In today's arts landscape, the term "artist residency" no longer has a single, static meaning. Different residency programs may offer funding, materials, training, work space, living space, or valuable partnerships and collaborative opportunities. A more diverse set of artists - visual and non-visual - are being invited to participate in residencies by nonprofit arts organizations as well as for-profit businesses. What do these changes mean for artists in Philadelphia? What new residency models or trends are emerging around the globe, and how do our city's offerings fit into that larger picture? How might an organization interested in creating an artist residency program begin the process? Most importantly, how can local creatives of all types take advantage of these new opportunities? Our panelists will discuss these issues within the context of their own perspectives on and approach to residency programs, as well as answer your questions. ![]() RSVP HERE: http://residencyreimagined.eventbrite.com/PANEL MODERATOR: Amie Potsic, Director of the Career Development Program, The Center For Emerging Visual Artists (CFEVA)PANEL MEMBERS: Allan L.

The show is a collection of pieces that compose together the misconception, oppression, and struggles within identity. From the artist: "As an artist, I use my own personal narrative to weave together pieces of the complex but ever revolving puzzle that is race, class, gender identity, sexuality, family and community. Using objects to convey and mark each passage way of experience, I invite the audience to come along with me through a journey of self reflection and pavement." |
