Applications for the 2025 Visiting Artist Program, Sessions I - IV, will be accepted August 1 through September 30, 2024, by 11:59 pm. All submissions will be reviewed by a committee of Gibbes Museum of Art staff members and diverse arts professionals. Complementing our exhibition program, the Visiting Artist series promotes creativity, introduces new art forms, provides perspective on larger community issues, encourages freedom of thought, and connects with the broadest possible audience. The program features eight artists annually whose work contributes to a new understanding of art in the South. There are four six-week Visiting Artist sessions scheduled for 2025. The Gibbes extends invitations to both emerging and nationally recognized artists of all backgrounds and is committed to cultivating an experience that is diverse and affirming. Applicants are encouraged to consider the following themes: environmental conservation, social justice, health and wellness and innovation and incorporate one or more in their proposal, introducing their current studio practice, artwork content and type of project they would pursue in-residency. Visiting Artists receive a weekly honorarium and one-time materials and parking stipend. Following the residency, artists will have the opportunity to exhibit works in the Ruth and Bill Baker Art Sales Gallery and collaborate on exclusive products to be sold in the Museum Store. There are also opportunities to lead adult workshops and participate in virtual programs. Before you apply, please download and review the Requirements and Rules, Eligibility, and FAQs. Entries must be submitted via Slideroom.
