Residents will be expected to engage with the Alfred University campus and communities which extend to Allegany County and the Western New York, Finger Lakes and Southern Tier regions of New York. This engagement is often in the form of a public lecture \/ artist talk, a demonstration, course-specific involvement, or another agreed-upon event.<\/p>\n
We ask that all residents leave sample images and copies of work produced during their residency period for the ieaArchive<\/em>. The archive serves as an extensive educational resource for the public, students, and future residents.<\/p>\n Residencies are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature, and the Schein-Joseph Endowment.<\/p>\n Previous supporters include: The National Endowment for the Arts and the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation as well as private contributions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_row_inner limit_content=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text border_color=”transparent”]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Eligibility: The New Media Residency is open to National and International applicants. Students enrolled during the residency period are not eligible to apply, however applications of PhD candidates will be considered. We request that iea alumni wait 2 years to reapply. Successful applicants are responsible for their own visas (if necessary). The iea will provide a supporting letter to each successful candidate.<\/span><\/p>\n This residency program provides opportunities for a diverse group of artists to advance their careers and knowledge of developing new media studio technologies and practices. We support experimentation that can be instrumental in the production of an expanding and culturally significant catalog of electronic, time-based, and new media artworks.<\/span><\/p>\n Artists have access to a combination of emerging, contemporary, and historical media arts tools and materials. Many of these tools are unique and not ordinarily available in a studio setting. The resident artists have 24-hour dedicated access to the iea studios and equipment. The iea staff will be available to work with the resident artist during the regular workday. Additionally, technical staff and faculty may also be available for consultation. The iea video and sound studio offers artists an integrated system with real-time video image-processing software, hardware, and video capture. It is expected that applicants have a strong working knowledge of the processes and materials they are proposing to work with. Please view the facilities page<\/a> for more information.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Click HERE<\/strong><\/a> for an example of formatting for the application.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Successful applicants will be required to sign two contracts for using Alfred University facilities and housing. We will also need a headshot for social media.<\/p>\n AIRs give back to the community by providing an artist talk, demo, or workshop. These are recorded and shared via our YouTube channel for greater public access. Work samples and\/or final works are requested for use in the ieaArchive<\/i> for future learning opportunities. We are in full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Compliance issues relative to all exhibits, sessions and facilities are addressed by a university committee.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text border_color=”transparent”]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Eligibility: The Print + New Media Residency is open to residents of New York state only.
