True/ False Film Fest Artist In Residence Program and Art Installation 2025

TRUE/ FALSE ARTIST RESIDENCY- ART INSTALLATIONS 

This is a call for visual artists to apply for a five week virtual artist residency, resulting in solo installations which will transform unconventional film venues throughout the town of Columbia, MO, USA in a celebration of artists, films, music for the True/False Film Fest 2025.

We are looking for emerging and mid-career artists and encourage applications from artists who may identify as underrepresented in the traditional art world (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, and parents/caregivers).

The virtual residency will provide our visual artists a platform for cultural exchange, networking, and creative exploration, allowing artists to connect and collaborate regardless of geographical constraints, culminating in an in person exhibition of their art installations during the 2025 T/F Film Fest. 

THE RESIDENCY:

Selected artists will meet online for a weekly two hour group session (Thursdays - 6pm- 8pm CST) starting in November 2024. These sessions will focus on developing community and connection, adding to your knowledge about the current art world, and supporting the delivery of your art installation for True/False. Artists will also meet with our Art Curator, Production, Operations, and Tech Teams. We will have professional artists and curators join our weekly sessions to speak to you about the art world and art opportunities.

The residency ends with the exhibition/installation of proposed art installations at True/False on Feb. 27th- March 3rd, 2025.

Accepted artists are not required to come to the Film Festival in person.

The goals of the residency:

1) Community and connection with the other residents, True/False Art Curation Team, and professional guest artists. 

2) Providing information and opportunities to meet Curators and other professional Artists during the weekly meetings.

3) Final Exhibition of completed proposed Art Installations at the Fest.
