Call­ing all artists! A three– to four-month sum­mer art res­i­dency is being offered at the Yosemite Field Sta­tion inside Yosemite National Park. The Sci­en­tific Visu­al­iza­tion Fel­low­ship (SciViz) is being offered by the Uni­ver­sity of Cal­i­for­nia Merced, Sierra Nevada Research Institute.

SNRI SciViz Fel­low­ships are com­pet­i­tive awards intended to sup­port work that is inspired by nature and sci­ence or that cre­atively com­mu­ni­cates sci­en­tific research to a gen­eral audi­ence. The term “visu­al­iza­tion” is used broadly to refer to all forms of artis­tic media.

SciViz Fel­lows will receive a $1750 stipend and three months of shared hous­ing inside Yosemite National Park at the SNRI Yosemite Field Sta­tion in Wawona. This is a self-directed oppor­tu­nity to col­lab­o­rate with uni­ver­sity and park researchers, grad­u­ate stu­dents, under­grad­u­ates, high school stu­dents, and park edu­ca­tion and out­reach spe­cial­ists. Awardees are strongly encour­aged to inter­act with researchers and stu­dents par­tic­i­pat­ing in sum­mer pro­grams at YFS.

The Sta­tion does not have for­mal stu­dio space for art or large instal­la­tion pieces. Awardees will be required to bring their own tools/equipment and should be able to work within the space con­straints of the YFS facilities.

Inde­pen­dently moti­vated, ener­getic, cre­ative thinkers are strongly encour­aged to apply.

Both cur­rent stu­dents and young pro­fes­sion­als are eli­gi­ble for this award..

All appli­ca­tion mate­ri­als must be sub­mit­ted by the first day of spring, 2011 to Eric Berlow (eberlow@ucmerced.edu):

Signed let­ters of ref­er­ence should be emailed separately.
