Can anyone tell me who gets into residency programs? What do you have to do? Be twenty? Be a star? Be a painter?
I have now applied to Art Omi three times, and I get the same rejection letter every year. I feel obsessed with that joint. Why won’t they in particular let me in? Oh, I guess I feel the same way about the AIM program in the Bronx. Why won’t THEY let me in?
Two conclusions:
1. I’m a bad artist
2. I don’t have a residency profile
In any case, tomorrow I have a big studio visit at the Whitney. This indeed feels like the opportunity of an early career. I can’t say that today’s rejection fills me with confidence, though.
