AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

from Franklin Furnace

Hello, I’m reaching out on behalf of the Charlotte Street Foundation in Kansas City, MO.

We’re spreading the word about an exciting curatorial residency opportunity for the fall of 2016. It’s an 18 month residency with furnished housing and utilities provided, along with a $1,000/month stipend, and a separate working budget for exhibitions and programs. Potential teaching opportunities with partnering academic institutions are an additional possibility.

After two years of successful piloting, this program continues to grow and evolve and we’d love it if you could pass the world along to individuals that you think would be interested. The application deadline is November 30th.

ABOUT THE CHARLOTTE STREET FOUNDATION:

Charlotte Street Foundation’s mission is to challenge, nurture, and empower artists of exceptional vision. The organization was founded in 1997 to support and recognize outstanding visual artists in Kansas City through direct cash awards. Since its launch more than 15 years ago, Charlotte Street has evolved, developing programs that engage and propel leading-edge artists of exceptional vision while fostering collaboration and a strong sense of community in Kansas City.

Charlotte Street believes that artists and art represent a valuable creative, social and economic resource. Today, Charlotte Street – with our community of artists – strives to be a primary catalyst in making Kansas City a vibrant, creative metropolis, alive with collaboration, passion, and ideas.

Programs and initiatives, informed by dialogue focused on the real needs of the creative community, include awards for visual and generative performing artists, project-based grants, studio residencies, a curatorial residency, exhibition and performance programming, and a range of professional development and educational programs for emerging and established artists based in Kansas City. A deep and sustained investment in the work and lives of individual artists, and strong commitment to fostering community and connections among them, is central to Charlotte Street’s work.

Charlotte Street is regarded by national arts and philanthropic leaders as a model for multi-faceted artist support and community impact, and has received support nationally from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Leveraging Investments in Creativity (a program of the Ford Foundation), Pollock Krasner Foundation, Joan Mitchell Foundation, Tremaine Foundation, and others.

Any interested parties can feel free to contact me directly with questions.

Thank you for your help in passing this information along,

Amy Kligman
