Monica Cook - 2018 Visiting Artist
The UrbanGlass Visiting Artist Fellowships will provide artists the opportunity to develop a new body of work exploring ideas and techniques using the medium of glass. Fellowships must be completed within the calendar year. The fellowship includes access to all areas of UrbanGlass' 17,000-square-foot glass working studio. In 2018, UrbanGlass will offer 3 Visiting Artist Fellowships, all of whom will be chosen through this application.
Submission deadline: Friday, February 14, 2020 at Midnight EST.
Doug Johnston, Visiting Designer 2018
The UrbanGlass Visiting Designer Fellowships will provide one individual with access to our 17,000 foot glass studio over the course of approximately 6 months. We will work with the selected participant to determine how he or she will best utilize the budget for the fellowship to experiment and create, and will pair them with talented teaching artists to guide them through their project. In addition, the participant may chose to spend some of their time taking courses in our extensive workshop program. At the end of the Fellowship, we ask that the designer gives some sort of public lecture about their time in the studio-- beyond that there are no expectations, it is truly aimed to be a time for experimentation.
Submission deadline: Friday, February 21, 2020 at Midnight EST.
