Posted by: Craft Alliance
Deadline: Fri, July 1st, 2022

For the past 15 years, the Craft Alliance Artist-in-Residency program gives early career artists engaging with craft the space and professional support to build their practice. Through teaching opportunities, studio access, material and professional development stipends, and exhibition and programming opportunities. For the past 50 years, Craft Alliance has been a center for craft education in the St. Louis region, providing adult and youth education in 6 studio areas, exhibiting national and regional craft artists, and creating accessible programs for local schools. Craft Alliance invites up to 3 artists to participate in a 11 month program that begins in September 2022 and ends in July 2023. Artists share a private studio and have access to Craft Alliance’s 6 main studio areas outside of class; receive a monthly materials stipend and professional development reimbursement fund; Tuition waivers for workshops per session; teaching and other professional development opportunities; and a culminating group exhibition in Craft Alliance Staenberg Gallery.

Early career, self-directed artists who are interested in creating and working in a community based organization should consider applying. The ideal resident is able to work independently but enjoys being connected and works well with a larger team and community. Artists should be interested in taking advantage of educational opportunities, classes, and programs in an active craft center to augment their experience. Craft Alliance is dedicated to creating an inclusive and diverse crafts community in St. Louis. BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and artists with diverse and non-traditional backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
