Alembic Resident Artists Program

The Alembic Resident Artist Program at PWNW offers a variety of residencies.

CORE RESIDENCY

2-4 local artists are awarded 100-150 hours of studio time to be used within a 9-11 month period, plus an artist fee. Opportunity for sharing work is included, as well as an opportunity for an Alembic Co-Production within the the following two years.. See list below of our Alembic Alums.

Our next call for the core residency is now open with a deadline of July 1 for residencies beginning in September 2024. https://pwnw-pdx.org/2024/04/01/rfp-alembic-residency-11/

PARENT RESIDENCIES

One local and one visiting parent artist whose work engages a strong movement, body or dance-based component receive studio time, a stipend, and, for the visiting artist, housing in PDX.

In 2022, Corrie Befort & Jason Anderson (Pullman, WA) spent two weeks in our studio, collaborating with local artists. In 2023, our visiting parent artist was Kaitlin McCarthy (Seattle), and our inaugural local parent artist is Latoya Lovely. Read about them here.

Incoming Alembic Parent Artists for 2024 are Heather Kravas (Seattle) and Muffie Delgado Connelly (PDX).

Our next call for parent residencies will happen November/December 2024. Click here for last year’s request for proposals.

Residencies may involve research/rehearsal and creation and sharing work, informally or in a full production. Past artists include Scott Heron + Brendan Connelly, Melinda Ring Special Projects + Renée Archibald, Alice Gosti, Blake Beckham, Meg Wolfe, Danza La Barbacoa and Clare Whistler.
