Grand Canyon Conservancy's Artist-in-Residence program supports contemporary solo artists who wish to contribute to the cultural and aesthetic legacy of Grand Canyon. The Artist-in-Residence program is directly tied to the National Park Service's priority of expanding equity and inclusion through storytelling and the Grand Canyon Conservancy's mission "to inspire generations of park champions and to cherish and support the natural and cultural wonder of Grand Canyon."

The PleinAir Salon Art Competition is a monthly online art competition that awards over $50,000 each year. There is $2,050 in Cash Prizes awarded each month, and $22,000 awarded at the Annual Competition each May. Each of the 23 monthly winners are included in the judging for the 13th Annual PleinAir Salon where we award the Grand Prize winner a check for $15,000 and feature their painting on the cover of PleinAir Magazine. The Annual Awards will be presented live at the Plein Air Convention & Expo in May 2024.

Because this competition is created by PleinAir magazine, which features not only plein air paintings, but also studio paintings, all types of paintings are eligible and do not need to have been completed in plein air. As we know, many studio paintings start with plein air sketches, and many plein air painters paint figures and still life. Our interest is in rewarding great paintings.

Northwest Film Forum’s Lynn Shelton “Of a Certain Age” Grant is a project-based award that provides $25,000 to an individual woman, nonbinary, and/or transgender US filmmaker, age 39 or older, who is working on their first narrative feature as a director.

This grant seeks to recognize a film director for their distinct vision, storytelling, and singularity.
In 2020, The Lynn Shelton “Of a Certain Age” Grant was established by Northwest Film Forum alongside Duplass Brothers Productions, and with major support from COLOR and Eliza Flug, to honor Seattle filmmaker Lynn Shelton, who passed away on May 16th, 2020. Lynn Shelton often spoke of feeling inspired after seeing filmmaker Claire Denis speak at Northwest Film Forum and learning that Denis did not make her first feature until age 40. Shelton went on to make her own first feature film (We Go Way Back) at the age of 39. In the years since, she built a prolific canon of feature and television work and made an indelible mark on the landscape of American cinema.

Administered by the Seattle Art Museum, the Betty Bowen Award honors a Northwest artist for their original, exceptional, and compelling work. The winner is awarded an unrestricted cash prize of $15,000. The award is open to visual artists in all media working in Washington, Oregon, or Idaho

Calling Artists who are exploring the intersection of art, ecology and community engagement.

Artists are invited by Nashulai Maasai Conservancy to participate in archiving the community’s oral tradition and to promote their model of sustainable conservation.

To ensure the fast-disappearing Maasai oral traditions are protected and archived, Nashulai is developing the Stories Café. Named Netii Apa, meaning Once Long Ago, this will be where the stories of the Maasai ways of life will be shared, and bear witness to a harmonious relationship with the land.

This Artist in Residence enables artists to collaborate with each other and the community in order to creatively correlate the stories that are being gathered at Nashulai: narratives that celebrate ancestral knowledge and 21st-century innovation.

The program will follow the progression of Netii Apa research and community centre, which the community hopes will serve as an international hub to preserve and share their stories. The residency will challenge artists to think critically about their role in addressing environmental and social issues. It will encourage them to explore new perspectives, push their artistic boundaries, and develop projects with a lasting impactt.

This project will commission 3-D, interactive, site-specific work that will celebrate the history and cultural contributions of the Hispanic community in Thornton, Colorado. The work will be challenged to move away from a monolithic approach and explore multilingual, multicultural, and multiethnic themes to bring light to the nationalities, generations, gender identities, and weave the story of the Hispanic Diaspora.

The City of Thornton, in collaboration with the Thornton Arts, Sciences and Humanities Council (TASHCO), is seeking to commission original public art for Pecos Park, a public park located in Ward 1 of Thornton, Colorado. Both parties are seeking a strong visual impact and a project that will push Thornton’s public art program into a contemporary setting.

Artists are strongly encouraged to explore contemporary materials, themes, and utilize interdisciplinary practices to meet the scope of the project in addition to unique and exciting use of technology. This project asks artists to go beyond the use of static imagery/statuary to engage visitors and activate the park with a contemporary, innovative, and permanent public art piece.

Cosmic Bodies & Beneath the Horizon is a dual group show organized by 2023 CalArts REEF artists-in-residence, Caleb Craig and Dongpu Ling.

Beneath the Horizon is a group exhibition merging the coastal diving community and emerging artists in order to explore the ocean as a vital part of our ecosystem. We are challenging artists to reflect on the ocean’s significance in providing food and resources and the implications of continuing our current environmental policies worldwide. We encourage artists to consider the impact of climate change and other environmental factors on the ocean, as well as the effects of human behavior on the ocean and marine life. This exhibition aims to use art as a tool to inspire and encourage viewers to reflect on our relationship with the ocean and the potential ways art might be used to mitigate the serious implications of continuing with our current environmental policies worldwide.

Cosmic Bodies is an exhibition inviting artists to respond to the body as cosmic – defined in Legacy Russell’s “Glitch Feminism” as “infinitely vast”. We challenge artists to submit work that considers bodies that encrypt, stitch, camouflage, and defy boundaries. We encourage artists to consider various ways of tracing, representing, erasing, choreographing, and exploring human and more than human bodies. We invite work dealing with microscopic and macroscopic body ecologies, traces, paradoxes, points of contact, and porosity.

Selected works will be exhibited at The Reef, Maker City LA in October, 2023. We are looking for works demonstrating high creativity, technical skill, and conceptual depth. Please note that all works must be original and created within the last two years.
