calls to visual and performing artists: urban culture project studio residency program applications due july 16 for one-year terms beginning september 2010
Charlotte Street Foundation’s Urban Culture Project seeks applications from artists interested in being considered for its Studio Residency Program for both visual and performing artists. Applications are next due FRIDAY, JULY 16 (postmarked or delivered by 5pm to CSF’s offices, 1000 West 25th Street).
UCP’s Studio Residency Program has been providing free studio spaces since 2004 for talented and dedicated local visual artists in need of space in which to work. In 2009, UCP expanded the program to include performing artists, when it launched a new facility at City Center Square, 1100 Main, 5th floor. The City Center Square facility provides space for both performing and visual artists (visual artists occupy small, private studios; performing artists share the use of a large, open rehearsal space that includes a platform stage and Marley floor), making for an environment conducive to cross-disciplinary collaboration and exchange. In addition to City Center Square, UCP’s Studio Residency Program also provides space to visual artists at pARTnership Place, 906 Grand, 13th floor.
The studios are granted to selected artists for one year terms. No full time students will be considered.

I am a post two year graduate of kansas city art institute. I am currently living in North Carolina and am looking for space in Kansas City to join the community again. My work is assembled around a collective of the human condition and an examination of nature/ nurture theories complied from Thoreau, Derrida, and many, many others. It takes the form of public performances, installations, and drawings. I would like to use the space given to me to introduce my own experience of rural life back into the urban culture that is Kansas City, to create something new and radically thrilling, not forgetting interactive. I will attempt to call attention to the gestures of politics and manners that parade back and forth from the country culture to the city story telling. Windmills are my latest favorite complex machine. They give shape and system to a seemingly whimsical and very escapist force. We are here on earth to fart around. Don’t let anyone tell you any different, not even windmills. Thank you.
