Jerome Foundation Artist Residency
Thirteen months ago I applied for this "place-based" art opportunity that would expand my skills. Eight months ago I was humbled to learn that I was 1 of 2 artists selected for 2022 from the pool of submissions that came from Minnesota and the 5 boroughs of New York.
And the time is now here!
The selection criteria included:
Artistic Excellence
1. Original voice, innovation, vision, imagination, unique/groundbreaking
2. Project shows significant artistic development / Risk and opportunity for artistic excellence
3. Artistically consistent body of work
Project Merit
1. Ability to integrate art into community / Value of project to the community / Project is a good fit for the community
2. Value of proposed project to artist’s career / Potential for artistic growth as emerging artist
3. Feasibility of project / Ability to accomplish project in required time
For this opportunity, I had to acknowledge that "I understand this program’s place-based focus, my practice is informed by place and community, and I am interested in utilizing my art and/or artistic process to activate the people & places of Lanesboro while instigating positive change."
