Information

We are happy to introduce the Ceramic Artist Residency Program (CARP). Our goal is to provide access to the JAC Ceramics Studio by more members of our artist community while elevating the enrichment, engagement, and educational experiences of all. The CARP is not competitive, but offers space to ceramic artists of all levels, on a first come first served basis.

The CARP offers ceramic artists the opportunity to have personal shelf space in the JAC Ceramics Studio, as well as the ability to work independently in the studio during all Open Studio Hours, for either three (3) or six (6) month periods of time. It is intended to foster meaningful and intentional art making among participants while providing a supportive environment in which they can learn, evolve, and grow as makers. It includes optional participation in specialized workshops, community gatherings to share and discuss works in progress, and potential exhibition opportunities. Anyone who has taken a ceramics class or workshop at the JAC within the past year, or who will have done so by the start date of their desired residency, is welcome to apply to the CARP.

Available residencies for 2024:

· 3 Month - February, March, April ($350)

· 6 Month - February, March, April, May, June, July ($700)

· 3 Month - May, June, July ($350)

JAC members will receive a 10% discount. Scholarship funding, payment plans, and work exchange opportunities are available. No one will be denied access due to financial barriers. So, please do not hesitate to reach out if this is a concern for you. Note: Half-shelves may also be available on an as needed basis.

Neither CARP participants nor students of the JAC are discouraged from selling any of the work they make in the Ceramics Studio. However, the JAC, as always, is not able to accommodate production pottery making. All clay fired in the Ceramics Studio must be purchased through the JAC, and all outside glazes must be approved by the Ceramics Studio Manager before being used. Please see our Frequently Asked Questions and Policies & Procedures pages for a clearer understanding of these (and other) policies.
