To become a resident of BOX 13, artists must schedule an appointment for an interview with current artist residents and be prepared to bring evidence of a professional career in the visual or performing arts (slides, cd, dvd, or other visuals), plus personal references and a commitment to support the activities of BOX 13. It is imperative that you visually and mentally engage us with your application material. Most residents are people that another current resident is familiar with, so it is recommended that you introduce yourself and talk to members at openings, events and other venues.
Artists accepted into residence actively participate in the operation, maintenance and promotion of BOX 13. Each artist receives a workspace as part of residence/membership. Resident workspaces range from $125 to $650 per month based on square footage plus an annual contribution of artwork(s) to BOX 13.

To set up an appointment to interview, meet the other residents, and come and look at the space please email Patrick Phipps. Interviews are normally conducted during monthly member meetings the 15th of each month.

New residents are encouraged to jump in, bring new ideas or develop old ones and inspire the direction BOX 13 takes. If you have experience as a curator, with exhibitions, art writing, carpentry skills, grant writing, etc. please make this evident when you apply.
