Penland’s Winter Residency program is a short-term residency opportunity for artists seeking to work independently in one of our 16 media specific studios during Penland’s quiet season. Practicing artists of all backgrounds and at any stage of their career are encouraged to apply for a 2-week or 4-week session. Shared studio access is provided to a small number of artists each session; we invite enough people to encourage conversation and creative camaraderie, but not so many that focused time in the studio is compromised. Residents’ time is their own; there are no workshops, critiques, or required activities. Our goal is to support creative experimentation by offering artists the time, space, and equipment they need to advance professional development.

Penland Winter Residencies are for:

Artists needing access to facilities for research and development that can be supported by Penland’s well-equipped studios
Art educators and administrators who are seeking focused studio time during a winter break or sabbatical
Collaborating artists who want to work on a specific project or simply alongside one another in order to share technical expertise and/or creative inspiration
Art professionals who need time away from daily responsibilities and distractions to focus on a creative project

The request is for a large-scale, three-dimensional work that is able to command the space and make a bold “welcome” statement to guests visiting the garden in order to pay their respects to the chimps who have passed away.

BoyntonArts, the City of Boynton Beach Public Art Program, seeks artists to apply to exhibit their outdoor artwork for the 7th Biennial Kinetic in Boynton Beach, Florida. The exhibition provides the opportunity to present, sell and share explorations in kinetic art over a two-day weekend February 1-2, 2025.

The Biennial seeks works of visual, conceptual, participatory or experiential art where real motion, the illusion of motion or the feeling of motion are an essential attribute of the aesthetic content of the artwork. Artworks are for sale if requested by the artist. The dialogue among attending artists and designers and with the public has proven to be valuable to many.

NOTE: Artists may apply for multiple opportunities including indoor and/or outdoor exhibitions or installations, video presentation and community engagement.

Kinetic Art

The Kinetic Biennial maintains a very broad perspective on kinetic art, or rather kinetic energy in the art. Real motion, the illusion of motion, and the feeling of motion must be an essential attribute of the aesthetic content of the artwork.

The Kinetic Biennial, 2025

The 7th Kinetic Biennial is a free art exhibit and symposium of artists, designers and performers to engage the Boynton community and all of south Florida visitors in contemporary kinetic art. The 7th Biennial demonstrates the interconnectedness of art and technology, and leverages human fascination with movement.

During the first weekend in February, outdoor kinetic artworks and turbines will be installed for an 18-month display in downtown Boynton Beach. The February 1st opening weekend will include indoor art exhibitions, artist and designer talks, student displays, turbine demonstrations, light projections and choregraphed motion performances with community volunteers. Live music, food trucks, artist booths and other activities will add the festive atmosphere.

This exciting event is centrally located within the 1.5 million residents of Palm Beach County, BoyntonArts anticipates a larger weekend audience compared to the 6,000 at the 2023 Kinetic event.

See the appendix at the end for more information.

Outdoor Exhibition

The outdoor exhibition is held on the 6-acre municipal campus and ¼ mile Avenue of the Arts. The campus includes City Hall, the City Library, Arts and Cultural Center, Schoolhouse Children’s Museum, permanent kinetic sculptures, playground areas, huge banyan and kapok trees with an amphitheater. Eight (8) ground level and raised concrete bases have been constructed to provide support for temporary sculptures on the campus. Other landscaped areas, plaza and sidewalk locations can be made available. Another 5 sculpture bases with 36 light poles with banners are ready on the Avenue of the Arts.

A walking map brochure listing all artists with websites and images of artworks will be printed and provided to all visitors and available online. A GPS based app will assist visitors to learn additional detail about the artists and artworks.

Primary publicity occurs through the Boynton Beach marketing office press contacts and a comprehensive social media campaign. We recommend that all artists have a website and a Facebook / Instagram handle.

Artwork is insured by the City of Boynton Beach for artist’s sale price or cost of restoration of the artwork for damage or theft while in the Boynton Beach facilities. Environmental damage from salt air, rain or wind is not insured.

Selection Process

Via coordination by Craig Clark, Director of Recreation & Cultural Services, a selection panel will select the artists and artworks. The artists will be presented to the Boynton Beach Art Advisory Committee for approval.

Shipping

Artists will be reimbursed up to $1,000 for shipping costs after all receipts and mileage reports are provided.

All recreated work is dependent on the budget and cost of artwork materials. Once the Biennial is over each artist has 3 options for their work:

1. Work can be donated to the City of Boynton Beach

2. Work can be held for no longer than six (6) months for pick up

3. Work can be destroyed at the written request of the artist

Artwork Sales

A major goal of the Kinetic Biennial is to support artists in the creation and distribution of their art around the world. To this end, the Kinetic Biennial can help facilitate the sale of artwork (with no guarantee of purchase) if the artist chooses to do so. A 10% fee is charged which covers the cost of processing checks and credit cards.

The Portrait Society of America is pleased to announce a Call for Entries for our fourth annual The Future Generation Competition. This competition was created to acknowledge the work of talented, emerging artists, who are 18 to 25 years old. Early recognition in art competitions can have a great impact on a young artist’s career, as it did for John Singer Sargent, who at the age of twenty-three, won Honorable Mention at the Paris Salon for a portrait he painted of his teacher, Carolus-Duran.

The Hambidge Center is situated on 600 forested acres in the mountains of north Georgia and offers miles of nature trails, meadows, waterfalls, a swimming hole and an abundance of wildflowers.

The oldest residency program in the Southeast, Hambidge provides a self-directed program that honors the creative process and trusts individuals to know what they need to cultivate their talent, whether it’s to work and produce, to think, to experiment or to rejuvenate. Residents’ time is their own; there are no workshops, critiques, nor required activities.

Each resident is given their own private studio which provides work and living space with a bathroom and full kitchen. The studios are designed to protect residents’ time, space and solitude.

Resident groups are intentionally kept small enough (8-10 people) to gather around the dinner table each evening, Tuesday through Friday, for delicious vegetarian meals prepared by our chef. These communal meals are an essential part of the Hambidge residency experience. Serious topics are discussed (and light-hearted ones, too), experiences are shared, and encouragement is given. Many a collaboration and life-long friendship have begun at the Hambidge dinner table.

Members of each resident group come from different walks of life and work in different creative disciplines; from musicians, culinary artisans and scientists, to visual artists, writers, dancers and arts & culture administrators. Each year, residents of all ages come to Hambidge from over 30 states across the U.S., as well as internationally.

Specialized equipment and facilities include the Antinori Pottery Studio, and a beautifully rebuilt turn-of-the-century Steinway grand piano housed in Garden Studio.

Accessibility - Hambidge offers two ADA-compliant studios: Brena Studio and Cove Studio. Our dining and common areas can be navigated, but are not yet fully compliant. There are no sidewalks or paved areas; the connecting driveways are gravel and uneven. If you come to Hambidge without a car, the on-campus studios will require a walk to get to Lucinda’s Rock House. On average, the studios are 0.3 miles from the Rock House with a 157-elevation gain, walking on a gravel road with uneven terrain. For more information, please contact our Office Manager at 706-746-7324.

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU APPLY

The studios are comfortable, but rustic and secluded. They are purposely simple, and most are out of sight of each other and somewhat isolated.

We are located in a forested environment. Residents should expect to occasionally encounter wildlife and insects – and sometimes the insects are inside the studios.

It is very dark at night. There are no street lights or ambient light, other than the moon and stars.

Due to our remote location, there is no cell service at Hambidge. Each studio has a phone for emergency, local and incoming calls.

To encourage focused creativity, there is no internet in the studios. WiFi is available 24 hours a day in the communal space of Lucinda's Rock House.

Please thoroughly read the Guidelines, Application Instructions, and our FAQs before submitting your application.

Apply from August 1 through September 15 for the SPRING SESSION of the following year (mid-February through May).

The Artadia Awards provide financial support, exposure and recognition to artists. The awards are unrestricted, allowing artists to use the funds in any way they choose.

Each year, an open-call application is made available in each of the seven active partner cities. Supporting artists equitably is a critical part of the Artadia Award process: we consider the unique populations of each community and are proud to reflect our country’s diversity with an Awardee pool that is over 50 percent female and over 40 percent persons of color.

In addition to financial support, Awardees can participate in the Artadia Network to receive structured opportunities for valuable new connections and resource sharing as well as receive a dedicated webpage on Artadia’s online Artist Registry. Connections fostered by Artadia have facilitated major steps in Awardees’ careers, such as inclusion in prominent exhibitions (e.g. five Awardees were featured in the 2017 Whitney Biennial, and six in 2019).

As The Store’s reputation for featuring unique work by nationally recognized craft artists has grown, we have become increasingly selective about the artists whose work we choose to feature.
