The City of Providence Department of Art, Culture + Tourism and the Providence Art in City Life Commission announce ACT Public Art’s Public Art Residencies. This year, ACT Public Art will embed artists in City Archives and Rogers Recreation Center. The artist-in-residence at Madeline Rogers -Selim Recreation Center will work with constituents to co-design, fabricate and install a mural on the center’s exterior wall. The artist-in-residence at City Archives will work directly with the City Archivist to mine the collection and respond to the prompt, Colonial Providence. Both residencies are six months long and have a $10,000 award. Qualifications for the Public Art Residencies are due on November 30th 2018. Artists may apply for both calls but will need to submit separate applications. To learn more and apply go to: http://artculturetourism.com/act-public-art-open-calls/
