<p>The last post was just the tip of the ice burg in terms of opportunities for residencies and assistantships. Many of the institutions listed in this post also have deadlines coming up in the next month or so, so keep those applications coming!</p>

<p>Peters Valley School of Craft: I love Peters Valley. I was lucky enough be both an assistant and a fellow in consecutive summers. As an Artist Fellow, you're in charge of running the studio, making sure instructors have what they need and that the students are content. As an assistant, you do some studio cleaning/ etc. but your day to day is spent helping in the workshops, especially if the instructor is otherwise engaged. You get to meet all kinds of awesome people and you'll learn a TON. You can get more info <a href="http://www.petersvalley.org/html/opportunities_for_artists.cfm" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Jentel: I don't know a whole lot about Jentel, but everyone I know that's been there has just had the best things to say about it. Jentel is located way out near the mountains in Wyoming. They don't offer traditional studio facilities, so they provide a great opportunity to do more with less, and take a more relaxed pace. You can read more about it <a href="http://www.jentelarts.org/index.htm" target="_blank">here.</a></p>

<p>McColl Center for Art + Innovation: I just recently learned about the McColl Center, which just goes to show how little I pay attention to the other side of the state. Oops. Located in Charlotte, the McColl Center offers 3-16 week residency opportunities, as well as an affiliate artist program. More about it <a href="https://mccollcenter.org/artists-in-residence/residency-programs" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

<p>Pocosin Arts: Pocosin Arts is located in the tiny, but picturesque town, of Columbia, NC. They offer 1 year residencies in both jewelry/metals and ceramics, as well as a new and exciting opportunity for art educators. There's not a lot to do in Columbia as a whole, but Pocosin offers some great workshop program and it's a great environment to buckle down and get some work done. You can read more about it <a href="http://pocosinarts.org/residency/" target="_blank">here.</a></p>
<p></p>
<p>A. I. R. Studio Paducah: This is a sweet little opportunity in Paducah, Kentucky. Artists get large studio spaces and an efficiency apartment. 2017 looks pretty well booked, but it's never to early to look ahead to 2018. More information <a href="https://airstudiopaducah.com/" target="_blank">here.</a></p> Residency Round Uptag:crafthaus.ning.com,2017-01-09:2104389:Topic:5607682017-01-09T17:43:25.341ZLiz Steinerhttp://crafthaus.ning.com/profile/LizSteiner
<p>We're entering that time of the year where deadlines abound, for residencies, scholarships, graduate school and internships. For those of you no longer in academia, here are a few wonderful opportunities you still have time to apply for.</p>

<p>We're entering that time of the year where deadlines abound, for residencies, scholarships, graduate school and internships. For those of you no longer in academia, here are a few wonderful opportunities you still have time to apply for.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The Penland Residency: This is a very prestigious, three year commitment. Three years to where you're expected to only focus on your work?! Swoon! But it is highly competitive, as well as a big commitment. You can <a href="http://penland.org/programs/resident_artists.html" target="_blank">read more about it here</a>. Deadline, January 15.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The Arrowmont Residency: Shorter than the Penland Residency, and geared toward early career artists. The Arrowmont Residency provides housing, and studio space for 9 months, while you focus on your work. <a href="http://www.arrowmont.org/artist-in-residence/how-to-apply/" target="_blank">Learn more about it here.</a> Deadline February 1.</p>
<p></p>
<p>"Get Lost, Do Art" Case of the Nomads Residency: This is a great little residency put together by professional Nomad, Casey Sheppard. A much shorter time commitment, only a week, this resident will get to hang out with Casey for a week (and India the Adventure Dog, need I say more?) in Joshua Tree, CA, and experience a completely different way of making art. I think this would be a phenomenal opportunity for anyone who's feeling stuck in their studio practice, or who wants to shake things up. <a href="http://www.caseofthenomads.com/residency/" target="_blank">Details here.</a> Deadline January 25.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Haystack Open Studio Residency: Haystack offers a two week, open studio residency, Another great short term, but intensive commitment. <a href="http://www.haystack-mtn.org/programs/" target="_blank">Details here.</a> Deadline March 1.</p>
<p>If you're not ready for a residency, but are still looking to have a life changing art school experience this summer, there's lots of opportunities for scholarships, work study, and internships.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Penland is offering several internships, many dealing with aspects of arts management. <a href="http://penland.org/about/jobs.html" target="_blank">A full list can be found here.</a>Deadline February 1. <a href="http://penland.org/classes/summer/summer_scholarships.html" target="_blank">You can find details on the scholarships available here</a>.</p>
<p>Deadline February 17</p>
<p></p>
<p>Arrowmont has a fantastic summer assistant program where you work for three weeks and then are granted 3 free workshops. They house you and feed you, and the only thing you pay out of pocket is your material fees. There are two 6 week long sessions, or you can apply for the whole 12 weeks. <a href="https://arrowmont.slideroom.com/#/Login" target="_blank">Details on how to apply, as well as the scholarships they have available are here.</a> Deadline for both assistantships and scholarships is March 1.</p>
