Boise City Department of Arts & History invites emerging and mid-career artists in any creative field to apply for a 10-Week residency at the James Castle House in Boise, Idaho. The historic home site, where American artist James Castle lived and worked for over four decades, stands today as a testament to the artist's unique talent, lifelong practice, and artistic legacy. 

  
This residency invites artists to immerse themselves in the site, explore the house, its history, and the surrounding landscape, and respond to their experience through the creation of new works. Residents will share their creative practice and process with our community through several public in-person and hybrid events throughout their stay, including, but not limited to, workshops, open studios, and presentations. Through this program, the James Castle House keeps the legacy of daily creativity and experimentation alive on-site, cultivating a growing local and national community and providing a deeper understanding of James Castle and the place he called home. 

  
**\*Please note that this is a solo residency. The selected participant will have regular contact with staff at the James Castle House and members of the Boise public, but they will reside alone. Applicants should be able to work alone and enjoy solitude.**

  
**Residency Terms:**

 Spring Term:

* February 5 - April 16, 2025

Summer Term:

James Castle House 10-Week Residency 2025

The General Cultural Services of the City of Oulu opens a residency call for artists of the CreArt network as part of the program production of the Lumo Light Festival and the Urban Neighbourhood Culture of Cultural Centre Valve.

  
As an Arctic European city, Oulu has a special relationship with light and darkness. Lumo Light Festival celebrates light and visual arts during the darkest time of the year in Northern Finland as a city-wide open event. Located and organized by the City of Oulu, Lumo is the largest festival in Oulu area and a solid audience-favorite with over 100.000 annual visitors on the festival weekend.

  
A special theme at Lumo Light Festival 2024 is _interaction_. We encourage artists to contemplate how to promote and encourage open and respectful dialogue between different points of view and showcase this in their installation proposals. Lumo Light Festival is an integral part of Oulu’s upcoming European Capital of Culture year Oulu2026 and the city’s work in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network for Media Arts.

  
As the installations of the Lumo Light Festival are traditionally concentrated in the Oulu city centre, the CreArt residency wants to take visual art to new, surprising locations on the borders of Oulu and create art pieces in our peri-urban and rural communities with the CreArt AiR Program 2024.

  
The Urban Neighbourhood Culture facilities of Cultural Centre Valve produce and develop neighborhood culture and opportunities for cultural activities in different districts of Oulu. The aim of the district activities is to support and promote the regions' own cultural activities. It creates opportunities for art and culture and brings cultural services and events within everyone's reach. With the light and media art works implemented in Oulu's neighborhoods during Lumo, Valve's Neighborhood Culture facilities aim to promote these goals in the more diverse neighborhoods of the northern city.

  
The open portfolio call is aimed at artists in the visual field of the CreArt network who work in the fields of light and media art. Urban neighbourhood works of Lumo can be light and media art, community and environmental art, installations or surprising visual art interventions in a city where November is the darkest time of the year.

**The residency period is 21 October - 30 November 2024 (six weeks)** and the realized works will be exhibited at the Lumo Light Festival on 22-24 November 2024\. The locations of the artworks are selected according to the work plans, coordinated by the Valve Neighborhood Culture facilites, and they are located in selected districts/neighborhoods in Oulu.

  
The residency's work plan must detail an estimate of the materials and technical requirements related to the work's implementation. Required technical equipment is acquired per piece, other required materials are allocated max. €1,500.

  
The residency period in Oulu includes the artist's residency fee of €2,500/gross, travel expenses from the artist's hometown to Oulu and back, and accommodation expenses in Oulu (6 weeks). Material and technical costs as well as workspace rent are included in the open call. The working spaces required by the work plan are arranged separately according to the work sites.

  
A cooperation agreement with the General Cultural Services of the City of Oulu will be drawn up for the implementation of the selected work.

CreArt: Artist in Residence in Oulu 2024 (Finland)

Each residency is for two collaborating working partners: One artist and one researcher / specialist.

The interdisciplinary collaboration between artist and researcher should address the theme of multispecies relations and the more-than-human.

  
The residencies will take place at Earthwise Residency, Mols, Denmark.

  
The more-than-human is the focus of the two _Curious Encounters_ at Earthwise, because we think that more interdisciplinary work is needed in this fast-growing and important field. We believe that the climate emergency is caused by the industrialized societies having forgotten that Planet Earth is not just ‘resources’ for humans to utilize and grab, but a shared home, with no alternatives. Collaborations across science and art can propose new ways – or highlight the wisdom of old ways – to coexist with and understand other species / the more-than-human. 

  
Earthwise Residency focuses on practices and research, which heightens our sensitivity, knowledge, and methods for consciously reweaving our human lives with the myriad of relations and interdependencies we all rely on. We are interested in communication with the living world and the animal kingdom, and in developing creative work that situates and enhances curiosity and intimacy – encounters -with the more-than-human, while at the same time exploring corresponding academic research through artistic lenses.The two residencies _Curious Encounters_ is one of our active contributions to the paradigm shifts happening these years. We believe that interdisciplinary meetings – the meeting and mixing of aesthetics, art expressions, humanities, and sciences – hold the possibility to foster new thoughts, rediscover ancient knowledge as well as new paths for action.

**What we are looking for, or hope to experience**

  
— Expanding / exploring the ways in which we in the arts communicate with other living entities as well as communicate about them; ie what does ‘understand’ and ‘relate’ mean, and how can ways of understanding and relating be shared? 

  
— Expanding / exploring formats of conducting research in as well as disseminating work processes, findings and questions in the area of the more-than-human. 

  
— Expanding / exploring formats of and ways to document work with and about the more-than-human 

  
— Expanding / exploring ways to share work processes and methods in an ongoing dialogue, in-situ as well as online.

**The call for the Art Futures Fellowship 2025 is currently live!**

  
**Art Futures has received generous donations, from which the Board decided to initiate a Fellowship programme, to be located in Athens, Greece. In 2024 through an additional grant a second residency in Zutphen, the Netherlands was added to the programme.**

  
**Art Futures, Serendipity in Action** is an international non-profit organisation that supports and initiates activities with an unconditional belief in the value of the arts, culture and education. Its activities aim to widen participation and engagement in the arts towards more just and sustainable societies in Europe and beyond. Art Futures Research Fellow Georgios Papadopoulos ensures the residency is well embedded in the local context, providing ongoing research into the discourse around artist residencies involving inclusive, socially engaged practice, and contributing to the sustainability of the project, in Zutphen Artistic Director of Dat Bolwerck Marlise van der Jagt provides the local context.

  
**Together with partner Space for International Cooperation \[SIC\] located in Athens, Greece, Art Futures offers an annual fellowship, involving a two-month residency. The fellowship is part of a 5-year programme, running from 2023-27, aiming to research international residencies in the arts, exploring their strengths and weaknesses; reviewing the methods of selection; methods of mentoring; their value to the artists, to the host communities and to the venues. The outcomes will be presented and disseminated in a series of workshops and symposia, coming together during an event in 2027.**

  
The selected fellows are mentored by the **Critical Friends**, an international platform Art Futures developed, that meets annually to discuss ‘the role of the arts and higher arts education in future societies, in an international arena’. The profile of Critical Friends is made up of experts with a proven contribution to and a successful position and seniority in, the cultural and/or higher arts education sectors.

  
**Art Futures Fellowship 2024:** Artists from all arts disciplines were invited to apply for the 2024 fellowship, which includes a two-month residency in Athens and a two-month residency in Zutphen, both in fully equipped studio-apartments. 

**A Creative Arts FELLOWSHIP, incorporating a two-month residency** 

This year creators from the Performing Arts are invited to apply for a fellowship, which incorporates a two-month residency in Athens from mid-February to mid-April 2025\. In this context we consider ‘Performing Arts’ to be presented in the widest sense in all its creative arts forms. 

  
The Accommodation available is a fully equipped studio-apartment at the host organisation’s Space for International Cooperation \[SIC\] in the city centre of Athens. 

  
Through the host organisation \[SIC\] and its local networks, including arts venues (theatres, galleries, museums etc.), educational partners, and grass root initiatives, we aim the Residency to be embedded in the cultural and social fabric of Athens. The project space offer possibilities for a final presentation of the outcomes as well as for research or collaborative works. The fellow’s needs for these possibilities must be indicated in advance, to enable us to discuss and if possible, facilitate these actions. 

  
Successful applicants will additionally receive a total expense allowance of 4000 euro which is intended to cover travel costs/expenses, a visa (where necessary) and subsistence over the residency period. 

  
Theme - the Fellowship prioritises proposals with a clear view on how the fellowship, including the residency period, is embedded in the overall practice of the applicant and how the Fellowship is essential for the further development of the artistic practice and discourse of the applicant. The proposal should outline how the artist will engage in meaningful interactions within the city of Athens and/or its institutions, and communities.
