The master printer assists artists. Travel and accommodations are provided by Brandywine. Artists receive one-half of each edition produced, which do not exceed 100. An Artist Advisory Committee reviews the submitted applications and based upon available funding, recommends the top candidates. Notification can take up to six months. Visiting Artists Until further notice, Brandywine is unable to accept new applications. This is due reductions in funding and an organizational emphasis on artist selection based on specific themes designed to create new work that would augment gallery exhibition programs. Brandywine is preparing an initiative to attract applications from young minority artists from diverse backgrounds and geographic locations. Regional and Young Artist in Residence Due to budget cutbacks, Brandywine will only accept new applications for local artists. If you live in the Philadelphia area and do not require travel and accommodations, you can apply. Please submit 10 images, a resume and brief statement of what your project would be. Residencies may extend to two- months for those unable to spend consecutive days on- site. We are organizing our Fall 2010- Summer 2011 Schedule and would consider you, if approved, for a slot during that time period. You should suggest a time slot that would be most attractive for you. Allow 6-8 weeks for a response. Mail your information to Brandywine Workshop 728 S. Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19146. Brandywine announces the Arts4OurSake networking community for urban high school students. The Brandywine Workshop wishes to build a cyber community of high school students nationally, especially those in large urban school districts. Our goal is to address a need for dialogue and peer-to-peer mentoring/ assessments centered on their art and career aspirations. In particular, Brandywine is proceeding on a theory that many minority art students in urban districts are without the benefit of professional role models/mentors and exposure to successful artists, architects, graphic and fashion designers, and creatives in visual media (film, video,digital graphics). We are assisted in this effort by members of the creative collective Apogee@brandywineworkshop.

This lack of access and limited knowledge of the cultural contributions and achievements of people of diverse ethnic backgrounds sets artificial limits on students ability to use their passion and talents to plan a career in the creative economy. Arts4OurSake is an initiative of Brandywine to address the need for mentoring and exposure across generations to ensure greater access and improve the guidance that can be offered to students (9th-12th grade). Many of the students we hope to reach and engage may be the first generation to apply to college or the first to aspire to a professional career as a visual artist or other creative profession. Brandywine is offering the following solutions to high school art students who wish to learn about training, financing, personal sacrifice, self-development, and strategies they can use to grow and have a successful career. - Build a network of students with similar needs and ambitions who can serve as peer-to-peer mentors in helping to recommend art schools and colleges, evaluate their portfolio, and even offer suggestions on how to address classroom assignments based upon success they may have had with a similar class project.
- Identify with professional artists who are willing to review their portfolio in preparation for submission to colleges. This would include an early review in 11th grade and a final or late review in 12th grade. Some of these well established artists may serve as references and, depending upon geographic location, mentors to students.
- Provide suggested sources for research assignments such as books or links to artist web sites, archives and institutions where they can view and learn about the work of an artist.This is extremely helpful to students who want to learn about artists with a similar heritage or explore questions and trends in art history from a more diverse perspective than what the classroom teacher may be able to share.
- Establish, early on, a network of students who are mutually supportive and encouraging of the aspirations of each other, many of whom will become the established artists and leaders of the future. This initial start at networking in a field so dominated by one's ability to form connections between people and resources, will help over time to address to lack of access minority professionals experience in the creative economy.
