Application notesThe application process is conducted in two stages via SurveyMonkey Apply. The first stage requires basic contact information, a 2,000-character artistic statement, a resume/CV of no more than five pages demonstrating at least five years of professional experience, and a link to the artist's website. Applicants must submit work samples from the last three years: either up to six images (which can be consolidated into a single PDF) or one video up to five minutes long. Applicants cannot submit both images and video. Selected applicants are invited to a second stage, which requires additional written statements and a letter of recommendation. Applications must be submitted online, and no late applications are accepted. The organization recommends applying early to avoid technical issues. There is no application fee.
