Frank Waters: Man and Mystic by Vine Deloria. Jr. Residency Application Process Thank you for your interest in
a Studio Residency for creative endeavor at the Frank Waters Foundation located
ten miles northeast of Taos in Arroyo Seco, New Mexico.
Engaged in a continuing building process, at this time we have available
only one studio large enough for one person.
Ours is not a communal type program.
Rather, it is an opportunity to commune in solitude with a uniquely creative spirit of
place. Built in 1996, the studio is
a one-room, wide window, adobe style cottage located at the edge of an aspen
grove at approximately 8000 feet in altitude and 125 feet from the main Waters
house. The cottage is equipped with cooking facilities,
refrigerator, wood-burning stove, high bed with storage space underneath and a
good view outdoors. A porch opening
on a small meadow has the same view, ranging west-southwest of Taos.
This fifteen-acre property is located one mile east of Arroyo Seco.
Transportation is by bicycles supplied by the Foundation, or by private
car.
from The Man Who Killed the Deer, Chapter V AVAILABILITY:
This non-smoking studio is available from April through October for one
or two months at a time.
We would appreciate a $250 monthly donation to the Frank Water Foundation
for this opportunity. A $50
nonrefundable advance applied toward the total donation amount would be part of the agreement with an
accepted resident. Television is
discouraged. Electrical outlets are
available for computers.
APPLICATION:
The application process is competitive.
Participants are selected by a committee made up of members of the FWF
board of directors, including Barbara Waters, widow of the author.
Familiarity with some of Frank Waters work is required.
To apply, please submit:
1. A letter of intent, in which you clearly
outline the purpose of your project and the reasons you wish to pursue it in a
secluded mountain setting, as well as the ways in which you intend to assess
progress. Within two weeks after departure, you are expected to
provide
the Foundation with a two-page summary of what you have accomplished during your
residency.
2.
A
personal vita or resume of two pages maximum, listing educational
background or other preparation, projects, and publications that seem
relevant.
PROPOSALS:
Proposals for two-month residencies will be given
preference, but
proposals for one-month residencies are important to us,
too. Please
request specific residency dates by month.
Requests should be received
by us at least four to six months in advance of
preferred dates. Only
the months of September and October remain open in 2002.
We hope you will apply, and will tell others about this
opportunity.
