Vox Populi is Accepting Applications for a guest artists residency in August with an exhibition in Sept/Oct 2024.

Vox Populi is pleased to announce our annual open call offering two artists or one collaborative duo the opportunity to extend and challenge their artistic practice. This upcoming year we are also introducing our first Residency+Exhibitions application. We seek to support artists who are working in a range of media, who take on various subject matter and material, and who represent the range of diversity present and underrepresented in our communities, including on the axis of race, class, gender, and sexuality, as well as geographic points of origin (eg. rural, non-art centers, underrepresented localities).

Vox Populi is interested in exhibitions by national artists from outside the larger Philadelphia area (outside a 50 mile radius). We are seeking artists and collaborators without commercial representation, who want to find new audiences. Vox Populi is interested in work that takes place in experimental media and employs alternative methodologies, pushing boundaries in terms of form and content. We want work that takes risks, is ambitious, timely, and experimental

Residency Information: Summer residents receive 24-hour access to a semi-private apartment in a historic home in the Germantown Neighborhood in Philadelphia. Accommodations include a private bedroom and bathroom in a shared house, complete with common spaces, and kitchen. Artists-in-residence also have access to our limited workspace and dry studio. Monthly programming includes group and one-on-one studio visits with our artists members, Executive Director, and other Philadelphia artists. Other activities include communal dinners, access to Vox Populi events and inclusion in other artistic opportunities.

Artists will have 24 hour access to the Vox Populi gallery during the duration of their stay and throughout their exhibition install period.

Review Process Artists-in-residence are selected by the Vox Populi artists members. Residents will be selected based on the quality of their work, commitment to their practice, feasibility of their exhibition proposal and ability to interact positively with the community at large.
