The Children\u2019s Museum of Pittsburgh announces a request for proposals for its annual Tough Art Residency Program. The residency invites artists to work in the museum to develop and create artworks that will be exhibited fall\/winter 2019.<\/p>\n
Members of the museum\u2019s exhibition staff work hand in hand with artists to produce interactive and innovative artworks that have a direct impact on the visitor experience. Throughout the residency, artists work collaboratively with staff to build prototypes, test ideas on the museum floor, and fabricate and install a finished work that is \u201ctough\u201d enough to thrive in a hands on environment.<\/p>\n
We seek submissions from artists who represent the broad spectrum of the greater artist community. We value diversity in age, gender, ethnicity and gender expression as well as diversity in medium.<\/p>\n

This residency offers a $5,000 honorarium, $3,500 materials budget, access to fabrication facilities, marketing and documentation services, and an opening reception. Out-of-town artists are provided with housing and transit to\/from Pittsburgh. The residency runs June through mid-September 2019; artists are expected to be in Pittsburgh for the duration of the residency.<\/p>\n
