Artist in Residence

This year will be dedicated to the theme “Complexities of Care“. In addition to the vitrines space, the selected artist is encouraged to propose ideas to use and activate the Library shared space at Tangled Art + Disability or hold public program events.

Artist Residency will officially begin in mid October 2026 and run until Spring 2027. Specific Dates and Timelines for Artistic Production are to be determined in collaboration with the Artist. The selected Artist will be notified by late September 2026.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Be dedicated to an ongoing arts practice
• Did not have solo exhibitions in the past ten years
• Be related to both parties’ institutional mandate
• Be a Workman Arts member

Workman Arts will support the Artist for the production period of this residency and provide:

• Administrative support for production of artwork
• Accessibility support for production of artwork
• Support sourcing and contracting fabricators

Tangled Art + Disability will provide:

• Exhibition Venue: Tangled Vitrines (view floorplan) + Library shared space
• Administrative support for display of artwork
• Accessibility support for display of artwork
• Support contracting transportation and installation of artwork

DEADLINE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2026 by 11:59 PM (EDT)

The Artist in Residence program is part of Workman Arts’ Rendezvous with Madness Festival and is in collaboration with Tangled Art + Disability. By providing time and resources, we believe this can support the development of a body of work to become exhibition ready for a solo show at the Tangled Art + Disability gallery vitrine space. We offer this opportunity to a Workman Arts member who has not or has minimally exhibited their artwork, and would benefit from a solo exhibition.
