Torpedo Factory Visiting Artist Program - Summer 2012

Deadline: February 15, 2012: Emerging and experienced artists are invited to apply for one, two, or three-month residencies between June 1 and August 31, 2012.

The Visiting Artist Program is intended as a professional development opportunity for emerging and experienced visual artists, and to expose visitors to exciting artists and projects.

The visiting artists will be working in studios throughout the art center from June through August and will be actively involved in art enrichment events throughout their residency in which they will demonstrate and lecture about their work.

This year's artists will be selected by juror Paula Amt, painter and the owner of gallery plan b and Framesmith DC, both in Washington DC. She studied studio art and art history in Virginia and Paris. Paula has been active in the DC art scene since 1998, when she joined a co-op gallery on R Street. Her experience as a framer led her to work with many local artists and collectors. In 2000, she began showing small groups of artists in temporary locations in the DC area; in 2005 she established gallery plan b where she continues to search out and show the work of many talented artists.
