Description

About 300 artists in seven disciplines are awarded fellowships each year and the sole criterion for acceptance is artistic excellence. There are no residency fees. Need-based travel grants and stipends are available to open the residency experience to the broadest possible community of artists. Artists with professional standing in their fields, as well as emerging artists, are eligible to apply. MacDowell encourages artists from all backgrounds and all countries in the following disciplines: architecture, film/video arts, interdisciplinary arts, literature, music composition, theatre, and visual arts. Any applicant whose proposed project does not fall clearly within one of these artistic disciplines should contact the admissions department for guidance. We aim to be inclusive, not exclusive in our admissions process.

Description

Located on the sixth floor of the Museum and open to the public, the Artist Studios at MAD is a community engagement and professional development program for contemporary artists and designers. The first museum residency of its kind, the program encourages visitor engagement with Artist Studios Residents as they expand their creative practice while working on site at MAD. Two artists are selected for six-month sessions (August—February or February—August), for which they receive access to studio space in the Museum and a stipend. Open studio hours are held Wednesday 11 am to 7 pm, and Thursday through Saturday from 10:30 am to 5:30 pm. During that time, the artists welcome Museum visitors inside their workspaces for conversation and close looking.

Description

Through the SPORELATION@MY-CO BUILD artist-in-residence program, the Collaborative Research Centre “MY-CO BUILD: Biomanufacturing, Characterisation and Sustainability Assessment of Fungal-Based Building Materials” invites artists to explore the research questions of our consortium from an artistic perspective. The starting points include topics such as:

• Mycelium as a living material,
• Material cycles, transformation, and sustainability,
• Biological processes as design partners,
• Architecture and organic systems,
• Human and non-human actors,
• The future of construction in the context of ecological challenges.
These themes serve as inspiration. Applications may freely interpret these questions or develop new questions and explore them from various artistic perspectives.
