Artist-in-Residence
Artists selected for the residency program are invited
to live in Syracuse for one month. They receive a $4,000
stipend, reside in a fully furnished apartment, private
darkroom, and 24-hour access to our facility. Participants
in the residency program
are expected to use their month to pursue their own
projects: photographing in the area, printing for a
specific project or book, etc. Work produced by the
Artists-in-Residence will also be published in Light
Work's publication Contact Sheet. Light Work invites 12-15 artists each
year.
Exhibitions
Light Work's gallery in the Robert
B. Menschel Media Center presents work by artists
who have made significant contributions to the field
and exhibitions
relating to specific topics of photographic practice.
A special issue of our publication Contact Sheet accompanies each main gallery exhibition.
Exhibitions are curated by Light Work's staff and guest
curators.
All artists working in photography are eligible to apply
to Light Work's Artist-in-Residence or Exhibition programs.
There is no application form or deadline. Artists should
send a current resume, artist statement, letter of intent,
and slides (or proof prints) of your most recent work
or current project, plus any supporting material you
feel would be appropriate in evaluating your application.
Please include postage for the return of materials.
Light Work Photography Grant
Each year Light Work awards grants of $2,000 to three
Central New York photographers, critics, or photo-historians.
The Light Work Grants are awarded each year to encourage
the creation of new work and scholarship in Central
New York. Submissions are reviewed by a panel of judges
who reside outside the eligible geographic area, and
grants are awarded on the strength of the candidate's
portfolio and application. The work of the grant recipients
is presented in a special exhibition at Light Work,
and reproduced in our publication Contact Sheet.
This grant is ONLY available for the residents of the following Central
New York Counties: Broome, Cayuga, Chemung, Chenango,
Cortland, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Oneida,
Onondaga, Oswego, Schuyler, Seneca, St. Lawrence, Tioga
and Tompkins. Applications for this program are accepted
between January 15 and March 31 each year.
