HAUBERG FELLOWSHIP, PILCHUCK: CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

The John H. Hauberg Fellowship is named after Pilchuck cofounder John H. Hauberg (1916–2002), a philanthropist, art
collector, and important supporter of artists.
The twelve-day Hauberg residency, established to encourage collaboration among a group of outstanding artists, offers an
opportunity to create new work that utilizes Pilchuck facilities and/or is inspired by the Pilchuck environment. Visual artists in
all media as well as writers, poets, art critics, and curators are encouraged to submit proposals with a collaborative concept or
theme that makes creative use of Pilchuck’s resources and environment. This residency is limited to one group composed of a
maximum of six artists (no exceptions). Hauberg Fellows may use the vitreography studio; plaster studios; fusing, slumping, and
casting kilns; and coldworking equipment.
Proposals should address what the applicants expect to gain from living on the Pilchuck campus and outline their creative
goals. Successful applicants must be self-reliant in their creative endeavors and self-instructing in glass techniques since
limited technical assistance is available. Some members of the applicant group must have had previous experience at
Pilchuck’s glassmaking facilities. The twelve-day spring residency for six artists includes a single room in a cottage with shared
bath, meals, studio space, and limited supplies. Reimbursement for travel costs and honorarium are not provided.

Applications are due on 16th January 2010 and an application form can be downloaded from
