Opportunity

Apply for the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts (DCCA) Residency Program.

Information

*Great opportunity for students who have graduated or will be graduating in May.

The goals of this residency program are to encourage the work of innovative artists, to infuse challenging ideas and issues into the community, and to forge relationships between artists and the community.

During the residency, an artist lives at the DCCA and makes a full-time commitment to collaborate with an under-served community group for up to eight weeks to create artwork based on issues relevant to the participants’ lives. Artists work with the community group approximately 6 - 10 hours per week in addition to several hours of additional preparation time necessary for fulfilling the goals of the residency. 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.
