Posted 3 Jun 2019

Eyelevel is looking for applications to our summer mini-residency program, HEAT WAVES!

HEAT WAVES provides artists at **all stages** of their careers with:

  • Free 24-hour access to our Member’s Nook (workspace) for 2 weeks

  • Free 24-hour access to our Flex Room (studio/gallery/screening room) for 2 weeks

  • Free access to Eyelevel’s arts & crafts supplies and tools

  • A budget of $200 to be used however you like

  • Promotional support from our Artistic Director and Program Assistant

  • A 1-year membership to Eyelevel which begins at the start of your residency

Artists who apply are not expected to make finished work or hold an exhibition of any kind, but our staff will be here to help you get the word out about any shows or events that you would like to have.

HEAT WAVES will have 5 available spots, which will be during these dates:

  1. June 17 - June 30

  2. July 1 - July 14

  3. July 15 - July 28

  4. July 29 - August 11

  5. August 11 - August 25

HEAT WAVES will be “soft-juried,” we will be looking at applications with these values in mind:

  • You have never shown at Eyelevel

  • You can work within our available time slots

  • The resources that we have match the resources that you need

  • You do not have easy access to a studio, gallery or production space right now

  • Priority is given to artists who identify as BIPOC, QPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+ and/or artists who currently feel unable to access professional arts organizations.
