“Get to Do An Art or Craft: Applying to artist residencies for ‘non-artists’”

by

An 8-page minizine created by Amanda Wyatt Visconti.

If like me you’re coming from outside the formal Art World, but are a crafter, maker, or artist (or do these but think “I’m not a real artist though…”)

You might also not be aware you can apply for artist residencies (aka craft residencies & similar things using terms like sabbaticals, studio & makerspace & keyholder access, awards, fellowships, scholarships) to get time, space, equipment, funding, or other support to make art. Some residencies specifically prioritize under-resourced identities, & ability to give back to a community (e.g. teachers, librarians).

This zine is an overview of what’s involved, from my viewpoint as an academic => printer who’s now more comfortable applying for residencies.
