VIRGINIA BEACH CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS COMMUNITY ARTIST RESIDENCY
Download Request for Qualifications
The City of Virginia Beach Cultural Affairs Department, in partnership with Virginia Beach City Public Schools is looking to engage one artist or art team, to participate in a short-term Artist Residency with Bayside 6th Grade Campus and Bayside Middle School, to produce creative public art projects that are reflective of the school and the community.
The public art projects will be displayed at Williams Farm Park, for one or two days at the completion of the Residency. The artist is encouraged to connect with local businesses, community organizations, and neighbors to produce a temporary public work that engages the community and reflects their spirit and collective story. This opportunity is open to any visual, performing or literary artist who can commit to a six-week residency program.
Residency Goals
- This program is to provide an opportunity for the artist and the school to develop projects that have a positive impact on the social and physical connectivity in and around the partnered school.
- To create deep community engagement that results in a collaborative, creative pop-up art project.
- Artist will have six weeks to get to know the school and surrounding community and develop a creative project in response to the short-term residency with the school.
- The residency is not limited to visual artists. The final project should activate the physical space of Williams Farm Park.
- The structure of this residency is intentionally open-ended.
