- Opportunity: 2008 Call for entries
- Information: Purpose of the Residency
• to encourage the work of innovative artists
• to infuse challenging ideas and issues into the community
• to forge relationships between artists and the community
During the residency, artists make a full-timecommitment to collaborate with an
under-served community group under-served community group under-served community for up to eight weeks to create artwork based on issues relevant to the participants' lives. Artists work with the community
group approximately 6 hours per week in addition to several hours of outside time
necessary for fulfilling the goals of the residency. The residency also provides
artists with the time, space, and financial assistance to work on their own inde-
pendent projects. Residencies typically culminate in an exhibition, performance,
or installation at the community site or at the DCCA. The DCCA may also
schedule an exhibition of the artist's own work.The DCCA oversees the details
of the residency, arranges for the community partnership in cooperation with the
artist, seeks funding, and supports the planning and documentation processes. This includes a catalogue that features residencies with images, project summaries, and artists' biographies.
About the DCCA
Founded in 1979 to promote the growth and development of the contemporary arts in Delaware, the DCCA is a non-collecting museum that presents
exhibitions and programs that explore the boundaries of contemporary art,
reflects the interests of artists and a culturally diverse audience, and brings
current issues into focus. The DCCA believes that the arts are a vital part of
society and that artists are catalysts for new ideas and change. The DCCA's
programs, educational outreach, and services to the community enhance
public understanding and appreciation of contemporary art. In 2000, the
DCCA moved to its current location on Wilmington's Riverfront. The building
has three large exhibition galleries as well as four smaller galleries dedicated
to innovative projects, one-person shows of contemporary craft, and the
work of artist members and DCCA studio artists. In addition to exhibition
space, DCCA facilities include an auditorium, a studio-classroom, a museum
store, 26 artist studios, and an apartment for artists-in-residence.
Theme
For the 2009-2010 calendar year, the DCCA Visual Arts Residency program
asks artists to investigate and respond to the varying ways reality is represented and understood by contemporary society. How do we perceive, create, and represent our world in the name of reality? What role does reality telev-
sion and mass media play in the representation of life and culture? How does
the notion of reality function in a society where virtual and simulated realities
are part of the vernacular? What defines "the real world"? What ideas underlie artistic meditations on reality, today? This call is open to artists working in
both traditional and non-traditional media.

•The type of organization, including age groups, that would be a good
