Call for Artists and Artisans
Studio Residencies at 1450 Ocean, Santa Monica
Application Deadline: Thursday, April 30, 2015, rec'd by 5:00pm

The City of Santa Monica, Cultural Affairs Division, seeks applications from artists and artisans living in Los Angeles County for one of three Studio Residencies at 1450 Ocean, the Camera Obscura building in Palisades Park, Santa Monica. This Studio Residency offers shared multipurpose space with a spectacular ocean view in an iconic midcentury park building overlooking the Pier. The City is particularly interested in artists whose work offers opportunity for sharing with the public as well as with aspiring artists through example and instruction. All mediums will be considered.

The City of Santa Monica has established a Studio Residency program at 1450 Ocean in Palisades Park for the purpose of supporting the work of local artists, crafters and makers, highlighting the intersection of fine art and craft, and providing the public access to a variety of artistic practice and instruction.

This call covers three eight-week residency time slots: July 1-August 26, 2015, September 2- October 28, 2015, or November 4, 2015-January 6, 2016. The Residency offers room in which to work, as well as lockable storage for equipment, materials and works in progress. The City seeks to provide an opportunity to applicants who both need a place to practice and create, and are interested in sharing their work for the public's benefit. As an acknowledgement of the public benefit of the Resident to the community, an honorarium of $500 is offered for each residency period.
