Hello,



The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh announces a call for artists for its
annual Tough Art Artist Residency. The residency program invites artists to
work in the museum to develop and create works that will be exhibited
fall/winter 2018.



This residency offers a $5,500 honorarium, $3,000 materials budget, access
to fabrication facilities, marketing and documentation services, and an
opening reception. Out-of-town artists are provided with housing and
transit to/from Pittsburgh.

The goal of this residency is to produce fine art that is tough enough to
withstand children’s interaction. Artists work with museum staff to build
prototypes, test ideas on the museum floor, and fabricate and install a
finished work. The residency runs June through August; artists are expected
to be in Pittsburgh for the duration of the residency.



We encourage submissions from artists who represent the broad spectrum of
the greater artist community, including emerging artists with demonstrated
capabilities. We want diversity in age, gender, ethnicity and gender
expression as well as diversity in medium.
