Hello!
Are you looking to
apply for an art residency?
If so, this course is for you.
In 16 chapters
we’ll cover
everything you need to know on
how to build
successful applications for residencies.
I'll show you how to write
a strong project proposal
for a residency.
Which key questions
your proposal should answer.
How the jury review process works.
How the jury selects artists
for a residency.
How to choose the right residency
and increase your chances.
Which works
you should include in your portfolio.
What a reference letter
should consist of,
and who should you ask to write one.
And how to make the layout
of your application stand out.
In order to build
the most comprehensive course possible
we've spoken
to many jury members,
directors of residencies,
artists and writers.
Based on our findings
from these discussions,
we developed this online video course,
which is organized as
a step-by-step guide.
I'm Jordie Oetken,
an artist based in Los Angeles.
Throughout my career,
I've held residencies
at the Skowhegan School
of Painting and Sculpture,
MacDowell, the Lighthouse Works, Vermont
Studio Center,
and the Yale Norfolk School of Art.
My time at these residencies
was supported by various
grants and fellowships,
as have been many of my other projects.
I'll take you through this course,
which will show you everything you need
to build strong
applications for residencies.
