Kipaipai Workshops, in partnership with Donkey Mill Art Center, recently announced its first joint artist residency in Hawaii.
This residency is open to artists and makers (families welcome) looking for an immersion in nature, community engagement and concentrated time to research and conceptualize future projects. One artist will be selected for the 30-day residency to take place in July 2022 in Kailua-Kona.
This residency is focused on offering one artist (and their immediate family) a respite from their regular studio practice and focus on introspection, research, conceptualizing, and strategizing future projects. An artist with experience in teaching or comfortable working with teens and keiki is plus.
As part of the residency, the artist will lead several workshops/community engagements during the Donkey Mill Art Center’s Youth Summer Art Experience programs, which focuses on environmental and cultural connections. There may be opportunities for the chosen artist to collaborate with local artists, and participate in the Donkey Mill’s studios.
Artists will complete the application through CAFE and attach the required documentation, which includes a fee, artist statement, examples of work (jpgs), answering application questions and a statement on the artist’s expectations on outcomes and benefits of the residency. The deadline for submission is Dec. 1.
Jurors will choose one winner and one runner up by Jan. 1, 2022. The artist will be responsible for all travel expenses including airfare, rental car and living expenses.
