Apply by April 30 for Bunnell’s four-week Fiber Arts Residency

Artists can apply through April 30 for Bunnell Street Arts Center’s four-week Alaska Fiber Arts Residency. The residency seeks an artist exploring the relationships between wearable art and fashion.

The residency aims to support designers working in fashion, costume design, sculpture or associated fields, in particular those whose practice is experimental and hard to define. Through the course of the residency, the artist conducts collaborations with local participants and produces pieces to be included in the Homer Fiber Art Collective’s annual Wearable Arts Runway Show.

Bunnell Street Arts Center’s Artist-in-Residence Program aims to strengthen individual practice through collaboration and community engagement. Its residencies are designed to celebrate creativity and challenge artists to incorporate social practice. The residency is open to all United States artists and includes a $2,000 artist stipend, a $500 travel allowance, lodging in a private room with a shared kitchen and living area, and $500 materials budget. There is a $30 application fee.
