Convergence is offering artists the opportunity to apply for one of 3 vacant studios. Studios are located in the Lab building at 1819 Quaker Lane in Alexandria, VA. Studio space is available for rent: $175, utilities included, per month for one year, at which point, artists may resubmit an application for continuance in the program. This is to be an incubation time. Artists may keep their studio for a maximum of two years.
The Arts Center at Convergence is a creative cluster of studios, galleries, offices, rehearsal, performance and public space. We are seeking out a diverse group of artists in a variety of media who are active, self-motivated, interested in the exchange of artistic ideas, and open to sharing their artistic processes with others. A panel comprised of Convergence staff and artists will select artists based on the quality of work, professional commitment, and interest in participating in a stimulating and creative environment. We are particularly interested in artists who use alternative media and artists whose work is experimental or culturally engaging. Selected artists will be asked to interview with the panel prior to acceptance. If you are interested in the studios, please read the "Information About the Studios"packet and submit the application. After we have received your application we will set up a time for an interview and tour of the space.
