Sometimes a single institution offers many opportunities. If you follow this blog regularly, you’ll know that sometimes we focus on one place with many deadlines – think Banff. This week, the spotlight is on Oolite Arts, an artist support organization based in Miami where there are multiple deadlines coming up. Take a look, see if one of these might be right for you, and if so, put your name in the running. The worst thing they can say is no, and even if they to, there’s always next time.
Oolite Arts’ Home + Away Residency offers paid, multi-week residencies with studio time, professional networking, and community building at partner institutions including Bag Factory, Artpace San Antonio, and MASS MoCA. Visit the website for more info. Deadline is July 31.
The Oolite Arts Studio Residency offers one year of free Miami Beach studio space, professional development, exhibitions, and career support, plus eligible South Florida artists receive a $15,000 housing stipend. Learn more at the website. Deadline is July 31.
The Oolite Arts Cinematic Residency supports South Florida filmmakers creating first feature films with $50,000 funding, mentorship, studio space, production resources, and industry connections for ambitious microbudget cinema. More information at the website. Deadline is July 31.
Praxis Center keeps tabs on opportunities around the art world, bringing you highlights every week and offering support, resources, and expertise to help you reach your career goals. The bad news is that rejection is inevitable when you apply for various opportunities, but the good news is that’s no reason to stop trying. If you keep your focus and make a plan, you will move forward. We have seen it time and time again.
