Located on an ancient, ever-changing piece of land that inspires awe and artistry, The Farm Margaret River offers immersion in the sublime. It is both a working rural property and a home to artist studios — a place to make, explore, examine and restore.

The Farm sits amid the ancient and diverse flora of Western Australia’s South West region, an ecologically significant place of sacred caves, rugged coastline and monumental karri forests. This is the ancestral Country of the Wardandi people, a cultural group of the Noongar nation who have lived on and from this land, the rivers that run through it and the ocean it meets in harmony for tens of thousands of years.

Here, we seek to engage with and learn from our natural environment through experimental practices, creative inquiry and visual languages. We host artistic collaborations, exhibitions and funded residency programs that invite local and global artists to produce and share new works responding to this unique landscape.

The Farm comprises several studios and a workshop, providing access to both agricultural farming land and natural bushlands. Our farm enjoys rich, mineral-dense soils and is home to diverse flora and fauna. An artesian spring feeds a dam and tributary that flows to the ocean. Waves can be heard crashing along the isolated beaches nearby, and witnessed from walking tracks that wind along coastal cliffs.

Our residency program is an opportunity to experience this place and contribute to our ongoing collective learning. As nature informs our artists, our artists inform us. Together we pursue a deeper understanding of our environment and our role within it.

What is art in the 21st century? What Makes It Valuable?

The discourse on the nature of art in the 21st century has never been more intriguing. While some creators remain firmly rooted in the traditions of their craft, others boldly venture into uncharted territories, invoking a constant debate around the central question - What Is Art? What makes it valuable?

In the modern art world, it's evident that success doesn't adhere to a single style or approach. The diverse paths taken by some of the world's most renowned and affluent artists underscore the idea that every unique style of art can become valuable.

This exhibition is designed not merely to showcase art but to stimulate conversation between divergent paths within contemporary art. The aim is to prove that success in the art world is not a monolithic concept but a spectrum of possibilities, each as valid and valuable as the next.

For the grand opening of this exhibition on June 7th, we are honored to host one of the world's foremost art experts, Tabish Khan. He will share his unique insights and illuminate the nuances of contemporary art at this seminal event.

Tabish Khan stands as a pillar for democratizing art access. As a prominent art critic deeply embedded in London's art scene, he is the visual arts editor for Londonist and a staple contributor to Culture Whisper. Through his weekly top 5 exhibitions for FAD, Khan continually sheds a light on the top exhibitions to see. His dedication transcends just critiques, Khan actively supports institutions like ArtCan, City & Guilds London Art School, and Discerning Eye, championing artists and exhibitions.

Visual Arts Workshop with Josie Iselin
June 9, 2024
Sunday, 12:00 - 3:00 PM
Structure of Class: (1) 3-hour In-person session (Stevenson & Winona)
C274 • All levels

CLASS DESCRIPTION

Josie will introduce participants to cyanotype printing (an alternative photographic technique) using her vast collection of dried seaweed specimens as image-making material. Josie will introduce us to her work and how she became so entwined with the fascinating world of seaweed. You will be inspired by algae's diverse biology and ecology, learn to identify a variety of green, red, and brown seaweed, and become more aware of the importance of a healthy intertidal zone and kelp forest—all while creating beautiful blue and white cyanotypes using the power of the sun. Known for its distinctive blueprint-like images, this simple, camera-less photographic technique is the same process used by pioneering, curious, and innovative botanist and photographer Anna Atkins (British, 1799-1871). Want to bring your own specimens to identify and print with? Please do! The end results are joyous and revelatory; while making art, participants have learned about an ocean ecology they haven’t thought much about before.

MATERIALS LIST: NONE

Optional supplies: Students are welcome to bring their own specimens or objects. Students are welcome to bring a bag lunch or snack.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Josie Iselin is a visual artist, writer and designer, and the author of The Curious World of Seaweed among other books. She is co-director of Above/Below, an ocean literacy campaign that created The Mysterious World of Bull Kelp (bullkelp.info)— a deep dive web story that was released at the end of 2023. Josie has been integrating cyanotype printing with her seaweed scans for many years and constantly gains inspiration from Anna Atkins, who used the nascent photographic process of cyanotypes to document her algal findings in 1840.

A to Z Wineworks, located at their REX HILL property in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, seeks an Artist in Residence for a term beginning in Fall 2024 with a harvest experience and ending in Fall 2025 as the 2024 vintage is bottled.

The A to Z Artist in Residence program is an immersion in the seasonal life of a winery, observing and participating in the art of winemaking. The artist follows the natural cycle of a vintage, first working a harvest, then remaining involved in the life of the winery while working on their own individual art as the wine moves from grapes to glass. The Artist in Residence initially works the 2024 vintage harvest as a paid intern alongside our seasonal harvest crew and year-round winemaking and production staff. Following the conclusion of harvest, the Artist in Residence receives support from A to Z and access to staff and properties for a period of artistic reflection and creation followed by a second partial harvest experience. The residency concludes with a public showcase of some of the artist’s work through a gallery showing, lecture, reading or performance.

About the Harvest Internship
At A to Z Wineworks, harvest is intense and filled with opportunity as fruit arrives from around the state - primarily Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay, plus a cross-section of other varieties. This diversity of fruit comes from our LIVE-certified and Biodynamically farmed estate vineyards as well as from conventionally farmed locations across many different Oregon AVAs (American Viticultural Areas). The vineyard sizes range from several hundred acres to very small sites.

This paid internship position typically runs from mid-August through early November, depending on the season. We value interns who share in our company culture of working hard, working smart, and learning together. Our interns work with a team that has earned the most years of collective winemaking experience in Oregon, as well as experience that stretches from Burgundy to New Zealand. Our winemakers approach winemaking from different perspectives and they are willing to share what they know.

The internship presents a unique opportunity to learn more about winemaking on different production scales and with different stylistic goals. It provides a diverse work experience, including but not limited to, grape receival, sorting, pressing, punch downs, tank dig-outs, racking, transfers, barrel work, inoculations, wine movements, juice, must and wine additions, driving a forklift and, always, cleaning.

Harvest interns work a demanding schedule, which will almost certainly include long hours, overtime, and weekend work. The role requires the ability to stand and move for at least ten hours; to lift, bend, rotate, move, and carry up to 45 pounds over the course of the shift and on a repetitive basis, and to climb stairs, ladders and work on catwalks. We expect people to work well within a team environment and work with individuals in a respectful manner that is consistent with the company’s values.

About the Residency
Following the conclusion of the harvest, the art residency commences extending through fall 2025.
Location: The Artist in Residence will primarily work at the REX HILL property in the Willamette Valley. The artist will have access to the winery, vineyards and staff throughout the course of the residency.

Disciplines, work equipment and assistance: We are open to proposals from artists, writers and poets across all mediums and disciplines. To learn more about our current and past residents, visit our website at https://atozwineworks.com/our-company/artist-in-residence/
Support: The residency includes a monthly stipend of $800 for the duration of the residency, beginning after completion of the paid harvest internship. Depending on the medium and artist’s proposed focus, limited additional consideration may be provided in support of furnishing project materials. Housing in the winery’s onsite gatehouse can be considered for inclusion in the residency; during harvests, this housing will be shared with other interns.

Expectations of the Artist: A to Z Wineworks supports people, places, and culture. It seems especially important now to support the liberal arts that help to find ways of expanding limited vision and engaging with diverse, thoughtful perspectives that might help us grow as human beings. The artist will be expected to engage with the staff and contribute to the culture of the winery through interactions and presentations, including providing materials to feature in regular internal communications. The artist will engage with the community at the end of the residency through a public showcase of some of the year’s work in a gallery showing, lecture, reading or performance.
Application Information: Interested artists should submit the materials listed below by June 5, 2024:

• A cover letter, describing the artist’s interest in this residency
• A brief resume highlighting work history and relevant qualifications
• An artist’s biography
• A portfolio of relevant work

Interested artists may submit their application materials at: https://atozwineworks.com/artist-in-residence-2023-submissions/ and view our short film featuring the residency and past artists at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFjqByGC4VI

In 2015, the TCCID established the Town Center Community Alliance (Alliance), as a non-profit
creative placemaking partner, with the objective of enriching the CIDs integral infrastructure
projects with beautification and quality of life programs.
The Alliance takes a strategic look at creative placemaking elements that will help the CID
reach their Vision of being a dynamic region that fosters a thriving business, academic, and
residential community. While the CID primarily builds roads, multi-use trails, and sidewalks,
the Alliance finds ways to celebrate the unique character of Town Center. From public art and
aesthetic fixtures to small parks, the Alliance drives placemaking initiatives that strengthen our
connection to our environment and maximize shared public value.
By activating the physical and social environment in Town Center, the Alliance helps attract
businesses and residents, boost economic development, and shape a sense of community.
TCCID has invested over $3M in the Noonday Creek Trail. Final phases of the trail opened in
September 2014, and spans close to seven miles in length, beginning at the Kennesaw
Mountain Battlefield Park to the Bells Ferry Trailhead. Since 2019, trail counters have logged
over 1.1million visitors along the trail. TCCID recognizes that, although successful, the trail’s
potential hasn’t been fully realized. Strategies to activate the trail need to be implemented to
attract and retain users of all ages, demographics, and physical abilities. As the Town Center
CID strives to create a healthy environment for the surrounding commercial property owners
and its stakeholders, activation of the trail will increase safety, improve aesthetics, and
introduce new opportunities within the CID.
The purpose of this RFP is to gather creative, inspirational concepts for activation on Noonday
Creek Trail. Please familiarize yourself with the full Activation Plan completed in 2018 and the
Creative Placemaking Master Plan completed in 2023.

Please see Event link for further information about this opportunity.
Only email submissions accepted and should be sent to: [email protected]

Share Festival, the Italian exhibition of contemporary art linked to technological evolution and science announces the theme of the sixteenth consecutive year of the Share award. The works nominated for the award must follow the theme described here:

SHARE PRIZE XVI
‘ALL-NATURAL’

For the XVIII edition of Share Festival, we make this demand because we know it's impossible.

Here in glamorous Torino -- a city known for its cordial support of "every form of art" -- we can't take one natural, untainted breath. Not only is the planet's whole atmosphere polluted with Greenhouse gases -- here in Torino, thanks to our industrial heritage and our specific geographic climate, we're particularly badly off from an all-pervasive haze of PM2.5 micrometer pollution particles, including metals, combustion products and even agricultural dust. As you read this, we breathe that.

And yet, at the very same time, our Italian province of Piedmont is world-famous for its devotion to hand-crafted, artisanal "Slow Foods" grown from the unique plant and animal varieties of the fruitful Italian soil.

In our forthcoming Festival, we plan to tackle this contradiction headlong -- through our favorite medium of technology art. Can this become a dialectic instead of a contradiction? Can we witness net.art that is all about birds, bugs, bees and natural local landscapes? Can we interact with robots made of natural woods, sculptures digitally carved from marble, and interactive artworks composed of horn, reeds, seashells, bamboo, straw, bones, fossils, or better yet, severely imperiled natural materials entirely unique to the artist's own region in the world?
It's not enough to "defend the environment" -- how can natural materials infiltrate tomorrow's unnatural substance and take some terrible, weedy revenge? Please do your best for us. We need a breath of fresh air!

4C Exhibition Program
What is the 4C Exhibition?

4C means "for Conceptual Art （观念艺术）， for Contemporary Art（ 当代艺术）, for Chinese Community（中文社群）”。

​

The 4C Exhibition is a monthly group exhibition plan, and each selected artist can get a one-month art exhibition, publish in a magazine, and get an opportunity to interview and report. The purpose of 4C Exhibition is to provide a pure land for Chinese artists and audiences in the gap between Chinese culture and American culture, and to nurture their own cultural soil. Let outstanding Chinese-speaking artists have a professional art platform, and promote their artistic status to the height they deserve.

​

According to the artist's works, we will provide each selected artist with a exhibition wall of up to 9×10 feet, 90 square feet, so that artists can exhibit their works in series. According to the arrangement of the venue, the panels will select 6~10 artists to participate in the exhibition each time, and will formulate the best display plan for each artwork.

​

In addition, in order to help global artists to participate in the exhibition without barriers, 4C Gallery can also provide works production services, such as giclee printing, mounting, etc., by taking advantage of its own workshop.

Hedgebrook’s Writer-in-Residence Program supports writers from all over the world for residencies of two to three weeks. The cottage, all meals, and the entire residency experience at Hedgebrook is free to selected writers. Travel is not included and is the responsibility of the writer to arrange and pay for. Up to 6 writers can be in residence at a time, each housed in their own handcrafted cottage. They spend their days in solitude – writing, reading, taking walks in the woods on the property or on nearby Double Bluff beach. In the evenings, “The Gathering” is a social time for residents to connect and share over their freshly prepared meals.

Hedgebrook’s mission is to support visionary women-identified writers, 18 and older, whose stories and ideas shape our culture now and for generations to come. Writers must be women, which is inclusive of transgender women and female-identified individuals. Because gender inequity still occurs in all spaces including literary ones, it is part of our explicit mission to support and promote women’s voices. Residents must be willing to adhere to a specific set of health and safety protocols we have implemented to keep writers, staff, and surrounding communities safer.

Our application and adjudication processes are genre-specific. In 2025, we're innovating with an eye toward sustainability and doing things a bit differently. Our 2025 Writer in Residence (WiR) applications are now open for the following genres: Poetry, Prose-Non-fiction, Prose-Fiction. Applications are read by jurors who are proficient to read in each genre.

While we will not have applications open this cycle for songwriters, screenwriters, and playwrights, we are working on some exciting offerings for these genres. More to come! Please visit www.hedgebrook.org for updates.

Blue Space Gallery - " Representation v. Abstraction ", an international competition and virtual exhibition. Artists of all ages from around the world are invited to participate, with complete freedom in choosing their medium and style. Submissions should revolve around the central theme of " Representation v. Abstraction”. Entry is free; only those artists whose submissions are chosen as finalists will be required to pay a $35 participation fee. Finalists will have their artwork showcased in the online exhibition and will advance to the final jurying round in consideration for cash prizes and the opportunity to win the grand prize of $1,000. Awards will be granted to those whose work demonstrates the greatest level of creativity and artistry.

Theme:

The theme "Representation v. Abstraction" invites artists to explore and showcase the dynamic interplay between realistic depiction and abstract expression. This competition challenges participants to navigate the spectrum from precise, lifelike renderings to imaginative, non-representational creations, highlighting the contrasts and connections between these two fundamental artistic approaches. Whether capturing the intricate details of the visible world or delving into the realm of shapes, colors, and forms, artists are encouraged to express their unique vision and engage viewers in a dialogue about the diverse possibilities of visual art.

The Northern Illinois University Art Museum is seeking visual art interpretations on the theme of "portraiture", from realistic likenesses (including an artist’s self-portrait) to more conceptual interpretations and portrayals of an individual or group. Entries will be evaluated on professionalism of execution, inventiveness of concept and capture of subject’s uniqueness.

Deadline for all entries: Materials must be postmarked by Wednesday, June 12, 2024. Online submissions may be loaded until 11:59 p.m. on June 12.

Works will be selected by invitation and from a national call for entry by NIU Art Museum staff members and the museum’s Exhibition Advisory Committee.

The NIU Art Museum is currently accepting submissions in all media. This call is open to all artists in the United States 18 years of age or older. Two people must be able to handle and install the submitted artwork which must also fit through a single door (36” wide x 84” tall).

Entry Fee: $35.

The exhibition will take place from August 27 to October 19, 2024.

La Porte Peinte is an international arts centre located in Noyers sur Serein, a medieval village in Burgundy that is celebrated as one of the 100 most beautiful villages in France. Nestled within an elegant curve of the Serein river, the medieval cité of Noyers sur Serein sits in a pastoral northern Burgundy landscape of cherry trees, wheat fields, rolling meadows, forests and world-renowned vineyards. Deer, wild boar, pheasants and foxes roam the countryside, which is dotted with storied châteaux, quaint market towns and centuries-old stone abbeys. The UNESCO heritage site Vezelay is 30 minutes away.

Based in a rambling medieval half-timbered building that leans out over the village square like something from a fairy tale, La Porte Peinte offers artists, makers, musicians and writers in residence the opportunity to engage in creative exploration and exchange in an unusually inspiring and supportive environment. Doors opened in September 2011 with the first artists in residence and the launch of the 160 m2 ground-floor gallery, followed later by the opening of a café and a shop. La Porte Peinte’s five comfortable bedrooms are supplemented by four bedrooms in a nearby annex, another imposing and atmospheric medieval house. There are eight private studio spaces, along with workshop spaces and event spaces that are available for classes and performances. Along with residency accommodation, each creator in residence chooses from among those available the private studio space
