Hello, I wanted to let you know that the application instructions for the Spring 2020 session of Squeaky Wheel’s Workspace Residency are now online. Applications will be accepted between September 1-October 5, however, you can find the application questions on our website if you would like to start preparing your application now. The Spring 2020 residency will take place from March 7–21, 2020.
SWs Workspace Residency is a short-term residency for artists & researchers (curators, programmers, archivists, scholars, writers, etc) providing them with time, facilities, and support for new or ongoing media art projects. The Spring 2020 session will provide successful applicants with $950 in stipends/artist fees, accommodations and $300 in travel funds for applicants outside Buffalo, and access to the gear and facilities of SW and our partners at Buffalo Game Space and The Foundry. You can find more information, and a new Application Instructions and Overview document here <http://squeaky.org/workspace-residency/>. You can see bios and juries of previous residents here <http://squeaky.org/workspace-residency/workspace-archive/>. If you had looked at our residency before, I would like to highlight some updates: 1. Eligibility The application language used to indicate that the residency was open to US Citizens and valid work visa holders only. We have updated this language to state that applicants must have a social security number in order to receive payment by filling out a W9 form. All payments are made via check. Full-time students are not eligible to apply.Applicants from Buffalo who have received a residency or solo exhibition at Squeaky Wheel must wait a period of two years before applying (again) to the residency. Non-local applicants (from outside of Buffalo) must wait a period of five years. You can see more information regarding this in the FAQ on the website. 2. Accessibility We have updated SWs accessibility information which you can see here <http://squeaky.org/visit/>. As the residency can have several off-site components, we encourage applicants to inquire with the curator regarding any accessibility needs for the residency, including assistance with filling out the application. 3. Workshop Proposal We have updated the language of the workshop proposal question, with links to our educational programs and workshops by previous residents, so applicants have a better reference in writing their proposal. Please remember that the workshop proposal is one of four criteria the jury rates when considering proposals. 4. FAQ We have updated the FAQ with additional information regarding bringing children to the residency, film projects (Super 8mm, 16mm, etc.), how long it takes to fill out the application, and more. You can find the FAQ on the Workspace Residency page. Feel free to share this application with your networks, and if you are interested in applying, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, or would like feedback on your proposal ahead of the deadline. Thank you, -- *Ekrem Serdar* *Curator* *Squeaky Wheel Film & Media Art Center* 617 Main Street, Buffalo, NY 14203 PUBLIC HOURS: Tuesday–Saturday, 12–5pm 716-884-7172 | squeaky.org <http://www.squeaky.org/> | @squeakybuffalo --------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------
