Artist Resumes

So this week I tracked down a few artist resumes to use as a basis for creating my own, and for finding some leads for possible awards and residencies.  Ill start off with a grad student at Rutgers, and an all around good guy, Dustin Metz:  
Dustin's website and CV
Awards:
Discovery Grant from the Pew Center for Arts and Heritage
http://www.pcah.us/the-center/grants-awarded
The Pew Center offers a variety of grants to both individuals and organizations....in the 5 counties around Philadelphia. So if you live in South Eastern Pa, this would be great!  they give out fellowships of $60,000 to individual artists to help achieve career and artistic goals.  


Residencies: 
Vermont Studio Center 
http://www.vermontstudiocenter.org/
Vermont Studio Center is the shit, they accept artists in all stages of their career and Ive heard through the grapevine that they like students a lot.   


Next up is working artist Stacy Fisher:

The Edward F. Albee Foundation:
http://www.albeefoundation.org/Welcome.html
The Edward F. Albee Foundation offers 4 and 6 week residencies for artists and writers between May and October in Montauk Long Island... They are currently accepting applications for 2012.  It looks beautiful, just watch out for the Reptilian Humanoids of Camp Hero:

ANYWAY...


She also went to Chautauqua Art Institute:

I went here and can vouch for it... some of the artists they bring in totally don't get it but it is a good place to go and make work in a secluded and beautiful place.  They usually have upwards of 30 students in the program too, which is good for meeting other like minded peers.  There is no limit to how many times you can go. 


Ann Pibal:
Awards:
The Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Visual Arts Grant
http://louiscomforttiffanyfoundation.org/grants_program.html
This is a biennial grant for artists whose work shows promise but has not been recognized.  It has already been decided for 2011, so if the world doesn't end in a fiery blaze in 2012, then it would be a good thing to apply for.


Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculptors Fellowship
http://www.joanmitchellfoundation.org/
is by nomination only and Sam Van Akin also got one so you're best off not getting your hopes up about this one. 


American Academy of Arts and Letters
http://www.artsandletters.org/about.php
They are a very prestigious organization that gives out lots of money and buys art to donate to museums. To get an award you need to be nominated by a member... current members... Thomas Nozkowski and Catherine Murphy are members along with Jim Dine and Chuck Close... so next time you see either of those lovable characters (Catherine or Tom) give em a big ole hug!  And get them to really like your work.


The Pollock-Krasner Foundation
http://www.pkf.org/grant.html
The grant goes out to artists who have been working as a professional artist for significant amount of time... so give this one a few years before you apply.


New York Foundation for The Arts Fellowship
http://www.nyfa.org/level2.asp?id=1&fid=1&sid=44
NYFA is a great resource, their fellowships are for residents of New York state and are given out in a variety of disciplines, and I think they go in cycles, like painting and stuff one year, dance and music the next etc. 


Residencies:
Yaddo
http://yaddo.org/yaddo/history.shtml
In Saratoga Springs NY, looks beautiful.  Need to be a Professional artist.


Cité International des Arts:
http://citedesarts.pagesperso-orange.fr/cite-internationale-des-arts-english-presentation.html
This looks pretty sick I have to say... Also need to be a 'Professional Artist' 


MacDowell Colony
http://www.macdowellcolony.org/apply.html
Open to professionals and emerging artists alike, with residencies in the summer and the fall.


Saltonstall Residency 
http://www.saltonstall.org/content/category/summer-fellowships.html'
Up in Ithaca New York, open to residence of New York state, emerging and established artists.


Ucross Foundation

Vermont Studio Center (is the place to go)
The Banff Center

Located in Alberta Canada. 
Takt Kunstprojektraum
http://www.taktberlin.org/residency/index.htm
Can't figure out how or where to apply... but a residency in Germany would be awesome. 


That is pretty much all Ive got for now, I found a few more awards that are now defunct... I also have a list of residencies, where they are located, and the application deadlines that a friend of mine put together that I should post. 
In the meantime stay tuned because I'm going to post my own CV/resume soon.
