The 2012 Residency has begun!

The 2012/13 Residency for Arts Workers as Artists kicked of last Friday night, August 10, 2012. Each of the seven new residents told us a little bit about their past and ongoing projects, shared their plans for the three-week intensive period of the residency, and got to know each other over a lively group dinner.  The 2012/13 group of artists is Jonathan Durham, Francis Estrada, Elizabeth Hamby, Jamie Kim, Naomi Miller, Sarah Walko, and Howard Halle. Check back soon for more updates as the 2012 residency gets rolling!

Artsministratist?? A Conversation with the 2011/12 Arts Workers as Artists Residents

Last Wednesday, August 8th, EFA Project Space hosted Artsministratist?? A Conversation with the 2011/12 Arts Workers as Artists Residents, marking the end of the 2011/12 Residency.  The "graduating" residents got together to share stories, work, and discuss the particularities of negotiating between an independent art practice and a demanding position at a cultural organization.  Although it means that the 2011/12 residents are moving on, the graduates will coninue to be involved as alumni, and we are looking forward to a Residency exhibition next summer where you might see more of them.  Of course, as the 2011/12 Residency comes to a close, we are also excited to welcome our brand new group of residents for the 2012/13 Residency!
