New York Academy of Art/ West Nottingham Academy Artist Residency

Eric Fischl, the New York Academy of Art, and the West Nottingham Academy are pleased to announce an Artist Residency Program located on the beautiful campus of West Nottingham Academy near the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. West Nottingham Academy was founded in 1744 and is a residential school for college-bound students with a strong emphasis on the arts.

Every year three artist/residents will be chosen exclusively from the alumni community of the New York Academy of Art to teach and create art on campus at the West Nottingham Academy. Each artist/resident will be present on campus for one term of the trimester (the fall, winter, or spring). Artist/residents will be given a private studio, an apartment in the Faculty Dormitory, three meals a day at the campus dining facility, access to a campus car as needed, an exhibition at the beginning of the residency, and the opportunity to present their work to the West Nottingham community in the form of an Artist Talk. Each artist/resident will also be given an $8,000 stipend to support their work and to cover any unforeseen expenses during the residency, generously provided by West Nottingham alumnus Eric Fischl.

Each artist/resident will be required to teach two forty-five minute classes five days a week for eight to ten weeks, depending on the term of the trimester. The syllabi for these classes will be designed by each artist/resident in consultation with West Nottingham faculty.

Interested alumni should submit five images of current work (72 dpi), a one-page artist statement describing your work, a one-page pedagogical statement outlining your approach to teaching, a current CV, the discipline you would be applying to teach and the trimester you would prefer to teach.

Deadline July 1, 2013

Shared Studio Space - Tribeca

From artist Maria Petrovskaya:
I am looking for a studio mate to share a space I have in Tribeca- West Soho (@Greenwich st) . The rent is $730 that we split between the two, so it is $360 each. The space is in the artist building, with slop sink, approx 14x16. It's available from June 1st (or maybe even earlier)- through flexible.
It has no windows but a good central ventilation- there are multiple studios on the floor. I have a day job, so I will be there only few evenings a week and maybe one day on the weekend.

My contact # is 646-753-3064.
