8th Street Marketplace Artists-in-Residence Call-to-Artists
July 15, 2011
Call-to-Artists for September to March Residencies
Deadline August 22, 2011
Boise- The 8th Street Marketplace Artist in Residence (AiR)
program selects emerging and established artists for six-month
residencies in donated commercial office spaces in downtown Boise.
AiR originated in 8th Street Marketplace at BoDo, which continues
its commitment to the program, and expanded to an additional site
in downtown Boise-Renewal "Underground" at 8th and Fulton.
The City of Boise's Department of Arts and History, in partnership
with property owners Ephriam Greenwall, G. Square Companies, and
the Boise Weekly, is administering and co-sponsoring the program.
In August a selection panel of community business and arts leaders
will select new artists for the September - March residency. The
selections are to be made based on the strength of the artist's
work samples, letters of interest, and letters of support. The
panelists will choose artists who would engage the spaces and
audiences differently. Artists are asked to share their work with
the public during First Thursday studio tours.
