If like me you’re coming from outside the formal Art World, but are a crafter, maker, or artist (or do these but think “I’m not a real artist though…”)

You might also not be aware you can apply for artist residencies (aka craft residencies & similar things using terms like sabbaticals, studio & makerspace & keyholder access, awards, fellowships, scholarships) to get time, space, equipment, funding, or other support to make art. Some residencies specifically prioritize under-resourced identities, & ability to give back to a community (e.g. teachers, librarians).

This zine is an overview of what’s involved, from my viewpoint as an academic => printer who’s now more comfortable applying for residencies.

Available now:

• Online reading PDF of zine: suitable for reading on your computer (separate page per page)
• Printing minizine layout version: print & minizine fold

Coming eventually:

• Accessible text transcript & PDF versions. (The minizine text is pretty small; I should make a larger zine version and/or one to print to larger sizes of paper)
• Zine Bakery catalogue entry for this zine containing blurb, descriptive metadata, etc.
• Printing & assembly instructions.
