Kala Art Institute, Berkeley, California. Deadline: January 31, 2010

Kala Art Institute's Artist-in-Residence program is addressed to artists working in various printmaking techniques, photo-processes, book arts and digital media including sound/video production,

Residency applications are accepted four times per year. The January 31, 2010 deadline is for 1-, 2-, or 3-month residencies starting June 2010.

Artists who apply for residency should be familiar with at least one of the media offered at Kala. Considerations for acceptance are conceptual creativity and technical knowledge. Kala encourages experimental uses of both traditional and new technologies, and their admixture.

Resident artists receive 24-hour access to the printmaking workshop and/or electronic media center; individual storage space; exhibition opportunities such as the Artists' Annual show in the Kala Gallery and possible exposure on Kala's website and in other exhibitions at Kala or outside exhibition spaces; and participation in a vital, international artistic community. Artists also receive a 20% discount on classes and private tutoring offered by Kala.

Please note that this is a studio residency only; housing is not included. Artists are responsible for finding their own housing.
