Plug In ICA is now accepting applications for our 2012 Summer Institute featuring faculty, curator Sylvie Gilbert (Montreal) and artist Andrew Kearney (London, UK).
July 3 to July 29, 2012
Winnipeg, Manitoba
Deadline for applications: April 1, 2012
The Summer Institute is an international post-graduate artist residency for professional artists working in all disciplines. Up to ten artists, architects, designers, curators and other creative professionals will share a collegial, open-studio environment. This critical discursive opportunity will take place in Plug In ICA’s new purpose-built facilities, with an adjoining workshop, art research library, gallery, bookshop and café. Plug In ICA is located at the perimeter of the University of Winnipeg campus, adjacent to the Winnipeg Art Gallery, and in the heart of an urban environment.
Participants are encouraged to pursue their own practices and projects within the context of a shared/collegial/collaborative environment. Faculty and staff provide support and feedback to participants in the program, and work to foster productive and rewarding professional development opportunities. Participants may instigate and participate in collaborative projects, or work independently.
The Institute will host other visiting curators throughout the residency to conduct studio visits with artists.
