Opportunity Description

U.S. National Deadline: October 25, 2024 – VisArts is proud to continue our partnership with Montgomery College’s Collaborative AiR for our September 2024 – January 2025 Bresler Residency.

The Montgomery College Collaborative AiR is a three-week program in which a professional artist is embedded in the Rockville and Germantown Art Departments, providing a unique opportunity for students to work directly with contemporary artists other than faculty. Students have the authentic experience of creating artwork for public installation, as part of collaboration with peers, faculty, and the artist, working toward a common goal of a gallery installation or social practice project.

During the September 2024 – January 2025 Bresler Residency, the selected artist or artist team will, in addition to fulfilling the terms of the Bresler Residency:

• Be embedded in the Rockville and Germantown Montgomery College Art Departments

• September 19, 2025 – January 16, 2026 (Bresler Residency + Montgomery College Collaborative AiR)
• Residency Exhibition: January – March 2026

ELIGIBILITY
Qualified applicants are professional individual artists or collaborative artist teams over the age of 18; the program is not designed for undergraduate students or commercial artists.
Artists working in all media are welcome to apply.

BENEFITS

• A stipend of $3,000 will be available for the three-week AIR, which includes transportation, installation of work, and compensation of time.
• Student materials for any proposed collaboration with students will be supported through a separate budget up to $1,000 and will be determined based on the size and scope of the work.
• Bresler Residents will be provided with a 169-square-foot studio, free of charge, for a period of four months.
