| Description: | The HUB-BUB Residency Program, now entering its third year, is an eleven-month opportunity for motivated pre-professional and emerging artists and creative writers who create high quality work to live rent-free in order to focus on the creation of their work. The ideal candidates for this program are challenging, progressive artists/writers who are self-directed, motivated, and passionate about creating new work. Applicants, who must be aged 20 to 30, are judged on their application, the quality of their work, and not on publication/exhibition experience. There is one spot for a creative writer and three for visual artists. Each receives a large apartment/studio and utilities are paid. Collaboration between residents is encouraged. Each receives an exhibit/reading at the beginning of the residency and also at the end. |
