Terms & Conditions
The Image Flow is offering the use of its facilities and equipment on a limited basis to a selected Artist in Residence. Due to the nature of our business as a production and educational facility, certain areas/equipment may not always be accessible. We ask that the chosen AIR work with us and respect the staff workflow when this is the case. The Image Flow staff will have limited availability to assist the AIR due to daily work tasks.
This is a work-only residency; artists not local to the area are welcome to apply but will need to secure housing arrangements independently.
The residency will last approximately 2-3 months, with the possibility of extension. The time frame for the residency is flexible, ideally taking place between the months of June and September 2019, depending on the availability of the selected resident photographer.
The selected resident photographer will gain access to our photo studio and lighting, a dedicated workspace with Epson 7880 and 3880 printers, traditional and alternative darkrooms, and a limited supply of inkjet papers for printing purposes. Participants in the residency program are expected to use their time to pursue their own personal projects, which may include photographing, printing, or other work inherent to their specific endeavors.
Note: Residents will need to provide their own primary camera(s), as well as a personal laptop or computer for use with the Epson printers. When using the darkroom facilities, residents must provide their own chemicals/papers.
At the close of the residency, participants will donate a selection of work to The Image Flow's Artist in Residence Collection, the details of which are negotiable upon acceptance. The resident photographer may also choose to present a lecture on their work to the community, though this will be voluntary. There will also be the possibility for the chosen resident photographer to mount an exhibition of work created during the course of the residency.
The Image Flow reserves the right to terminate the residency at the discretion of the owner.
