The goal of the Artist in Residence Program is to encourage creativity and growth of our arts community. We provide a beautiful live/work space for you to create, you provide the art!

Artist residencies are available for anywhere from a weekend to a month. Artists interested in a residency submit a proposal of how you would use the time here, a work sample and resume. You may attach images to your email or send us links to your website.

Proposals should include the following information:

• 10 Images (or videos or audio where applicable) of current work
• Artist statement
• CV or resume
• Dates of stay (a first and second preference please)

Please clearly outline ways in which you will engage the artistic community. Examples may include but are not limited to:

• Artist talk
• Workshop
• Collaboration with Paducah artists
• Community involvement or exhibition type to be offered during your stay

Each artist accepted into the program must sign a sublease and indemnification before their stay. Stipends are reserved for
selected guests and will be received only after a conclusion statement and images are submitted at the end of the artist’s stay.

Artist Statement My artistic development spirals around a need to express, making new discoveries, and continually returning to familiar themes. I have always relied upon things that are close to me, things that speak about the passions in my life and are often derived from day to day experiences. The recent purchase and renovation of a new house and larger studio helped to create a kind of re-invention I had been looking for. With a refreshed energy and a synthesis of old ideas I find myself gravitating again to the figure, landscape, and various icons but with a desire to convey a level of anticipation and mystery. I work by diving in- the passion of creating is vital. Usually there's a vague general direction, but rarely do I have a clear idea of what will happen. "If I knew where I was going, I'd be lost." Seldom do I try to portray a literal visual meaning. It is more important to allow content to come through me in the working out of a successful composition. This relationship with my art falls somewhere between taking full control and just letting things happen. The result is an exploration of balance between frenzied paint scribbling and the tight rendering of a figure; between the regularity of black and white lettering and a multi-colored paint palette. I like to juxtapose seemingly unrelated or competing elements to create visual and technical contrast. I have a conversation with the piece as it unfolds. As the work takes on its own personality, it lets me know where it needs to go and I attempt to get it there. The work is complete when it stops asking for more. Ron Pokrasso, December, 2008

The winner will notified on June 4th. The name of the winner will be announced in our next newsletter. May Printmaking Newsletter June 2, 2010 (oops, a little bit late) Features: Carborundum Collagraph A collagraph is a platemaking process in which simple materials such as acrylic mediums, textured papers, fabrics, etc. are used to build up the surface of the plate. Silk Aquatint, Carborundumand PhotoCarborundum are considered Collagraphs. These low tech and inexpensive methods will produce rich and highly developed images with out the use of dangerous chemicals or acids.

Video demos showing Making a Carborundum Plate and Inking the Plates will be coming soon. THREE GREAT ADVANTAGES: to using Aluminum Oxide instead of Silicon Carbide for Carborundum Printmaking Carborundum is the trade name for Silicon Carbide (bluish black grit). Aluminum Oxide (brownish black grit) is recommended as an alternative. LEARN MORE Silicon Carbide is harder but it will fracture and break down quicker than Aluminum Oxide. Aluminum Oxide is rounder in grain while Silicon Carbide is sharper in grain. When wiping the ink off the surface of the plate, the jagged grain of the Silicon Carbide may tear the tarlatan leaving behind small pieces of lint on the surface of the plate. Aluminum Oxide's rounded grain offers a smoother wiping process and decreases the problem of shredded tarlatan. Aluminum Oxide is more economical. They are both available in the same grades ranging from fine to medium and coarse grits. Print results look the same. VIEW & PRINT TONAL RANGE CHART VIEW & PRINT CARBORUNDUM INSTRUCTIONS
