McColl
Center for Visual Art invites artists and design professionals to
submit an Expression of Interest for the inaugural Environmental
Artist-in-Residence (EAIR) residency – "Watersheds”, to create
restorative works of art in the urban environment. This special artist
residency presents opportunities for contemporary artists and design
professionals to have beneficial impacts on the natural environment
through creation of art interventions that are scientifically relevant,
meaningful and beneficial environmental art.
DESCRIPTION:
The
Environmental Artist-in-Residency is founded on the principle that
artist, in collaboration with other disciplines, can create remarkable
works that encourage sustainability and stewardship of the
environment. The selected artist should be prepared to work on-site in
the field, and engage the community with new perspectives on the local
watershed.
This
residency will focus on the watersheds of Charlotte, NC. Future
residencies will involve other environmental issues such as energy, air
quality and pollution.
DISCIPLINES:
National,
international and local artists who work with the environment, land,
and other natural elements, as well as those artists who use other
media and would like to apply it in a beneficial way to the
environment, are encouraged to apply.
