This fall, we @ AMPLIFY are running another 3-week session of our beloved Cuyama Valley Teaching Artist Residency in partnership with New Cuyama's BLUE SKY CENTER, and we need an incredible female-identifying or gender-expansive artist for it. THAT ARTIST COULD BE YOU!
HELPFUL DETAILS
- Must be 18+ years old and self-identify as female and/or gender-expansive.
- Must have a vehicle of some kind to get around the very rural and therefore physically spread-out region.
- Must spend 100+ hours actively being teaching resident artists (this is a full-time commitment for the 3-week contract).
- Enjoy lodging, studio space, welcome/farewell feast, and a…$2,425 STIPEND! (plus up to $600 for travel + $450 for student workshop supplies)
- Application deadline is SEPTEMBER 7, 2023!! (psst...that's TONIGHT!)
- Residency to tentatively take place October 14–November 6 in New Cuyama, CA (dates flexible).
Please feel empowered to forward this opportunity along to any rad artists in your orbit. This is a totally OPEN CALL, not just for the Amplify community! We want to hear from everyone with a passion for creating and teaching their unique art form 🤘

One of our wildly bright, brave longtime program participants CHASE has been involved with Temecula LGBTQIA+ Youth and their work in lobbying against the forced outing of trans youth within Temecula Valley Unified School District. Please feel empowered to show your support by checking out their platforms and even donating, if you can. CHASE + big sister JOELLE (program alum + now staff) are huge, wonderful, irreplaceable parts of our community, and we're so proud to repeatedly see them advocating for the causes they believe in.
