[Heather Boyd]

The little I know is that in a residency you plan and finish a project of your own design or with partnership with others.

@shinjifujioka you got it! I will probably be posting something on one of my social medias from time to time

[ArtofAleksey]

@nyrrylcadiz they apparently do these every year and it’s only a month. SVA is hecka expensive. FIT is a lot cheaper and I might go there depending on what happens at SVA.

@Aleksey congrats!!! It has been great to see your creative process and the results!

@Aleksey There should be a place to find the answers to your questions or at least a person to talk with -do they have a web page and a section on their Residencies?

[ArtofAleksey]

@Heather-Boyd yes I contacted them already. What I have gathered is there will be frequent portfolio reviews, working on our individual projects within the studio spaces, sequential art classes, various illustration industry workshops, visits to the society of illustrators, and a open viewing at the end I believe. Theres also a lunch with 3x3 magazine and Meets with art directors. Im trying to figure out what I should make my individual project that can be accomplished in a month.

Congratulations, fantastic news!

@Aleksey

Is this residency the only thing your focusing on for the month? Is it also where you go to a location or at home? -ah you said separate studio space -on campus I'd assume. So more on are you living there or just working on your project there?
