Field Projects Solo Exhibition & Residency Fellowship (Due Apr. 21)
Field Projects Solo Exhibition & Residency Fellowship
Deadline: April 21, 2025
Field Projects (NYC) is teaming up with In Situ Polyculture Commons, an arts residency and eco-cultural catalyst (Southeastern Vermont) to offer our inaugural 2025 Solo Show & Residency Fellowship.
This opportunity includes a 2-4 week art residency in Vermont, plus a 5-week solo exhibition for an individual artist or collaborative group of up to 4 people, as well as a stipend of $1000 to be used as the artist sees fit.
We are two artist-run organizations, and for our first-ever collaboration, we have created a fellowship opportunity that we would want!
Ideal candidates for this opportunity may include, but are not limited to;
Artist with an in-progress project or body of work that would benefit from time in retreat and productive residency in preparation for an exhibition
Interdisciplinary collaborations (trans-academic, independent researchers, visual artists + other fields, etc) *Collaborator groups of up to 4 people may apply with a single application
An artist who has been impacted, neglected or rejected due to politicization of identity, political or social marginalization, loss of funding / exhibition opportunities due to current events, etc.
Ideal projects;
Are in-progress or in a polishing stage. The work would be finished in residency for the exhibition.
Make a strong political statement about the zeitgeist
Involve a strong visual art component but also may include writing & poetry, performance, research (independent, academic, scientific, or else)
Involve immersive installation or experimental work
May involve collaborators (up to 4 people may attend residency)
Notes about the curatorial perspective;
At Field Projects (FP), we want to push stronger left-leaning politics and immersive installation.
In Situ Polyculture Commons (ISPC) embraces place-based and context-aware [read collapse-aware] modalities— ecology-interested work. What will artists and art do as society melts down and things like ecosystem collapse, mutual aid, and ancestral skills become inherent partners to creative work? How is this artistic practice bridging the studio to the world context?
