Call to Artists: Folklore & Collage Virtual Residency 2025

Folklore & Collage Residency is a four-week program designed to support artists who want to develop a practice that includes folklore in their artmaking. In four virtual meetings over four weeks and through ongoing, online discussion, we will explore folklore as an idea, its role in culture, and influence on art. During the Residency, artists will identify stories from communities and make art which activates these stories. Artists will examine the work done previously by artists in Kolaj Institute’s Folklore Collage Society Project to develop a series of strategies for making collage that is in conversation with folklore relevant to their own community.

Dates: Four Sundays starting 14 December 2025, 1-3PM EST
Fee: $500
Deadline: Saturday, 12/6/2025
