BALTIMORE ARTIST RETREAT 2020

Website | Application

The Baltimore Artist Retreat is an intentional space for 50 Baltimore based artists to connect with one another, in an effort to expand and deepen networks, opportunities, and practices. This retreat is driven by our belief in the power of artists as change-makers, and we are excited to have the opportunity to create a space for the sharing of skills, resources, and ideas that contribute to the success and sustainability of artists in our city.

Literary, visual, performing, and sound artists currently residing in Baltimore City and Baltimore County are invited to submit an application. The retreat is FREE for all selected artists and includes lodging and meals for the duration of the retreat. In an effort to continue cultivating our artist network, 10 of the 50 slots will be reserved for alumni artists from 2016 & 2018.

A BAR artist is someone who:

• self identifies as an emerging or mid-career artist;
• has an interest in expanding artistic networks;
• needs to access professional development resources;
• has a desire to share one’s practice with a broader audience;
• has demonstrated commitment to Baltimore’s arts community.

Participating artists will be required to:

• be open, present, and willing to act as a resource to fellow artists at the retreat and beyond;
• introduce one’s practice in a six-minute public presentation to fellow retreat guests;
• attend all scheduled sessions and remain on-site for the entirety of the retreat.
