Artbeat Studio accommodates a group of up to 9 artist applicants per 6 month period. Applicants must be 18 years of age or older. Applications are accepted year round.
Note: Artbeat Studio is a new organization and the artists selected will be involved in shaping the operating procedures and practices to be adopted and implemented. This “uncharted journey” will require considerable flexibility, openness and the willingness to learn as we go.
The Selection Process:
Applicants submit a completed “application form”, resume, and letter of support and three references.
Intake interviews occur December and June each year. A selection panel consists of the Studio Facilitator, Executive Director, a board representative, a professional artist, Artbeat alumni artist and a healthcare professional. Artists may choose to have their “mental health support person” accompany them at the interview. Portfolio (sample of artwork) is required for the interview.
Artists participate in a 30-day orientation period demonstrating their interest in and suitability for pursuing services available through Artbeat Studio. Terms of an “agreement” between the individual artist and Artbeat Studio are confirmed based on mutual satisfaction at the end of this period.
Prior to applying, a personal tour of the Artbeat Studio facility is strongly recommended. Please call to schedule a tour, which takes approximately 30 minutes. For assistance in completing the application form and/or general information about Artbeat Studio, Inc. please call us at (204) 943-5194.
Artist Participation Agreement:
Revocable Studio Space Agreement between Artbeat Studio and resident artist. The agreement outlines all terms and conditions, and is confirmed based on mutual satisfaction at the end of the 30-day orientation period (PDF format).
Artbeat Studio Resident Artist Policies:
Outlines Artbeat Studio’s Health and Safety Considerations, Studio Facilities and Office Resources, and Artist Community Matters (PDF format).
In the event that an applicant is not selected, they are encouraged to submit a formal follow-up letter near the time of the next available 6 month period, in which case the application will be re-submitted. Alternatively, declined applicants are also encouraged to volunteer at Artbeat Studio. For more information about Artbeat Studio’s volunteer program, please see Volunteer Applications.
