Announcing 29 Artist Residency Opportunities in Alaska Finding Peace and Respite from the Modern World
Seattle-based La Familia Gallery is now offering 29 annual artist residency opportunities in Talkeetna, Alaska. Accepting applicants from around the world who concentrate in the visual arts, music, and literature, the residency program aims to encourage a better understanding of what one truly needs live, to create, and to be happy.
The La Familia Artist Residency program is designed for emerging and mid-career artists who are seeking direction, inspiration, and reflection. Artists must be actively pursuing their creative careers with passion and integrity. While participating in the program, they are expected to live and volunteer (20 hours/week of community service) in Talkeetna for the full residency period for which they apply.
The program has been developed to provide artists with an environment where they can hear their own voices while giving back to the gallery’s home community by adding to the creative dialogue.
Originally acquired in 2000, the La Familia artist residence is now being opened to the public as a unique opportunity for at least 29 artists and/or art administrators to retreat, reflect, and recover from lives over-run by commercial expectations.
It exists as a place for individuals in the arts to live with less: less stress, less noise, less technology, and less expectation. Artists will live in a small village of approximately 600 people. The residence hosts only 3 – 4 guests at any given time with some opportunities for couples. There is no TV, no Internet, no franchise, no box stores, and no pressure to be anything more than what you are.
Within the silence and the peace, you discover that what you need to create, what you need to live, and what you need to be truly happy is far less than you ever imagined. To learn more, please visit http://www.lafamiliallc.com/AKResidenceHome.php.
