The Meet the Maker series is a high-impact
rotation of visual artists exhibiting their work and leading programs that
introduce new and exciting art and art-making techniques to Museum visitors,
staff and educators. By
cultivating relationships with local and national artists, the Museum hopes to
encourage artists to collaborate with children while introducing visitors to
their work.
The
goal of the program is to develop new insights by incorporating the artistic
process with other investigative processes in the development of new art works
at SCM and exposing those processes to the general public.
- To enhance the role of SCM
as a center of cultural investigation for families and children.
- To make emerging artists’
artwork more accessible to the public.
- To provide new avenues of
art exploration for SCM.
Artists
with demonstrated capabilities for working on immersive, collaborative,
interactive, and/or performance art works are eligible. The program is intended
to support emerging artists in their development, although mid-career and
established artists are encouraged to apply as well.
The
format of the program is designed with the intent that artists and the public
will collaborate on a body of work together. On alternating Saturdays within a given month the artist
will locate themselves in the Museum classroom where they will offer an easily
accessible project to all visiting guests that reflects the core themes of
their oeuvre. The program will run
for approximately 3 hours.
Participating
artists receive administrative support from the SCM staff, including assistance
in developing concepts for potential works and the following support:
- A materials and equipment
fund is available in amounts to be determined dependent upon the proposed
project.
- Museum staff support to
assist in the identification and securing of materials.
- All prototypes and
examples will be fabricated by the artist. Limited skilled labor support
during the fabrication and installation process will be available, as
needed.
- Marketing and publicity
for the dates of the program and artist’s exhibit.
- Access to the Museum
classroom, theater, Community Archive, and lobby.
- Space to exhibit their
work for sale within the Community Archive Space and/Museum lobby.
