Courtney Kolker (studio 4), 2022 presentation
In February 2023, Torpedo Factory Art Center announced its 2nd Open Call for Artists. The Art Center accepted applications for Resident Artists –
individuals or groups of up to four – who will earn three-year studio leases and Artists Pro Tem – individuals who will earn the ability to sublease and participate in the Art Center programing. You may read more about the application process here.
The application is in three Phases. Phase III, the final stage, is non-blind and considers the applicants’ artwork in person, and their ability to speak about and present their artwork.
Each application offers a 5-minute presentation to the jurors where they expand upon notions found in their artist statement and process statements. Presentations are free and open to the public. Jurors will score their presentation and artwork to add to the final score of the application.
Attendees are requested to maintain quiet during the presentations and while entering/exiting the room. Note: the presentations may end early if all applicants are finished presenting.
