The Dougherty Arts Center is currently accepting applications for ceramic artists for its visual artist residency program. The program offers space, facilities and professional contact intended to help develop recipients as artists, with benefits that include studio space, access to kiln firing and glazes, and promotion through Dougherty’s digital presence and a resident exhibition. “This is a work exchange program where resident artists are expected to create outreach opportunities within the community such as teaching workshops, giving public presentations, critiques, and monitoring the Dougherty Arts Center’s independent study program and open studio hours. Residency terms are six months, renewable up to a total of two years,” a press release from the city explains. Applications are open now through Sept. 15 at 11:59 p.m. and can be found here.
