Saint John's Pottery, the Jerome Foundation and the Camargo Foundation have launched a joint six-week residency on art and the environment. Through this program, two artists are offered a residency at the Camargo Foundation.

Participating artists will exemplify the mission of The Saint John's Pottery through a commitment to the integration of art and life, the preservation of the environment, and the celebration of diverse cultures. Interaction with The Saint John's Pottery and the setting of Cassis provide a rich backdrop for artists to explore theles of environmental art, eco-mutualism, creative placemaking and relationships between humans and the natural world of the Anthropocene.

• For artists from all disciplines working at the intersection of art and the environment

Located at Saint John's University in Minnesota, US, The Saint John's Pottery has challenged artists to work creatively with natural systems for over 35 years.

Two artists are chosen per year. Applicants must be residents of Minnesota or one of the five boroughs of New York City and have lived there for at least one year prior to the application date. Although age is not a factor in determining an emerging artist, students in K-12 educational programs or enrolled in undergraduate or graduate degree programs at the time of application are not eligible to apply. Knowledge of French is beneficial but not required.

Residencies may include, but are not limited to: development of a new body of work, creative interaction with regional sites of environmental and geological significance such as the Calanques National Park, exploration of contemporary art and culture nearby Marseille, and creative research in Aubagne, a city known for its ceramic history.

Each grantee will be awarded US $3,000 to cover costs such as food and supplies. They will also receive airfare to and from Cassis, and housing accomodations at the Camargo Foundation.

6 weeks.
