Red Bull Arts Detroit is announcing that applications for the program's 2020 Artist Residency and Curatorial Fellowship are now open to the public. In an effort to refine and renew its dedication to the cultivation and advancement of the arts, Red Bull Arts Detroit will make structural changes to its 2020 program.
As one of Red Bull Arts' two public-facing spaces, Red Bull Arts Detroit is the home of the program's Artist Residency, Curatorial Fellowship, and rolling Local Micro-Grant Initiative. In an effort to increase the program's accessibility for a diverse pool of applicants, the Artist Residency will shorten in length to two months, respecting the fact that many artists are unable to make a three-month commitment. Rather than each residency term culminating in an exhibition, the Red Bull Arts team will curate public exhibitions, accompanied by the annual Curatorial Fellow exhibition. In addition to the $5,000 unrestricted stipend, the Curatorial Fellowship now includes a $15,000 exhibition budget to be utilized for the exhibition by the Fellow. Full program details available here. Applications will be reviewed by a committee of celebrated arts professionals, who will select nine Artists-in-Residence and one Curatorial Fellow. Red Bull Arts Detroit's 2020 Selection Committee comprises artist, writer and curator, Michelle Grabner; writer, artist and Associate Curator of Exhibitions at The Studio Museum in Harlem, Legacy Russell; artist and 2018 Red Bull Arts Detroit Artist-in-Residence Joiri Minaya; and art historian and theorist Michael Stone-Richards.Red Bull Arts Detroit's Artist Residency program will continue to provide artists at different stages of their careers the resources and freedom to develop their practice, with nine artists selected for three two-month-long residency cycles. Transportation to Detroit is included, as are fully-furnished off-site living accommodations, and access to a 6,000-square-foot shared studio space. Artists are also provided an $8,000 unrestricted stipend, as well as a $2,000 individual budget for hiring assistants, sourcing materials, or otherwise producing work in Detroit. Deadline: September 30, 2019.
