Eligibility: The BelRed Arts District’s Artist Residency is open to local, career-level artists living in the Greater Seattle Area, preferably on the Eastside, who are working in any style or medium (the BelRed Arts Studio does not offer a kiln or hot shop currently). The artist must supply original artwork. The artwork must be suitable for display in public spaces and viewing by a general audience, containing no advertising, branding, or graphic depictions of violence or sexually explicit material.
Inspired by the Recology King County Artists in Residence Program, the BelRed Arts District Community Alliance is pleased to announce announce the first Artist Residency at the BelRed Arts Studio. Republic Services is proud to be the inaugural partner for this first residency. This round’s theme supports the creation of art from recycled, repurposed and discarded materials recovered from the Republic Services’ Bellevue mini recycling center and the Republic Services’ Seattle Recycle Center. The Residency provides the selected artist with access to discarded materials, a stipend of $1400 per month, a fully-funded private studio at BelRed Arts Studio in the BelRed Arts District in Bellevue and, at the close of the residency, a public workshop/program at the BelRed Arts Studio to showcase the work they’ve accomplished and provide hands-on engagement opportunity for the community.
During the residency, artist will have scavenging rights at the Republic Services’ Bellevue mini recycling center and Republic Services’ Seattle Recycle Center. Artists are encouraged to spend roughly 15-20 hours per week completing the expected project. Artist will also have a choice to donate the artwork to the BelRed Arts District Community Alliance’s permanent collection and will remain on-site at the Studio or loan the artwork for at least 2 years to be showcased at various locations around Bellevue and the Arts District.
