ABOUT THE RESIDENCY

During select years, The Marlin and Regina Miller Gallery at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania requests proposals from artists, craftspersons, and designers for the production of an original, temporary, site-specific installation for our exhibition space The selected artist (or artist team) will be awarded $10,000 and will work with university students and community members during the residency period The installation exhibition will be on view during the fall of that academic year. Proposed artwork can be realized in any medium and there are no restrictions on form or content.

Proposals that demonstrate innovation and deep, nuanced understanding of contemporary art, craft, or design are preferred. Proposals must be for a site-specific installation and must differ greatly from a solo exhibition.

All proposals are reviewed by a committee for overall artistic merit, impact on the experience of our students, feasibility within the established time-frame and budget, artist's demonstration of ability to complete such a project , and the relationship of the project to the gallery's mission

This residency and exhibition by Eric Anthony Berdis was sponsored in part by the Kutztown University Art Education Department We are indebted to Dr Carrie Nordlund (Professor, KU Art Education Department) for her research, care, and work that was integral to bringing this exhibition to the KU community.
