ARTIST RESIDENCY PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Bakery Photographic Collective is currently offering on-going artist residencies at our shared darkroom in Portland, Maine. The goal of the residency is to provide visiting artists with 24 hour access to darkroom facilities for a period of one week to one month. Residents will have the opportunity to engage with other local photographer's, Collective members, and Portland's arts community. There are no fees associated with the program, however participants are responsible for their own housing and transportation. We can assist artists with finding low cost housing and transportation, and past residents have been able to coordinate housing shares with Collective members. The darkroom will provide chemicals, compressed air, neg carriers, grain focusers, and lenses. Visiting artists provide their own paper and are invited to join in group discount paper orders with other Collective members.
