An Exchange Between Artists, Designers, Writers and Curators
Emerging artists are invited to consider how their practice could be developed within the structure of a 6-week residency in Paris. The residency's aim is to enhance the individual's independent practice by providing them with the space, guidance, and resources necessary to fully investigate a defined project. Residents will work from a large communal studio; in addition they have access to the ceramics, welding, woodworking and mold-making workshops, photography studio and darkroom, printmaking facility, fashion atelier and computer lab. Visiting professional artists, designers, curators, and writers will engage with residents via lectures, critiques, and workshops. Visits to museum and contemporary exhibition and cultural spaces in and around Paris will be organized to complement and enrich residents' creative development.
The Residency program is open to rising seniors in BFA programs and students who have graduated from a BFA program in the last 2 years. Unlike the other Summer Programs at Ecole Parsons à Paris, the Creative Residency is by application and candidates must submit a statement of intent as well as examples of their work to be reviewed by the Admissions Committee.
Creative Residency applicants are also asked to submit a short biography of themselves (up to 5 sentences on your background, and studies, and artistic practice) that will be published for other accepted Creative Residency students on a password protected site. Creative Residency applicants must complete the application procedure online. Applicants should be accepted for the program before making payment.
