RESIDENCY CANDIDATE QUALIFICATIONS

The intent of a focused, supported time at CAFAC is to move you forward in your artistic practice and career. CAFAC’s residency doesn’t have minimum qualifications or absolute requirements for you to apply, but we think you’ll be a successful resident if:

• You don’t necessarily have a fire arts background, but you do have sculptural experience, or a 2D background if you’re seeking the enameling track.

• You’re at a point in your artistic career where you have time to focus on your professional development for a period of four months.

• For Studio Residency, you can describe your vision for a project, body of work, or specific skills you’d like to develop during a residency.

• For Creative Exhibition Residency, you can describe your vision for an exhibition and related events and activities that can transform the CAFAC gallery.

• You identify as Black, Brown, Indigenous, or POC, as a woman or as gender-expansive/ non-binary, because those identities are under-represented in the industrial art forms CAFAC supports.
