COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Greater Columbus Arts Council (GCAC), in partnership with the Columbus Museum of Art (CMA) and with support from community leaders, has opened applications for the 2023 Aminah Robinson Artist Residency.
Designed to honor Columbus artist Aminah Robinson, the residency is nationally focused and provides an African American professional visual artist residing in the United States the opportunity to live in Robinson’s restored Shepard community home and devote dedicated time to creating art within Robinson’s home studio.
In 2023, the 90-day residency is scheduled for Sept. 1 to Nov. 30 and will include a $15,000 unrestricted award; lodging and studio access is provided free as part of the residency. A community outreach activity is required and the artist will have the opportunity for a public presentation and/or exhibition.
The residency was launched in 2020 alongside a fellowship focused on African American professional visual artists residing in Franklin County. In 2022, Artist Anthony Peyton Young was selected for the residency.
The application deadline for the residency is March 31; the chosen applicant selected by a national jury will be notified in early May.
