As part of its developing Core Program, the Modern Ancient Brown Foundation is accepting applications for its Post-Baccalaureate Residency in Studio Art and Critical Studies from candidates in the Great Lakes region, from Detroit to Chicago. The Post-Baccalaureate Residency is intended to support studio practitioners as well as artists seeking to develop their work in dialogue with Critical Studies.  Four Post-Baccalaureate Artists in Residency will be chosen for a 4.5 month residency. In Fall 2024 and in Spring 2025, two Residents will be chosen to share a 1,000 sq ft studio space. Each Resident will also receive a monthly stipend of $1,500. The intent is to encourage those selected to take the time and space to explore their chosen media.

Post-Baccalaureate Residents will have ample opportunities, facilitated as appropriate by the Foundation, to interact with the broader Metro-Detroit community of artists, writers, and scholars. The minimal commitment asked of each Resident will involve: consistent use of the studio space; participation in crits and mentoring; participation in one curated dinner conversation at the Foundation; permission to publish some of the work undertaken at the Foundation in the Foundation’s annual publication of work by Residents, Fellows, and invited participants; and finally, we ask that the Foundation be acknowledged upon publication or exhibition of work supported by the Foundation. The application cycle is open January 3,  2024; deadline February 23, 2024; results announced in April 2023. The Foundation highly encourages BIPOC applicants.
