Generator offers artists, designers, and other high-functioning weirdos a $750 stipend, a studio, and three months access to its state-of-the-art facility in downtown Burlington, Vermont.
The program supports 5 ambitious artists/artist groups per year in pursuit of their creative and social impact-driven projects.
Artists/Artist Groups receive:
– 3 months free membership (valued at $95/month)
– a 7’x8′ studio for 3 months (valued at $175/month)
– a $750 stipend
– technical support from skilled Generator staff and members
– 77 hour/week access to fully equipped metal, wood, jewelry, micro-electronics and rapid-prototyping facilities (after requisite tool trainings, of course)
– access to a collaborative and skilled hivemind of 400+ Generator members made up of engineers, developers, artists, professionals, and entrepreneurs
* Housing is not provided
Artists in Residence:
– are able to take the appropriate trainings a month in advance of their residency period in order to make the most of their residency
– use their stipends for educational opportunities at Generator and/or materials
– work independently
– work onsite as much as possible to realize their project and to build community at Generator
– provide a narrative description of their project and photos of themselves and/or their past work prior to their residency, as well as a residency report and 3-10 images of their project and process one week of the completion of their residency
– present a summary of their project at a public event organized by Generator alongside fellow Makers in Residence, scheduled up to three months after the residency (we work with all makers to find a date that works for everyone)
