DMG School Project announces that they are accepting applications for two, ONE MONTH long glass residencies. Since its inception in 2015, DMG School Project has been able to provide 11 different in house artist residencies.
The residencies will take place on the DMG Complex in St Petersburg, Florida.
Ideally, these two “Artists In Residence” have worked together or are willing to work together both individually and collaboratively.
Residency includes:
• One Month residency in September 2018.
• Shared lodging included during residency.
• 24-hour access to St Pete Hot Glass studio and cold shop; this includes up to 20 hours of glory hole usage and up to 125 pounds of furnace glass per artist, per week.
• $1000 stipend per artist.
• Exhibition in October 2018 featuring new residency work at the Duncan McClellan Gallery.
• Professional photography of exhibition
• Mentorship by Duncan McClellan on the business aspects of being a successful artist. This includes how to effectively market your work, making gallery contacts, and cultivating collectors.
DMG School Project, an educational nonprofit housed within the Duncan McClellan Gallery complex, has received generous grants from the Florida Glass Art Alliance, the Milkey Family Foundation, Hough Family Foundation Inc, Art Alliance of Contemporary Glass, and the Maurice A. And Thelma P. Rothman Foundation, making it possible to offer a four week residency for two emerging glass artists.
Duncan McClellan, President of DMG School Project is a nationally recognized, award-winning glass artist. His distinctive style of masterful craftsmanship and iconic imagery is sought after by public and private collectors throughout the United States and abroad. In 2011, he opened Duncan McClellan Gallery followed by St. Petersburg Hot Glass Workshop, both of which serve as catalysts for the development of the Warehouse Arts District. Based on his philanthropic vision to inspire personal and artistic growth through glass art, he created the educational organization, DMG School Project.
