BULLSEYE ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE
Summer/Fall Residencies
Bullseye Projects is happy to announce our artists-in-residence for July through December 2019. Our self-directed residency program provides artists and designers with the materials, equipment, and space needed to explore a new material, expand the scale of their work, or refine a technique. Our selection committee reviewed an overwhelming number of qualified proposals and selected five artists who have been invited to participate in residencies at Bullseye Studio in Portland, Oregon, and at our Resource Centers in the San Francisco Bay Area, Santa Fe, Los Angeles, and Westchester County, New York.

Laurel Garcia Colvin
Laurel Garcia Colvin explores connections between our perceptions and personal memory in her mixed media drawings and installations. Her work delves into the worlds of reality, fantasy, history and politics, and provides a visual space to reflect on and reconsider the relationship between what remains, what is scrapped, and what is made new in society’s collective consciousness. Her work has been exhibited at galleries and art fairs in New York City, throughout the United States, and in Europe. Colvin’s art will represent New Mexico in a national, collaborative, all-female artist project entitled Her Flag, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment in 2020. She received an M.F.A. and B.F.A. from The University of Texas at Austin and did post-graduate studies at Pratt Institute.
