Two International Residencies, studio progress
The Kamiyama Artist in Residency Program offers visual artists a month-long residency in the Japanese countryside to focus on the creation of new work. Applicants must be able to speak and understand Japanese or English. Residents are offered transportation, a materials allowance, studio space, exhibition space, an honorarium, and accommodation. I am applying to this one and picked up my International Postal Money Order today.
Danish International Visual Art Exchange Program
To promote creative exchange between Danish and foreign artists and art institutions, The Danish Arts Council has established an artist in residence program in Denmark. The program makes it possible to invite artists from abroad to stay and work in Denmark for extended periods.The Danish Arts Council will let individuals or institutions within the Danish art world propose candidate artists from abroad – preferably with a view of working together with the artists during their staying in Denmark on projects such as exhibitions, workshops, public talks, and the like. Based on the proposals submitted, The Danish Arts Council’s Committee for International Visual Art will decide whom to invite.
I looked into sending my paintings via UPS - at least $150 per painting (4 ft X 6 ft) and that's only shipping. The UPS people thought that the packaging would be about the same so that comes to at least $300 per painting, which is more than the previously mentioned place.
I've got 5 paintings on the go in the studio. The Payne's Gray painting has completely changed to something i think is more joyous. I started another 24 X 36 inch painting. I've returned to the previous blue painting - it needed more. I am continuing with the little portrait and the next 4 ft X 6 ft painting based on "Orchid".
