Liquitex Artist Residency Program

Liquitex is pleased to announce an Open Call for a new residency program at Manufacturers Village, available to any US-based artist from the greater New York area for a 5-week period, from March 15 – April 19, 2021.

Deadline for Submission: February 5, 2021 at 13:00

APPLY HERE: Liquitex Residency

Applicants should be artists interested in working with our materials, specifically exploring Liquitex Acrylic Gouache. While the residency is designed to engage with artists interested in a project that will incorporate acrylic gouache, there is also an opportunity to choose any of our other materials. Artists are encouraged to explore a multi-media approach to the work they wish to realize on the residency.

There will be five residencies over the course of 2021, each with a different material as its focus: Acrylic Gouache, Acrylic Mediums, Heavy Body acrylic paint and the full Basics range.

Selection Process
A jury comprised of London-based artist Rebecca Byrne, New York-based arts writer Brian Boucher and San Francisco-based artist Erik Parra will select the candidate.

The selection will be based on the artistic quality of their work, likely benefit of the residency to the artist, and the artist’s interest in engaging with Liquitex materials and embracing the overall residency experience.

Who Can Apply
Any US-based artist from the greater New York area.
Visual artists, with a minimum active art practice of at least two years.
Artists must not be engaged in another residency during the residency period.
Applicants must agree to regularly share images of work in progress with Liquitex and participate in any photography and films produced by Liquitex during the residency. These images/films may be used in Liquitex digital, print and public platforms, as well as any media channels they choose.
Applicants currently lacking a designated studio for their practice preferred.
