Internal Programs
Visions of the Artbae Society
This is how we aim to achieve our Mission
Artist in Residence Program
Artbae’s Artist in Residence Program (ARP) will provide emerging and established artists with the opportunity to concentrate on a body of work in a space designated as his/her studio at no cost to the artist. Residencies last for 3 months, in which artists will receive a monthly stipend to help cover the costs for supplies. At the end of 3 months, resident artists will be expected to showcase their artwork created during their residency and give an “artist talk” to a public group about the work and their process during an opening exhibition facilitated by Artbae. Any art sold during this exhibition will be split with 80% of sales going to the artist and 20% going back to Artbae. Artists also agree to engage the community by leading a workshop or demonstration at some point during their residency. The workshop should be inclusive, informative, and educational, providing the community with a window into the artistic process.
Artist Fellowship Program
Artbae’s Artist Fellowship Program (AFP) will offer fellowships to individual artists whose artistic excellence significantly contributes to the DMV. AFP recognizes the impact of individual artists within the DMV and supports the vitality that those artists bring to the local community.
Artist Apprenticeship Program
Artbae’s Artist Apprenticeship Program (AAP) will allow in-house artists the opportunity to host intimate and group art classes, to include but not limited to, paints parties, technical workshops, etc. Apprentice must shadow an experienced artist for a minimum of two (2) art classes/parties before leading their own.
