Artists will be supported in the production of work for three different exhibitions (one in each venue), scheduled to open in September 2007. The three exhibitions will be conceived as part of a critical whole formed by Holiday in and will feature works by all participating artists; however, each exhibition will also function individually, providing a different facet of the entire project. For the opening of the first exhibition, a publication in the three languages will be produced, drawing from the discussions in the weblogs, and including images of works in progress and critical texts.
The exhibitions will be accompanied by a series of lectures given by the participating artists and invited speakers, allowing them to recount their journeys and discuss their experiences.

Seeking applications from emerging artists of any age working in any media for summer residency program. Free studio, subsidized living space, show/performance presenting completed proposal at end of residency. Application fee.

For more info, please contact: Melissa Hogan, melissa.hogan@gmail.com

The Artist Residency Program (AIR) is a highly selective and intensive three-month artist residency at the Department of Safety. At the end of your residency your work will be shown in the Department of Safety’s art gallery, in the Department of Safety performance venue, or in the greater Department of Safety space. You will also acquire undeniably positive experience organizing and promoting your art exhibit/performance.

The Department of Safety (DoS) is located in Anacortes, Washington (also known as the “gateway” to the popular San Juan Islands), 1 hour north of Seattle and 1.5 hours south of Vancouver, BC. Anacortes is surrounded by beautiful lakes, mountains, oceans, islands, Orca whales, and publicly- employed “safety personnel.” In addition to it’s beautiful location the DoS is an amazing all-ages music venue, art gallery, recording studio and multi- purpose art space.  Four artists founded the Department of Safety in 2002. Due to the unique location, facilities, demographic and ideology, the Department of Safety continues to thrive as one of North America’s most intriguing live-in artist-run centers. The Department of Safety is not a Non- Profit entity. It is funded entirely by those who believe in the project.

The Department of Safety is located in a previously abandoned fire and police station that was initially built in 1952. Multiple artists live in and use the facilities on a daily basis. Kitchen facilities, the interweb and other communication devices, showers, and “chill rooms” domesticate the space on the top floor. On the main floor there is a recording studio, the large performance space, an art gallery, a black & white darkroom and a personal studios/offices. A floor plan of the art gallery is included with this application. Artists who are chosen as residents at the Department of Safety are encouraged to create work within the confines of the gallery in a site- specific installation and/or work in the adjacent spaces and/or in the community of Anacortes. Any thoughtful use of space and community will be considered and it is important for applicants to understand the context for which they are creating. This is not to discourage traditional art practitioners from applying, but we want individuals to think about context.
