All three positions run from August 2023 – July 2024, with duties expected to average 3 days a week working on two case studies, each running for six months. Applications will be accepted from the full spectrum of artists, including performance and installation artists and digital and media artists, craft workers, novelists, short story writers, playwrights, poets, cartoonists, essayists, and film and documentary makers.
