The International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) announces an open call for a fully-funded five-month residency, from September 1, 2017 – January 31, 2018, plus living and materials stipends (approximately $2,300 per month) for visual artists who are eligible to work in the United States. ISCP is currently accepting applications from visual artists who work primarily with painting, sculpture, installation or works on paper, including printmakers who would like to engage with ISCP's unique and dynamic programming and creative community. The residency program includes 24-hour access to a private furnished studio space, regular studio visits from Visiting Critics; Field Trips to museums, galleries and other cultural venues; and participation in Artist Talks. In addition, residents have the opportunity to have a studio assistant and develop projects in the public realm with the support of ISCP staff. Residents become part of a growing network of international artists and curators who are ISCP alumni.  An ISCP residency has often led to critical advancement in the practice of the artist and curators in residence.
