The Triangle Artists' Workshop Program is an intense two-week studio session for an international group of 25-30 professional visual artists. The workshop's mission is to create an environment designed to maximize exchange, stimulate new ideas and encourage experimentation.
Artists are provided with studios, meals and housing at no additional cost. Accepted participants are asked to give a $100 acceptance fee. Artists will have access to a woodshop, technical support, and possibly darkroom and printshop access. Artists are responsible for all other expenses, including the costs of travel and materials. Accepted particpants with a demonstrated need, can apply for limited travel scholarships. The workshop culminates in an Open Studio exhibition, free and open to the general public. During the workshop, artists will receive organized studio visits from critics, writers and curators, and two organized panel discussions.
Location: Dumbo, Brooklyn, NY
Dates: The workshop takes place every 2 years and the upcoming one will be Fall 2008.
