Fibres - Textile and Technology
Deadline: February 4, 2022
Fee to apply: $5 per piece
Group Exhibition at AIR Gallery, England
Textile making traditions spans global cultures as one of the earliest human technologies. It has been a staple in industry, fashion, craft and decorative arts throughout the ages but it particularly made a resurgence in the 1960s back into the contemporary art world. Since then Fibre and textile arts have been developing new forms and language -becoming more conceptual and cross-disciplinary, even into this digital age.
We're are seeking works that explore (but are not limited to) the following areas:
Textiles (Fibre art, Ecology, Upcycling, Craft, Natural vs Synthetic materials, Traditional vs contemporary methods of making, Materiality, Cross-disciplinary art)
Technology (Fibre optics, making and machinery of modern textiles, video/film, animation, VR, 3D printing, digital responses to textiles and fibres)
We are particularly interested in works that cross over between the two but this is not essential. Works can explore their own themes but there must have a link to the idea of textiles, materiality or fibres in some form.
This will accumulate in a group exhibition that will explore the the relationship between textiles and technology; between the ecology and the digital that will take place in March 2023.

Dear Artists With Anxiety: Online Residency
Deadline: December 10, 2022 is next deadline.
They have calls for artists quarterly.
Fee to apply: $15
Online Online Residency
DAWA Residency is a ONLINE artist residency, which will be hosted entirely on Dear Artists Instagram.
Each DAWA artist-in-residence will have 5 days on our platform to share their art and mental health journey.
Our mission is to provide opportunities for artists to create and engage in honest and constructive dialogue around mental health, to make mental health challenges more visible, and to offer hope of recovery to fellow artists.
What will DAWA residents receive?
DAWA residents will be introduced to the 6,000+ audience of Dear Artists on the week of their residency. Their posts during their residency will be displayed on Dear Artists Instagram as well as on the Story Highlights.
DAWA residents will receive a small stipend on the week of their residency. (As of now we are a small artist-run organization. We don't have any funding from external sources, so we offer what we can to support our residents.)
DAWA residents are invited to create a new body of work to share during their 5-day residency. They are also welcome to revisit previous works. DAWA residents are encouraged to share their mental health journey with the audience.
How much commitment do I need to make if I get selected?
During your 5-day residency, you can make your own schedule and share as much or as little as you want. We only ask that our residents make at least one post per day during the residency. We have many residents who work full-time while being a resident.
Who can apply?
Artists who are 18 years old and older from all locations are welcome to apply. All art mediums welcome (writers, painters, sculptors, dancers, photographers, filmmakers, fiber artists, collage artists, you get the idea!)

Plant Life for London Reader
Deadline: November 15, 2022
Location: Based in London, England
Fee to apply: n/a
Online & print publication
Open Call: Plant Life
Stories, poems, essays, and art about the secret lives of plants and the people who live with them
Is there something strange about that person with a hundred house plants? Or something enviable? Plant collecting can be an eccentric addiction, but house plants and patio gardening kept many connected to nature during Covid lockdowns. A walk in the quiet forest can be rejuvenating. What do plant people know that others don’t? A time lapse video of a house plant shows instead a house pet. Electrical signals in a tree can play a beautiful symphony. Beds of seaweed and forests are the lungs of the planet. Vegetation is the ultimate source of all our food and all our oxygen. Plants have been on this planet for over 500 million years, the Amazon forest is over 10 million years old, and individual redwoods on the West Coast of America are over 4,000 years old—yet they are now facing more devastation every year. We and the trees share a common ancestor, but today we are more detached from plant life than ever. Plants enliven our window sills and sustain our lives; but what do they mean to us, and what do we mean to them?
The London Reader is issuing an open call for stories, poems, essays, and art about plant people, plants, nature, and our interconnected lives woven tight like roots. Submissions should show how characters like us are connected to plants and nature.

Cut Me Up Issue 10 marks a return to the roots of Cut Me Up: To relate, respond and connect. For Issue 10, we ask artists to connect with the psychological self-portraits published in Cut Me Up Issue 9: Scars and All, and use these artworks as raw material to make a response artwork.

It may be what the artist is expressing about their life, how they see themselves, or how that relates to how you see yourself. For Cut Me Up Issue 10, the only criteria are to find the connections. And then respond.
Find full submission details and grab a copy of Cut Me Up Issue 9 to deconstruct at: cutmeupmagazine.com. DM any questions!
Issue 10 marks the five year anniversary of Cut Me Up, and this special issue will be created by Cut Me Up founder/editor an artist, Andrea Burgay (@andreaburgay)
More about Cut Me Up:
Cut Me Up is a participatory magazine of visual call and response founded by Andrea Burgay. Each issue presents a curated selection of original collage images that will become raw material for reader-artists to respond by cutting, reconfiguring, and transforming them into new artworks, in response to curatorial calls addressing contemporary issues. The newly created responses form the content of the next issue.
NOTE: Each issue of Cut Me Up Magazine asks artists to submit work incorporating part of their last issue. I have a copy of Issue 9. Email Julie at art studio sf at gmail with your snailmail address and I'll pop a random page in the mail to you.

The Pool will remain active for a minimum of two (2) years with the option to renew for up to two (2) additional years. Inclusion in the Pool does not guarantee an exhibition or commission.
Background: In 2019, Metro introduced digital displays in rail stations that included dedicated space for public art.

Metro Art is now establishing an Artist Pool for Digital Media specifically for these specialized public art programming opportunities, which may include licensed or commissioned video, animation, stop-motion, experimental film, artistic performance documentation, and other forms of digital media artwork. The intent of these temporary exhibitions is to engage transit riders, contribute to an improved customer experience, and communicate broadly about themes relevant to Los Angeles, Metro ridership, the neighborhoods surrounding the transit lines, transportation, commuting, and/or movement and travel.
Upcoming opportunities include, but are not limited to: a digital screen at the future Leimert Park Station on the K Line (Crenshaw/LAX); digital screen arrays at the 7th Street/Metro Center Station and Hollywood/Highland Stations; and new digital customer information panels to be installed at several rail stations.
Metro Art enhances the customer experience with innovative, award-winning visual and performing arts programming that encourages ridership and connects people, sites, and neighborhoods throughout Los Angeles County. Metro Art directs all arts and cultural programs integrated into Metro projects and on Metro property and is the lead for all agency non-Metro property arts and cultural initiatives.
Eligibility: This call is open to professional artists at all career stages who create moving image art in the digital medium and are legally authorized to work in the United States (per U.S. Department of Labor). Metro employees are ineligible.
The 2022 Artist Pool for Digital Media Opportunities Q&A will be updated weekly by Metro Art staff. The last day to submit questions is Wednesday, September 7 by 5:00 pm (PDT) and the last update to the Q&A doc will be posted on Friday, September 9 at 5:00 pm (PDT).

We seek work that showcases, examines, or repurposes historical American culture. This is, of course, an enormous and diverse tub of spare parts, and we want to see what you can create. Give us fiction that dramatizes weird old folk songs or steals their characters. Give us love poetry that mixes language cribbed from The Federalist Papers with language from WWII propaganda posters. We want aspects of Americana we may not have even heard of yet.

Thoughtworks Arts: Artist Residency in the Californian Desert
Deadline: September 12, 2022
Location: California desert
Fees: not sure
Open to: individuals, collectives and organizations
In the new post-lockdown era, what are we on the brink of? Ecological, democratic and social anxieties demand we remake our futures. Do viable alternatives exist to allow us to cohabit the planet with reimagined technologies, renewable resources, rewired communities and low impact lifestyles? What can be accomplished if it all falls apart? What new horizons can inspire and prepare us?
Thoughtworks Arts seeks two artists-in-residence for separate but parallel residencies on-site at Mars.college, an educational programme, R&D Lab and off-grid residential community in the desert area of Bombay Beach, California. Mars is geographically remote but digitally connected, cultivating a low-cost, high-tech lifestyle exploring emerging technologies.
Artists will receive online incubation and project facilitation through Thoughtworks’ global network of technologists, and a stipend of $11,000 to cover all expenses including transportation and living costs. Mandatory dates of the programme run from 1 January to 31 March 2023, with arrival required at least a few days before the programme commences. The two artists-in-residence will live in RVs (recreational vehicles) in the desert full-time throughout the programme.
Artists are invited to apply to develop a project on one of two themes: ‘Speculative Futures - Do It There, Take It Back To The Neighborhood’ or ‘Alternative AI Creative Infrastructures - The Sky’s The Limit’.
Mars is not able to support large groups or families, or pets, due to the DIY and rugged nature of the living environment, but can support smaller collaborations. If you are applying from a foreign country please check both the visa and immigration policies, as work permits cannot be issued by Thoughtworks Arts or Mars.college. Letters of support for artists grants can be issued.

Half Mystic Literary Journal - Call for Art and Musician Interviews
In a piece of poetry, prose, art, or music -- we are interested in music, in every form that takes. More specifically: for the journal, we like pieces that make us rethink the issue’s theme, pieces that serve as incantations and invocations for melody. For the press, we like books that are different from anything we’ve ever published, books that introduce music into their lexicon in stunning and surprising ways. We look for work that defies genre, accounts for the unaccountable, wakes us up, burns us whole. We generally gravitate to the lyrical over the straight-talking and the surreal over the down-to-earth—but also, we like to be surprised.
Featured artist submissions: Send a cover letter (including a biographical note, an artist statement, and a brief description of what music means to you) and five to ten examples of previous art, in any medium. Featured artists illustrate Half Mystic Journal with a suite of 13-15 pieces inspired by the issue’s theme.
Band and musician interview requests: Send a cover letter (including a biographical note, the musical genre in which you primarily work, and your most recent releases), links to where we can find you online, and—if applicable—a press kit. Interviews are published on our blog, sent to our mailing list, and promoted on our social media.

The Loss Show
It’s hard to know where to start isn’t it? How can one possibly begin to address this sense of loss we all feel? Over the last two years so much has gone missing: family, friends, colleagues, romantic relationships, places, institutions, jobs, prospects, plans for travel, stability, safety, a sense of others, a sense of ourselves. Even when we try not to think about it we are conscious of it, ever present, superimposed over our own world, a second one made up of vacuums, sustained fermata, dialogues dropped, cut-outs and silhouettes.
But in our efforts to cope with unrelenting disaster and upheaval, we were forced to push ourselves forever urgently, desperately forward. Which meant we could not take the time to grieve for what had been ripped from us. And on those occasions where we did stop to reflect on it, the burden of it weighed so heavily on us that we hesitated to share it, even with those close to us
…
Tell us what you have lost. In whatever medium you claim. Many of us already have pieces concerning this very subject we began in the last two years that we faltered to bring to completion. We humbly request you take them out and resume where you left off. Whether you choose to propose them for this exhibit or not.
Please email all proposals to fourteenfifteengallery@gmail.com, under the subject heading “The Loss Show /submission” by May 27th.
We are accepting submissions and proposals for solo and group exhibitions, curatorial projects, pop-up events, workshops, performances and other creative experiences.
Proposals should include:
Project description (1 page max)
Up to 10 images or links to audio/video
Email, phone
artist statement (or project/curatorial statement)
Your proposal can also include (optional):
CV/artist resume
brief bio
the month you’d like to show (no guarantees)
social media / web links
Please note: if your project doesn’t exist yet, you can send representative images of your work.
Please email all proposals to fourteenfifteengallery@gmail.com

Twenty-Something: Call for Submissions
Twenty-Something (July 13 to July 31, 2022) explores the transitional years from childhood to adulthood: the twenties. This exhibition will give a voice to the current challenges that young adults face right here, right now.
In an age where everything is being questioned; gender and sexuality, family dynamics, self-identity, relationship expectations, religion, politics, careers, lifestyle, and even geography; there is an incredible amount of room for interpretation and freedom within this exhibition. The most important thing is that the art reflects each artist’s thoughts and feelings on growing up in this time of great societal change. It can be about the world at large, or about your own experiences, as long as it reflects you and your perspective.
Submission Deadline: June 12, 11: 59 PM
The exhibition will be held in the North Gallery and Online from July 13 to 31, 2022
Submission Fee: $20 + HST for one work; $35 + HST for two works.
Artists who wish to apply must be between the ages of 20 and 29 and are encouraged to submit up to two pieces in any variety of medium or technique, with a maximum width of 40 inches. Each artist is asked to include an artist statement (up to 200 words) explaining the inspiration behind the artwork and how it relates to the themes of the show. This will be included in a downloadable PDF catalogue available through the website.
Applicants must be able to drop off their artwork themselves to Propeller if they want to be considered for the in-person show. Artists may choose to apply for the online exhibition only. Depending on the number of submissions and factoring in the size of the gallery, not all applicants may be selected for the in-gallery exhibition.

The San Francisco Arts Commission invites artists and artist teams residing in the United States to submit qualifications for the 2023 Art on Market Street Kiosk Poster Series.
The total budget is $12,000 inclusive of the artist fee, poster designs, digital file preparation, and proofing. The budget does not include printing and installation, which is managed and paid for by the Arts Commission.
Project Description
The Art on Market Street Kiosk Poster Series has commissioned new artwork by artists on an annual basis, since 1992.

Women's Studio Workshop Residency
Deadline: May 15, 2022
The Studio Workspace Residency is an opportunity for artists to create new work and fully immerse themselves in WSW’s supportive environment. We invite applications from artists at any stage of their careers. This residency gives artists the gift of time, an uninterrupted period to live and work away from the stresses of daily life. Artists may choose to work in any one or more of our studios: intaglio, letterpress, papermaking, screenprinting, darkroom photography, or ceramics.
Artists receive a thorough studio orientation and are expected to work independently, although studio staff is available to provide assistance. Deep technical assistance can be arranged for an additional fee. Artists must provide their own materials, some of which can be purchased from WSW.
As of 2019, all workspace residencies are fully subsidized! This means that while artists are still responsible for their own travel, materials, meals, and other personal incidentals while in residence, WSW provides housing and studio space at no cost.

Sustainable Arts Foundation Grants for Artists Who Are Also Parents
Sustainable Arts Foundation will make awards of $5,000 each to twenty artists and writers with children. Additionally, we will name twenty finalists. Our awards offer unrestricted cash, which recipients can use as they see fit. Our selection process is focused almost entirely on the strength of the submitted portfolio.
Eligibility
To be eligible, the applicant must have at least one child under the age of 18. Parents of older children with a disability or special needs may also be eligible.
We are inspired by anyone making creative work while raising a family. Given the intense demand for these awards (we typically receive 2,000-3,000 applications), and the fact that the awards are based on demonstrated excellence in your discipline, we don’t recommend that artists or writers just beginning their creative careers apply to this program.
While we don’t require that applicants have published or exhibited their work, the rigor and critique involved in that process can certainly benefit the portfolio. Portfolios of writing or artwork created in a more personal vein for sharing with friends and family are not suitable. We invite you to view our list of previous awardees and follow the links to their work to get a feel for their level of craft.
Visual artists may apply in one of the following categories:
Book Arts
Ceramics
Drawing
Fiber Arts and Textiles
Illustration
Installation

1.5° CELSIUS at MSU Science Gallery
Deadline February 4, 2022
Submit your questions about the exhibition through the form on their page (link below).
Experimentation, provocation, and research are at the heart of MSU SG’s values and programs. This exhibition will explore the problems and dangers of the Anthropocene and responses to counteract those, through the lens of artists, psychologists, story tellers, digital gamers, molecular biologists, performers, neuroscientists, designers, computer scientists, nurses, engineers, musicians, mathematicians, architects, and young people.
The Anthropocene refers to the current (geological) period distinguished by the extraordinary impact of humankind on the earth. Often, it is used to call attention to the gravest challenges of the near and distant future, involving climate, ecosystems, and people and to encapsulate the time leading, perhaps unstoppably, to the extinction of life on the planet. What steps can we take, and how can we motivate ourselves enough to take them, to halt this epoch’s depredation of the earth? And how can we create a sustainable and respectful relationship with the earth and its ecosystems and its other lifeforms? This question looms over everything else transpiring in the physical and social world.
The impacts associated with a temperature increase of 1.5°C (the target limit set out in the Paris Agreement) above pre-industrial levels would be severe. Such a rise could seem like a distant reality, but we may reach it sooner than we think. Can we stop short of 1.5° Celsius?
Possible Themes and Topics
Can we retire fossil fuel and turn to electrification? What has COVID shown us about the animal kingdom’s ability to respond to different levels of human activity? What role could technology play in reversing destructive trends and practices of the past? What can be learned from Indigenous cultures and practices to create a vision and sustain a gentler, more desirable impact? What kinds of social organization and collaborative practices could move us in a less catastrophic direction?
Your proposal could be a new or existing artwork, performance, workshop, digital intervention, research project, virtual reality game, or other activity. We strongly recommend that you keep our target audience of young people aged 15-25 years in mind and consider including interactive or participatory elements. We would love humor to feature in the exhibition. Check out our FAQ page, for tips on what makes a good submissions, answers to questions, etc. (https://sciencegallery.org/faqs )

Artist Residencies at A Studio in the Woods - Rising: Climate in Crisis
Proposals due March 10th, 2022. Residencies are 6 weeks, September 2022 - May 2023. Recipients will be provided $3000 as a stipend and $2000 towards materials, plus full room and board.
Rising: Climate in Crisis Residencies at A Studio in the Woods invite artists to face the severity of the climate crisis and be agents of change to guide our collective understanding, response, and vision as we shape our shared future. New Orleans and the inhabitants of our region are frequently invoked as some of the most vulnerable to the effects of environmental degradation. While sea levels, temperatures and emotions are rising, our highly manipulated landscape can be seen as a microcosm of the global environment, manifesting both the reckoning and hope which are required in the ways humans interact with shifting urban and natural ecosystems. As the climate crisis permeates the collective understanding of the future, the challenges faced by Southern Louisiana resonate exponentially. We look to artists to ignite our imaginations, illuminate our challenges, and offer new ways to examine the world.
Rising Residencies will provide artists with time, space, scholarship and staff support to foster critical thinking and creation of new works. The call is open to artists of all disciplines who have demonstrated an established dialogue with environmental and culturally related issues and a commitment to seeking and plumbing new depths. We ask artists to describe in detail how the region will affect their work, to propose a public component to their residency and to suggest ways in which they will engage with the local community.
ARTIST ELIGIBILITY
Local, national, and international visual, musician/composing, performance, literary, new media, and interdisciplinary artists are eligible to apply. Both established and emerging artists may apply, but a dedicated practice and demonstrated commitment to public engagement are expected. Artists of color are encouraged to apply and we are particularly interested in receiving applications from Indigenous artists. Students enrolled in full time degree-seeking programs are not eligible. Collaborative teams of up to two artists can be in residence, please see our FAQ for more information on how to apply as a collaborative team.
SELECTION PROCESS A multidisciplinary jury comprised of artists, arts professionals and environmental activists will review applications in two rounds. The first round will happen asynchronously and jurors will review and rank all applications. Top contenders will be moved to a second round that happens live. We offer to share anonymized jury feedback to all applicants. The jury will judge proposals on the following criteria:
The creativity and integrity of the proposal
Demonstrated ability to collaborate with colleagues and wider audiences
Projects that are deeply respectful of the communities and individuals with whom they interact
The proposal’s public component and its depth of engagement with the community

It is a word that attempts to describe the multiplicity of ethnicities and experiences related to the international Indigenous, Black, Pan-African, Afro-descendent, Arab, Brown, Latinx, South American, and Asian communities.
Transcultural communities, in all our diversity, have much in common. However, to truly be in solidarity with one another, we must celebrate our differences rather than skim over them in an attempt to boost our similarities. Just as in a family, or a forest, each individual is completely different from the others, I see our interconnected communities as relatives. We are members of an international family with much to learn and teach one another, nurtured through a sophisticated system of roots. The experiences of struggle, unbelonging, colonialism, and marginalization have affected communities the world over, particularly when displaced and uprooted in so-called Western societies.
Every time I would use or read words like “marginalized”, “people of colour”, “global south”, “BIPOC” or “colonized”, I found them limiting in describing the multitude of experiences of a rich diversity of people they claim to represent. These words are often white-centering and are unimaginative. I coined the term deeply-rooted in place of words that identify us as inferior, marginal, or secondary to whiteness. I use this word to describe the multiplicity of ethnicities who are connected not just through struggle, but through deeply rooted ancient identities, familiar spirits, and shared experiences of resistance to white supremacy and colonialism.
This exhibit seeks to center the experiences of the deeply-rooted, through a decolonial lens. By reflecting on both ancestry and futurity, we will collectively offer new narratives, definitions and representations of what it means to be both ancient and novel in a world on the cusp of change.” – Sundus Abdul Hadi
The juror is interested in questions around the following :
Tell us a story about deep roots.
How does it feel to be deeply-rooted?
As deeply-rooted people, how can we see ourselves into the future?
How can we honor our roots and ancestry in our acknowledgement of our plural identities?
How can we define ourselves outside of the limits of the colonial construct while using the English language?
How can we imagine ourselves differently from the way we have been represented by those outside of our communities?
How can we create new narratives to alleviate the burden of constant correction that is placed on the shoulders of many deeply rooted artists?
What does transcultural solidarity mean for you?
Imagine a world where colonialism never happened.
Show us decolonization in practice.

KADIST San Francisco: Two Collection Fellowships, Americas and Asia
For KADIST, art is a driving force for social transformation. KADIST’s programs often highlight a key issue of today through presenting the voices of artists who respond to the urgent social and political forces of our time. With permanent exhibition spaces in Paris and San Francisco, and offices in Guangzhou and Mexico City, KADIST produces exhibitions and programs across five continents, through curatorial collaborations, in order to responsibly address the complexity of local cultures. KADIST’s spaces in Paris and San Francisco present exhibitions and events, organize residencies and educational programs, and produce projects online and on social media. KADIST’s collection of 1600 contemporary artworks serves as a starting point and resource for these programs. KADIST is a non-profit organization founded in 2001. It is operated in France by an endowment fund and by a 501c3 in the United States.
Fellowships overview
KADIST San Francisco offers two six-month collection fellowships to recent or 2022 graduates of art history, museum studies, critical writing, or a related field from college or university programs (BA or MA). Remote positions with bi-monthly online meetings are negotiable.
KADIST’s fellowships provide a stipend and an opportunity to develop professional skills in collection research and management. Working closely with the organization’s staff, the fellows become vital team members in a broad international network and participate in the development of KADIST’s art collection and online art library. During the first three months of their fellowship, each fellow will research and generate original pieces of writing about photographs and video artworks by selected collection artists living and working in the Americas (first fellowship) or Asia (second fellowship). During the last three months, they will facilitate the collection’s development and management (e.g. preparing materials for the committee’s review, updating inventory, maintaining editorial content, etc.). Fellow-created collection content—images and written descriptions of artworks and artists’ practices, among other materials—will serve as a resource for curators, team members, and advisors in supporting new additions to the online library, creating exhibitions, and more. Selected fellows’ texts will be published on the KADIST website.
Responsibilities
– Produce original content about the practices and artworks of 6-8 selected artists to be shared with KADIST staff in San Francisco and Paris
– Nominate videos or photographs from the selected artists for the KADIST’s art library
– Participate in the organization-wide review process of artworks nominated for its video library
– Help facilitate the management of the collection inventory and logistics
– Lead and oversee production of 3-5 short video content with collection artists for social media
Qualifications
The ideal candidates for KADIST Fellows are highly motivated, extremely organized, personable, and detail-oriented and envision themselves to be part of an international contemporary art nonprofit. They possess the following qualities:
– Knowledge of contemporary artists’ practices, artworks, ideas, and art scenes in either the Americas or Asia
– Fluency in writing concise descriptions of artworks and artist biographies
– Willingness to engage in research practices, spontaneous discussion, and considered argument
– Attention to detail with rigorous administrative and multi-tasking skills
– Ability to work autonomously while being proactive, communicative, and open to feedback
– Fluency in both spoken and written English is mandatory
Position Details
Each fellowship requires a six-month commitment, an average of eight hours a week. Each fellow will receive a stipend of USD 5,000 for the duration of the fellowship. Remote positions with periodic online meetings are negotiable. The fellowship period will begin the week of February 7 or 14, 2022.
One fellowship will focus on researching artists working and living in the Americas while the other will focus on artists working and living in Asia.
Application
For immediate consideration, please send a resume, a short letter of interest (up to 400 words), and 3 writing samples by January 9, 2022 at 11:59 pm PT to jobs@kadist.org. Please indicate “Americas Fellowship” or “Asia Fellowship” in the subject line depending on the fellowship you wish to apply for. A shortlist of finalists will be invited for interviews.
Equal Opportunity
KADIST is an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, color,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or protected veteran status. Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) are strongly encouraged to apply.
About KADIST
We believe contemporary artists make an important contribution to a progressive society, their work often addressing key issues of our time. KADIST, a non-profit organization dedicated to exhibiting the work of artists represented in its collection, encourages this engagement and affirms contemporary art’s relevance within social discourse. KADIST’s local hubs in Paris and San Francisco present exhibitions and events, and organize residencies and educational initiatives, as well as producing projects online and via social media. Concurrently, KADIST is actively establishing networks across five areas—North America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Asia and Latin America—inviting new artists into the collection and initiating collaborative programs, especially exhibitions with museums of each region. Together, they aim at facilitating new connections across cultures and creating vibrant conversations about contemporary art and ideas.

Call-for-Art: A Between @ Root Division
Deadline: December 14, 2021
Root Division invites artists to apply for A Between, curated by MUZ, taking place in the Root Division gallery in March of 2022.
This exhibition explores how environments shape the perceptions and positions that guide ideas of self, connection to others, and collective activity. It poses the question- how does the amount of time spent in a specific environment also affects one’s vision towards it?
For A Between, the artist and curatorial collective, MUZ, is looking for work that explores disconnections and interconnections through our environments — which include, but are not limited to, physical, religious/spiritual, virtual, emotional, and subconscious spaces.
Artists working in all mediums are welcome to apply.
Exhibition Dates: Feb. 24 – Mar. 23, 2022

$1200 – moving a grandfather clock from Syracuse, NY, to Denver, CO
I'm trying to get my 2nd great-grandfather's grandfather clock shipped to me in Denver, but because of the state of the shipping industry, no one is shipping art and antiques. Do you know anyone in the Syracuse-area with a van who'd be interested in a road trip to the Rockies? The clock 8 feet tall and already wrapped in furniture blankets. So it would have to be transported in a van. I can offer $1,200 (half upfront, half on delivery). Looking to do this before the end of 2021.

The Writer's Room at The Betsy
A working studio space for visiting writers and artists to create, develop their craft and share their work through community programs, The Writer’s Room pays homage to the many ‘writing rooms’ that existed in pre-war hotels where guests recorded memories and linked to home.
Artists in Residence use a desk donated to The Betsy by the Hyam Plutzik Centennial Committee to commemorate the poet’s sojourn as a soldier in Florida during the 1940’s on his way to war. Born over 100 years ago, and a three-time Pulitzer Prize finalist before his death, Hyam Plutzik is the father of The Betsy Hotel owner, Jonathan Plutzik.
Residencies
Since The Writer’s Room opened in 2012, more than 1000 working writers (and other creatives) have stayed at The Betsy and engaged in community service programs.
The Writer’s Room at The Betsy hosts professional artists in all disciplines (in the visual arts we host digital artists only) year round. While artists in all disciplines are encouraged to apply, The Betsy program has a sweet spot for poets. Residencies at The Betsy are typically Sunday through Wednesday. In some circumstances, residencies can be a full week. There is no charge to stay in The Writer’s Room. In exchange for the opportunity, visiting writers are asked to:
Contribute a written piece to our blog (open format)
Participate in a community event to introduce and discuss their work
Donate a recent publication (if available) to one of The Betsy's libraries.
*Writers are eligible to reapply for residency after three years.

Light Work Artist-in-Residence Program
Each year Light Work invites 12-15 artists to participate in its residency program, including one artist co-sponsored by Autograph ABP and one artist commission for Urban Video Project (UVP). Artists selected for the residency program are invited to live in Syracuse for one month. They receive a $5,000 stipend, an apartment to stay in, a private digital studio, a private darkroom, and 24-hour access to our facility.
Participants in the residency program are expected to use their month to pursue their own projects: photographing in the area, scanning or printing for a specific project or book, and so on. Artists are not obligated to lecture at our facility, though we hope that the artists are friendly and accessible to local artists and students. Work by each Artist-in-Residence becomes a part of the Light Work Collection and is published in a special edition of Contact Sheet: The Light Work Annual along with an essay commissioned by Light Work.
