Caldera sets artists in residence, open studios
Caldera is excited to welcome its 2014 Artists in Residence (AiR). January through March, Artists in Residence will stay for four-weeks at Caldera’s Arts Center on Blue Lake. Artists are selected through an application and jurying process and are granted a private cottage and studio or workspace.
Caldera was recently awarded a Golden Spot Award from The Ford Family Foundation to support the AiR program. The two-year, $40,000 award is divided equally between operations and artists stipends to Oregon visual artists.
Additionally, due to a generous grant from Concordia Foundation, all 2014 Caldera residents will be receiving a $500 stipend. During their stays at Caldera, Artists in Residence contribute to Caldera and the local area community by teaching Saturday workshops to Caldera’s high school students and in Caldera’s middle school classes.
