Buckham Fine Arts Project is pleased to announce it is accepting submissions for its second Writer In Residence!

BFAP: Writer In Residence

Buckham Fine Arts Project launched its Writer In Residence project in early 2021 to engage contemporary literary arts and Flint’s Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) community. The Resident Writer will produce written components responding to each exhibition, plus additional content that will respond to topical issues and personal research. This collaboration will provide an opportunity for the writer to engage with their interest in visual art and gain exposure for their literary arts, and engage Flint’s BIPOC community in a meaningful way.  BFAP is actively seeking to grow deeper ties within our community. Compositions and more to be compiled with exhibition programming in a publication at the season’s end, September 2022. 

A single literary artist will be selected for the 2021 - 2022 residency. They will receive an honorarium of $1,000  exemplifying BFAP’s commitment to supporting contemporary arts in our community.
