LA PRÁCTICA RESIDENCY


La Practica is a group residency based on a model developed by Beta Local, an artist-run organization in Puerto Rico. The program creates a space for communal sharing and learning, with a curriculum that draws on the participants’ own interests and knowledge. Through the program artists and practitioners gain confidence, build community, become familiar with the organization, and acquire the professional skills necessary to advance their practices and engage more nuanced conversations. This will be done through assigned readings, facilitation of workshops, visiting artists and other activities.

Applicants are not required to have a degree nor is a prior exhibition history required. La Práctica is geared towards creatives in the early stages of developing a committed and rigorous creative practice.

Completed applications must be sent to info@NLSkingston.org.

CURATORIAL & ART WRITING FELLOWSHIP


The Curatorial/Art Writing Intensive is a 5-month long mentorship program geared towards addressing the dearth of archival scholarship on the work of artists in Jamaica and the Caribbean by empowering young writers and curators with the tools to write these histories.

This program aims to develop diverse curatorial practices with a strong research and writing foundation equipping young curators to work on future projects at larger institutions and in their own intitiatives, thereby generating an archive on specific concerns and artists of focus.

For the program one young mentee will be selected per year to work with a professional curatorial mentor in the development of the mentee’s project addressing one or more of the following themes:

- Gender: Ecology/Environment
- Gender: Economy
- Gender: Politics/Space

Completed applications must be sent to info@NLSkingston.org.

LE CENTRE D'ART: RESIDENCY IN HAITI


Entitled Implementation of a Network for the Creation and Dissemination of Caribbean Art, the two-year residency programme aims to create a link between Haiti and other Caribbean nations, promoting the practices of Caribbean artists, especially women, and strengthening the Haitian cultural sector. Art residencies will end with an exhibition and a widely distributed publication.

For this segment of the residency programme, Le Centre d’Art will host one female artist for one month in Haiti from July 1 to July 30, 2020. The artist will be provided with a workspace, tools and supplies and housing. In addition, the artist will receive per diem to cover all food and transportation expenses throughout the residency. The ticket and the visa will also be covered by Le Centre d’Art.

Le Centre d’Art will facilitate access to public and private art collections and cultural activities. The artist will visit artists' studios, and will give a class on a specific art technique at Le Centre d‘Art.

Le Centre d’Art is located in the heart of the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince. The artist will be housed in a neighbourhood close to Le Centre d’Art and will be able to work within the institution.
