SPARKBOX STUDIO RESIDENCY HOW TO

вЂњPrintmaking is a process-heavy medium that requires a lot of tools, equipment and materials, so finding a home for everything can be a challenge.

Having guest artists in the studio also changed the way the Regina artists look at their workspace. Ensuring that the community has access to the artist and vice versa will also be a crucial component вЂ“ whether through an artist talk, workshop, or an open house during the residency,вЂќ says Mullan. вЂњWe plan to host both paid residencies as well as award-based options, which would be geared towards providing space for artists who have recently emerging from post-secondary programs.

The team at Articulate Ink has a clearer idea of how to undertake an artist residency as a result of Poitras and ToppingвЂ™s mentorship. вЂњWe had a great discussion that night, with questions ranging from pricing artwork, promoting work online, applying for funding and creating exhibition proposals,вЂќ Mullan notes. They also created artwork, participated in a panel discussion at the Flatgrafika print symposium and met with the printmaking community in an open forum.

Professional Arts Organizations ProgramДuring their six-day stay in Regina, Poitras and Topping mentored Articulate Ink staff, sharing best practices for recruiting and contracting artists as well as general advice on managing and supporting them.
