The Orange Art Center (OAC) is launching its first-ever residency program with the OAC Emerging Artist Residency starting this Spring! This program aims to support the artistic and professional development of early-career visual artists in NE Ohio. The 4-week residency period is designed for the emerging artist to develop and/or begin a body of work not yet shown in a gallery setting. With access to our studios, professional development resources, and mentorship resources, each emerging artist resident will have the support and dedicated space they need to lead to their very own solo exhibition to be shared here at the Orange Art Center.
In addition, this program offers the community the opportunity to engage with a local professional artist early in their career! The community will be able to visit the artist for studio visits, attend artist-led workshops and/or artist talks during the residency period, and see a professional artist working in real time!
Benefits of the residency include:
Access to the Orange Art Center’s Painting and Ceramics Studio including equipment during operating hours.
Temporary storage for artwork and supplies
A solo exhibition in the Orange Art Center's unique gallery space
An artist talk event and/or workshop led by the resident
Access to professional development mentorship and resources
The residency application closes on February 14 at noon!
