The Steel Yard: Micro Artist Residency (rolling)
The Steel Yard’s micro residency program can assist you in growing and strengthening your creative industrial art practice. Residents receive an all-access pass to our 10,000 square foot studio, tools, resources, and community. All participants should display experience, and an avid interest, within their media and a desire to work in a community studio.
The Steel Yard supports artists working in the industrial-arts: ceramics, welding, blacksmithing, jewelry, or the foundry arts. We offer short term and long term residency options; ranging from one month to one year.
Accepted residents have access to studios, tools, space, and community. They are invited to take, or teach, courses, attend critiques, participate in exhibitions, vend at art markets, be paid to design and fabricate public art work, and be part of a vibrant community of makers.
Residents will be required to sign a contract detailing responsibilities, privileges, studio access, and safety procedures. Residents will also be expected to contribute 5 hours of work time to the department monthly, and to participate in organizational fundraisers and departmental clean ups. Upon completion of their term, residents should expect to provide the Steel Yard with 5 images of the work created during their term, or as a direct result of their time at the Yard.
There is no application deadline
