Friends –

For me, one of the bright spots of these challenging pandemic months has been the virtual Queer Artist Meet-Up, one of the core elements of the Campaign for Southern Equality’s Southern Equality Studios program. Every week, LGBTQ artists have come together to discuss their work, learn or share a skill, share recent work, or have higher-level conversations about the intersections of art, social justice, and community.

Now we are looking forward to deepening our connections with one artist, through our 2021-2022 Southern Equality Studios Artist in Residence program. The goals of this residency include increasing the visibility of Southern LGBTQ artists and makers – especially artists of color in NC – creating and improving access to funding and exhibition opportunities for artists, and creating work which represents or otherwise amplifies the voices of LGBTQ people in the South.

Visual artists of any media are encouraged to apply, especially those with experience in community based work. Click here to learn more and apply for the Southern Equality Studios Artist Residency. ([link removed])

The Artist in Residence may leverage their residency to contribute creative content to visual representation of CSE and CSE programs, enrich their own artistic practice, or participate in community engagement and collaborative projects. The residency will begin in the fall of 2021 and will conclude in the summer of 2022, with a total stipend of $6,000 for six months of work paid to the artist. This residency is supported by a $1,500 honorarium from Black Mountain College Museum + Art Center and may involve a collaboration with the Museum.

This residency will take place in Asheville, and the resident artist will have access to CSE offices (in accordance with CSE guidelines). Some components of the residency may take place remotely.
