RESIDENCY FOR ART & SOCIAL JUSTICE

Each fall for 13 years, Harwood’s galleries have featured artists working at the intersections of creative expression and social justice. In 2021, For the occasion of Harwood’s 30th Anniversary, we furthered this offering and formally established an official residency program.

For a third year, we invite New Mexico-based artists whose practice is socially/politically engaged to submit project proposals for our Residency for Art & Social Justice. The nine month program begins March 1, 2023 and ends December 1, 2023. The selected artist will receive:

– A private artist studio at Harwood Art Center to work in for the duration of their 9 month residency
– A six week exhibition in both of our gallery spaces between September 20, 2023 – October 26, 2023 with an option to create an outdoor site specific installation on Harwood grounds.
– Project, promotional, and professional support from our staff
– A $1000 Artist Honorarium to support their time and creative work
– A $500 Materials Stipend to support their project costs
-Opportunity to participate in Studio Artist programs like our annual Open Studios event.

Individuals and groups are invited to apply for this residency. Applications for 2023 are now closed.
