Summer Teacher Residency Program

2020 Teacher Residency

Imagine spending ten days, away from the classroom, away from the distractions of life, back in the studio making work.

Zoom

Cleveland Institute of Art seeks to bring together a diverse group of individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to art making and inquiry. You'll join a select group of art educators from across the country as they create a new body of studio work with the goal to reinvigorate their teaching practice.

While on campus, residents are provided individual studio spaces, art-making supplies, and access to CIA's state-of-the-art facilities. A spirit of collaboration and community allows for regular feedback and input from your residency cohort, guided by our faculty advisors.

Program

As a resident artist-educator you will develop a new, personal body of work with the support of an instructor in the studio. You’ll work independently, meet with a mentor for conceptual and material development, and participate in group critiques to enrich your practice. Professional development seminars are scheduled with partner institutions to enhance art room curriculum. At the end of the program, you’ll showcase the work created during your ten days at CIA in a group exhibition, with an opening and reception open to the greater community.

The 2020 residency will be open to educators interested in several disciplines, divided into two courses exploring the areas of:

• 2D Processes, including drawing, painting and printmaking.
• Contemporary Craft, including ceramics, glass and jewelry and metals.

Applications are accepted from November 1, 2019, through March 1, 2020.
