successful applications for residencies.

00:00:16.916 --> 00:00:17.851
I'll show you how to write

00:00:17.851 --> 00:00:19.152

00:00:19.152 --> 00:00:20.787
for a residency.

00:00:20.787 --> 00:00:21.688
Which key questions

00:00:21.688 --> 00:00:23.857
your proposal should answer.

00:00:23.857 --> 00:00:26.526
How the jury review process works.

00:00:26.526 --> 00:00:27.827
How the jury selects artists

00:00:27.827 --> 00:00:29.462
for a residency.

What a reference letter

00:00:37.771 --> 00:00:38.872
should consist of,

00:00:38.872 --> 00:00:41.574
and who should you ask to write one.

00:00:41.574 --> 00:00:43.143
And how to make the layout

00:00:43.143 --> 00:00:45.745
of your application stand out.

00:00:45.745 --> 00:00:46.413
In order to build

00:00:46.413 --> 00:00:48.581
the most comprehensive course possible

00:00:48.581 --> 00:00:49.315
we've spoken

00:00:49.315 --> 00:00:50.817
to many jury members,

00:00:50.817 --> 00:00:52.485
directors of residencies,

00:00:52.485 --> 00:00:54.721
artists and writers.

00:00:54.721 --> 00:00:55.722
Based on our findings

00:00:55.722 --> 00:00:57.057
from these discussions,

00:00:57.057 --> 00:00:59.192
we developed this online video course,

00:00:59.192 --> 00:01:00.360
which is organized as

00:01:00.360 --> 00:01:01.561
a step-by-step guide.

00:01:02.695 --> 00:01:03.296
I'm Jordie Oetken,

00:01:03.296 --> 00:01:05.665
an artist based in Los Angeles.

00:01:06.332 --> 00:01:07.267
Throughout my career,

00:01:07.267 --> 00:01:08.268
I've held residencies

00:01:08.268 --> 00:01:09.269
at the Skowhegan School

00:01:09.269 --> 00:01:10.970

00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:14.707
Studio Center,

00:01:14.707 --> 00:01:17.310
and the Yale Norfolk School of Art.

00:01:17.310 --> 00:01:18.578
My time at these residencies

00:01:18.578 --> 00:01:19.779
was supported by various

00:01:19.779 --> 00:01:21.247
grants and fellowships,

00:01:21.247 --> 00:01:23.983
as have been many of my other projects.

00:01:23.983 --> 00:01:25.685
I'll take you through this course,

00:01:25.685 --> 00:01:27.253
which will show you everything you need

00:01:27.253 --> 00:01:28.054
to build strong

00:01:28.054 --> 00:01:31.324
applications for residencies.
