Call for Albright-inspired Artist

The Warrenville Historical Museum & Art Gallery invites artist to submit themselves for the upcoming 2018-2019 Albright-inspired artist-in-residency. Artists who have been inspired by Adam Emory Albright or his twin sons Ivan and Malvin, who used the Museum’s building as an Art Gallery in the mid-20th century, are encouraged to submit a brief statement of interest and CV by Monday, August 20th. The chosen artist will receive a $1,000 stipend in exchange for the creation of at least one original piece and at least three community / educational programs (which can include open studio time in the Albright Building). The chosen artist will work with the museum’s curator/director to develop the residency schedule to best fit the artist and community programming, and be given an opportunity to display other artworks at the Museum and in the Warrenville community. Questions and submissions can be sent to Sara Phalen at info@warrenvillehistorical.org or 630-393-4215. This program is sponsored in part by the City of Warrenville Hotel Motel Tax Fund.
