The NDSU Department of Visual Arts is accepting applications for the 2011 James Rosenquist Artist in Residency through April 15.

Preferred applicants are artists who have just graduated with a master’s degree in fine arts or emerging artists who are looking for an opportunity to continue to grow in their work in a supportive, rewarding environment. The residency will take place from January through May 2011 and includes an $8,000 stipend, room and board, a studio, some supplies and the opportunity to take one class at NDSU.

Artists will be asked to give public presentations, hold an exhibition at the end of their stay and contribute one work of art to the NDSU collection. The artist also will teach a single course at NDSU with a focus on bringing new ideas to the department.

NDSU visual arts faculty, current Rosenquist Fellow and local art leaders will select a resident from applications submitted by the deadline. The residency is open to all visual arts media.
