Black Hawk, Co. April 1, 2018.

Gilpin County Public Library is pleased to announce its next search for an artist to be featured in our annual
Artist-in-Residence program.  The library is accepting letters of application from artists of all kinds for the
2018 Artist-in-Residence Program.  Artists’ letters should describe themselves and their experience in a
particular art form (painting, music, writing, photography, etc.), and should include a rough outline of approximately
10 programs they would present to the public during the months of June, July, and August,
that would “raise the consciousness of Gilpin County residents about a certain art form.”
These programs could take the form of workshops, lectures, performances, demonstrations, or any combination of such
(or other) activities.
To be eligible, an artist must reside in Gilpin County.  Letters of application can be dropped off at the library,
or mailed to:  Gilpin County Public Library, Artist-in-Residence, 15131 Highway 119, Black Hawk, CO 80422.
Applicants are encouraged to contact Michael Carlson, Library Director, with questions before submitting their letter.
(Email: mcarlson@gilpincounty.org or phone 303-582-0161.)
Deadline for applying is April 30, 2018.  The Artist-in-Residence will receive an honorarium of $1,000
for the summer along with an expense budget for all supplies.
