Salem Art Works call for Young & Studio Artists is open now until Monday, February 5th at 11:59 EST.
The programs offer emerging artists a 30-hour work-trade during two sessions, June-July and August-September. The Young Artist program invites artists working in any media to participate in a general work-trade helping with the day-to-day operations. The Studio Artist program invites artists working in glass, blacksmithing, foundry, and welding to assist a shop director in a specific studio. All artists will be responsible for preparing meals and helping to clean up after themselves. Artists will have the opportunity to exhibit their work at the end of the residency and are asked to donate one item to SAW's end-of-year auction. SAW will provide a paid opportunity to offer workshops during or post-residency for artists with prior experience to help offset the cost of the residency.
