Hello! The LUX has had a busy year expanding our classes and launching our new program the Art Van deLUX! We are excited to announce that we will be taking applications for residents. Below is the updated description of our residency the link to our website with the application.
Residency Description
LUX Center for the Arts currently has an opening for a Ceramic Artist-in-Residence starting June 1st 2012. Residency is available for 4 months up to 2 years. An MFA is preferred but not necessary. Teaching experience is considered a major plus. Residency is granted based on quality of work and community-mindedness of applicant. Residency includes a shared but private studio space, free materials and firings, gallery representation and many paid teaching opportunities for all ages. Year-long residents receive a solo show at the end of their residency. Ceramics residents have 24 hour access to facilities which include an indoor kiln room that contains 2 L&L computerized electric kilns, 1 Duncan cone sitter kiln and a 1 cubic foot test kiln; no kiln can go above cone 6. There are many high-fire kilns in the community that you can make arrangements to use if need be. Facilities also include a vented clay and glaze mixing room, 8 electric Brent wheels, a Peter Pugger mixer, a clay extruder, a small slab roller, 2 4’x8’ work tables and plenty of storage. Use of other studio areas is allowed as long as it does not interfere with resident artists in those areas. Residents are responsible for studio management and maintenance, which includes mixing our earthenware clay for classes, mixing glazes as needed, loading/unloading kilns as well as servicing kilns and wheels as needed. Studio management is approximately 10-12 hours per week. Residents are expected to assist with the annual fundraiser gala and donate a piece to the art auction every September they are here. Residents are also expected to attend and assist all art openings and other large community events. No stipend is offered but there are ample teaching opportunities for residents totaling at least 20 hours per week. Residents that possess a MFA have the opportunity to teach for Doan College through LUX Center. Teaching for Doan you receive around $200 per student for this appointment. All the artist-in-Residence report to the Education Director.
