“I am so grateful to American Landmark: Artist in Residence for this amazing opportunity to be able to create and grow artistically in a stress free environment. Fellow artists, the application for the next round of artists is now open and, partly due to our success, the program is growing to encompass more artists and offer a variety of locations! It’s been a great experience and I highly recommend to all creative personalities!”
— Artem Mirolevich, Artist in Residence at Midtown 24 (2020-2021)
Current Opportunities:
We are currently accepting applications for a Culinary Artist position at Shelby at Northside Apartments located at 1852 E Northside Dr, Fort Worth, TX 76106. Flexible start date - September 2024.
We are accepting rolling applications for future (visual and culinary art) residency opportunities at various American Landmark properties. If you think you are a good fit for our program, please fill out an application!
Expectations:
Artists chosen will be granted no-cost housing as well as working studio space or professional communal kitchen space at an American Landmark rental apartment community for up to one year.
In exchange, you are asked to create a site-specific art installation that will remain with the property such as a mural or other agreed upon contribution, and provide weekly visual or culinary arts programming for residents, including but not limited to: children’s art classes, Sip and Paint or Drink and Draw for adults, live painting demonstrations, holiday themed projects, or any other creative enrichment agreed upon as a relevant contribution to the community.
You will be working independently as well as with the property manager of your building to coordinate events and engage students. You will be expected to participate in bi-monthly “Artists in Residence Community Meetings” via Zoom with one or more of our residency coordinators, and one or more other American Landmark artists to share your progress, give feedback, exchange ideas and discuss creative solutions for community enrichment.
Criteria To Apply:
To apply, you must be over the age of 18 working in a visual or culinary arts discipline; confident in your artistic voice; and have an interest in expanding your artistic practice in a community-focused context.
Experience with teaching and community involvement is a prerequisite. Must be a self starter, a “people person,” be open to receiving constructive criticism, and be willing to pivot your teaching approach and curriculum based on the response from your particular building’s residents/students.
Artist will be chosen based on compatibility with the needs of the community and likelihood to thrive creatively in this unique program.
This is an equal opportunity position; we value artistic expression, experience, creativity, excellence, professionalism and inclusion.
Finalists will be required to pass a criminal background check in compliance with the specific apartment’s regulations.
