Calls for Art

Call for Art: Downtown Hyannis Artist Residency Opportunity

A coalition of public, private, civic, and cultural organizations are partnering to offer three artist residencies as a way to strengthen the cultural vibrancy of downtown Hyannis.

Funded by MassDevelopment’s Transformative District Initiative (TDI), the program will provide a $1,000 stipend for each artist who will spend four weeks developing a body of work that challenges existing narratives of life on Cape Cod.

TDI is spearheading the cultural coalition that includes the Hyannis Main Street Business Improvement District (BID), the Town of Barnstable, The CapeBuilt Companies, The Design Initiative Inc, Architects, the Cordial Eye, and the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod.

The artists chosen will have three available spaces in the downtown Hyannis area where they can conduct their residencies. All are within the Hyannis HyArts Cultural District and include 255 Main Street which was recently renovated by CapeBuilt; The Studio| East End, a space over 100 years old that once served as a train maintenance building; and Studio 50 @ Pearl, Hyannis HyArts Arts Campus.

Applicants interested in applying for a residency must live on Cape Cod and should provide a bio; an artist statement; 5-10 images of their work; and a statement of why they are interested in telling new narratives of life on Cape Cod. While the residencies are open to a wide variety of mediums, public art is encouraged.

Applications should be submitted through an online application hosted by the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod. The deadline to apply is Friday, October 9. The first residency is scheduled to begin on Monday, October 19, 2020, however time is flexible within a week if artist schedule requires.

Artwork on Loan – Exhibit Artwork at Barnstable Town Hall

The Town of Barnstable ‘Artwork on Loan’ program is an opportunity for artists (or groups) to display work at Town Hall. Some artists have never before displayed their work in a public setting and this is a chance for them to learn how to frame and present their work. Others are well established and delighted to share their work with those that pass through Town Hall each day.

Many visitors may not typically head to galleries or other organizations to view artwork this program is an opportunity for both artists and visitors to connect in an unexpected way!

Visitors who use the meeting rooms will discover an inviting and attractive environment and have an opportunity to learn about some of the Cape’s local artists.
