VIA Westobou Gallery: The Westobou Artist in Residence program was created to build on the momentum, reputation
and excitement of Westobou Gallery’s annual Augusta-based artist exhibition. The program will provide career building opportunities for artists to expand their development, research, build relationships and master their craft.

The Westobou Artist in Residence program awards free studio space to 1 emerging or mid-career Augusta-based visual artist for 1 year (Jan-Dec 2021) at the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art (GHIA). The program provides a $2,000 stipend for research, tools and supplies to build a body of work for an exhibition at Westobou Gallery in the beginning of 2022. In collaboration with the GHIA, the artist-in-residence will teach a year-long workshop series to community members. In addition to the stipend for creating work, the artist will be compensated up to $2,000 for teaching a workshop. Submissions are due on November 30, 2020 and the selected artist will be notified in December 2020.
