Applications are now open for the inaugural Chippewa Watershed
Conservancy Artist Residency!

Are you an artist working in conversation with the natural wonders of
Central Michigan? The CWC is in search of artists who are interested in
the interwoven web of art and science to participate in this new program
celebrating the many natural preserves of the CWC.

This program offers opportunities for artists working in any medium to
promote a deeper experience with the natural world. Three selected
artists will spend the summer months with open access to the twenty-seven
beautiful nature preserves owned and stewarded by the CWC, and
create their work centered around that environment. Finished work will
be displayed digitally on social media, on the CWC website, in the printed
newsletter, as well as physically at the Fall Fundraiser on October 3rd of
this year.

To apply, please prepare three quality images of your work, as well as an artist
statement to this Google Form: https://bit.ly/CWC_Artist_Residency

Fostering relationships between the community and nature is a core
value of the CWC. We hope these experiences are meaningful for the
artists, as well as the people who interact with the pieces they create.

The CWC Artist Residency is a voluntary agreement between
an artist and the Chippewa Watershed Conservancy. The CWC
will be granted the use, at no charge, of the completed work
for promotional and marketing purposes. No stipend or
housing options are available for this residency.

Applications are due June 15th and any questions can be directed to autumn@cwc-mi.org
