AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

The Center for Book Arts is pleased to continue the Artist-in-Residence
Workspace Grant for New York Emerging Artists program in 2010. Up to five
New York-based emerging artists will be offered space, time and support to
explore the production of artist's books and related work for a full year.
The purpose of this program is to promote experimentation in book arts, thus
artists from all disciplinary backgrounds are encouraged to apply. The
Center especially encourages applications from artists of culturally diverse
backgrounds.
The award includes a $750-$1,500 cash stipend (depending on funding) plus a
materials budget between $750 to $1,000 (depending on funding), 24 hour
access to the Center's printing and binding facilities for a full year, plus
an individual studio space for 3 months. Artists also receive approximately
$3,000-$5,000 tuition waiver for courses throughout the year, planned in
conjunction with the staff. Experienced printers and bookbinders will be
available to advise the artists on issues of materials and techniques as
they arise. We have learned through past residents that ten hours per week
of studio work is common in order to realize their artistic goals.

An exhibition of the artist's work produced at the Center during their
residency will be presented as part of our Featured Artist Series exhibition
series in the following year. Other possible opportunities to present work
to the public include a lecture/performance at the Center.

Artists are invited to submit applications postmarked by October 16, 2009
for the 2010 program. There is no application fee.
