How does it work?
How does it work?
- As an exchange for deeply discounted rent cost, artists dedicate about 16 hours per month to work with the public in the community. These hours can include time
on your own public-facing projects, related training and meetings, research, and time supporting our neighborhood, Big Car programs, and citywide efforts. - Artists share a detailed plan and goals for the upcoming year and beyond for their public work as part of APLR .
- Resident artists share progress and plans.
- Artists participate in group public engagement efforts on our block.
- Artists have opportunities to participate in exhibition and collaboration opportunities. We encourage partnerships between resident artists, visiting artists, other local artists, and our staff artists.
- Artists residents are communicative, collaborative, and considerate with our neighbors, Big Car staff, volunteers and partners.
- Resident artists receive research, promotion, and training support from Big Car staff and others as they will represent our partnership in the community.
- Resident artists have access to tools, resources and spaces on our campus.
