Red Bull Arts Detroit: Artist Residency, Visiting Curator, & Writer Fellowships

Deadline August 24, 2018

Website | Application

Red Bull Arts Detroit has long been committed to providing artists the space, time, and resources necessary to push their practices forward. Starting next year, Red Bull Arts Detroit will expand its ongoing Artist Residency program, and initiate three new programs: a Visiting Curator Fellowship, Visiting Writer Fellowship, and an ongoing Micro-Grant program designed to support artists based in the metro Detroit area. Red Bull Arts Detroit’s residency and fellowship programs are designed to respond to the complex needs of an artscene—a community defined by collaboration, exploration, and mutual support.

Artist Residency Program
The expanded artist-in-residence program provides artists at different stages of their careers the resources and freedom to develop their practice. Transportation to Detroit is included, as is on-site housing and access to a 14,000-square-foot studio space. Artists are also provided with a 12,000 USD stipend. At the end of the three-month residency period, artists will participate in a group exhibition with residents from their term. 

Visiting Curator Fellowship
Conceptualized to enrich the dialogue between the Detroit art community and the international art world, the Visiting Curator Fellowship provides curators ten monthly visits to research, conceptualize, develop, and execute a contemporary art exhibition in Detroit. Travel, accommodations, and a 10,000 USD stipend are provided. 

Visiting Writer Fellowship
The Visiting Writer Fellowship allows a writer to travel to Detroit twice over a two-month period to develop a piece of writing and a public program, such as a talk or a workshop. The writer will be introduced to cultural figures throughout the city, and be in dialogue with the Red Bull Artists in Residence. Travel, accommodations, and a 2,000 USD stipend are provided.
