DISTRIBUTED CURATION ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE, 2020- 2022
Since 2020, APE@Hawley & SCDT have been developing a residency program that aims to expand outreach and access to our resources of space and organizational support for artists. We began by inviting local artists who we perceived to share some of our concerns around access and inclusivity, and who had already been doing work in our communities to bridge connections and widen creative networks, into 3-day mini-residencies at 33 Hawley. We asked these artists to invite one additional artist into the residency program, considering artists who may not have worked at A.P.E. before, and who, in their own considerations, might benefit from access to creative space.
Over the past year, the program has hosted 15 artists, and has included private residency space for artists, live and online public events, performances, showings, glimpses into artists' processes, and facilitated conversations both within the group and with and for the public. We are excited to be able to extend this residency program into 2021-2022, with bolstered opportunities for supporting artists' processes, peer exchange, and public-facing events, talks, and performances.
Please see below for the full list of artists involved since the beginning of the program:
