We proudly invite Chicago artists to apply for our The Fall Residency position at Spudnik Press Cooperative. Now in its sixth year, The Residency Program has hosted 19 local artists, including Lilli Carré, Miller & Shellabarger, Jessica Taylor Caponigro, and Polly Yates. As our roster of artists continues to expand, the benefits and resources we can offer our residents grows as well. The Residency now includes solo exhibition, publishing, critique, and studio visit opportunities, in addition to three-month access to our facilities and free art supplies.

In 2013, we opened our gallery, The Annex, which now hosts solo exhibitions of new work by the majority of our residents. At the same time, we began working closely with our residents to publish an Artist Book to accompany their exhibitions. Publications created through our Residency Program include Walking Driftward by Hannah Ireland and Aboutface by Veronica Siehl, both of which combine illustrations and visual artwork with original writing and poetry.

This fall, we increase the opportunities for critical dialog and exchange by coordinating two studio visits during the residency period with established artists, curators or gallerists. The Fall Resident will also have the opportunity for group critique with artists participating in our Studio Fellowship program.

Please download the Fall 2014 Residency Packet and help spread the word about this opportunity.
