This residency says it focuses on artistic research. I'm an artist, can I apply for a studio project?
At this time, The Luminary does not have studio or performance space available for open-call residencies. We hope to fund practitioners in the research and development portion of their creative cycle, allowing artists space and time to ideate and plan for their studio work.
Is The Luminary ADA-compliant and barrier-free?
While The Luminary's gallery, common area, bookshop, and BlackCoffee. are ADA compliant, The Luminary's residency apartment is not. Residents must be able to climb a flight of stairs; the bathroom is not wheelchair accessible. For any questions about accessibility and accommodations, please contact Kellen Wright, kellen@theluminaryarts.com.
The application fee is $15. Can I have a fee waiver?
Absolutely! The application fee funds the administrative processing of the residency application and goes directly to the jurors for their stipends. However, we also realize that an application fee can be a barrier to applying. You can send a request to alexandria@theluminaryarts.com and receive a link to the application, waiving the fee. A reason why the fee waiver is needed is not required.
Can collaborative teams apply?
Yes, however, the stipend will still be the same per week. The Luminary's residency apartment has three bedrooms and one bath, so apply accordingly.
