The Deering Estate is launching the application for the 2021-22 Artist-in-Residence Program.
The Artist in Residence Studio Program and Non-Studio Project Residency are located at the Deering Estate, a Miami-Dade County Park, Recreation and Open Space facility located in Palmetto Bay, a nature preserve with eight endemic eco-systems, and a historic site with two house museums listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
For more information, visit the Deering Estate website at deeringestate.org or contact the Curatorial Office at 305-235-1668 ext. 238.
About the program: The Deering Estate seeks to continue Charles Deering’s legacy of arts patronage by supporting emerging and mid-career artists who work in a multitude of disciplines and media. The prestigious and competitive Artist-in-Residence Program is a direct extension of this legacy, and acts as a wonderful incubator for creative ideas, unique experiences, and collaborative opportunities that engage the public.
A call to artists is currently available for the Deering Estate Artist-in-Residence (AIR) Program for Visual, Literary, Performing, and Cross-disciplinary artists. Artists are invited to apply before the Oct. 17, 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) deadline. The application is for Studio Residencies and Non-Studio Project Residencies at the Deering Estate that begin as early as Dec. 1.
Application Information: Interested artists must complete a formal application, which is available on Creative Force. A printable Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document is available on the Deering Estate website to assist applicants with answers to common questions. The FAQ also is incorporated into the application format.
Deadline for Submission: The complete application must be submitted by the deadline Oct. 17 by 11:59 p.m. (EST).
Eligibility: Eligibility information is listed within the FAQ and application format. Please read carefully to choose the appropriate residency type.
Cost: No cost is associated with the application process or residency program.
Benefits: This program offers the opportunity for professional artists to pursue their artistic discipline, create a body of work, connect with other artists and engage the public, while interacting with the historic, archeological, and natural elements of the estate’s inspiring environment. Other benefits include access to archives, Education and Interpretive staff, and possible partnership opportunities for grants. Artists are encouraged to interact with the public during their regular studio hours whenever possible.
The AIR program offers residents free access to the site and/or studio space for extended periods on the beautiful, inspiring, and historic site. Collaboration with other residents, estate programs, and estate partners are encouraged and welcomed. Each artist studio is slightly different, but all provide space in one of our historic buildings for 2 to 12 months.
The program welcomes shared and collaborative residencies and seeks to include a broad scope of contemporary and traditional artistic practices. The residency does not provide for overnight housing, and artists must provide their own supplies.
Cultural Arts Programming at the Deering Estate is made possible with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners, and The Deering Estate Foundation Inc.
