Works showcases emerging,
innovative, and experimental visual, performance, new media, installation,
and interdisciplinary art; and is a forum where artists and the community
can interact and expand the scope of cultural and artistic experience
and challenge the boundaries of contemporary art. Applicants must be art
knowledgeable, but previous curatorial experience is not necessary. The
exhibition programs at Works/San José are unique professional development
opportunities in which artists and curators are mentored by Works volunteers
through the production of their exhibition. While the programs are participatory,
the intellectual statement of the exhibition is solely the work of the
artist or curator.

For three (3) months the selected artist will have use of a non-living
studio space at no cost to them and will receive a modest honorarium.
This program serves emerging and under-represented artists, who have demonstrated
a professional commitment to their work and are at a critical juncture
in their development which will be furthered by participating in this
program. Applicants must be over 18 years of age, not a student, and reside
within 60 miles of San José. Due to the inclusion of the studio
within the gallery, there are sound and smell restrictions. All work created
during the residency will be the property of the Artist.
