MOTHRA: Artist-Parent Project
2025
Have you read the information about the residency? [ ie. MOTHRA is interested in bringing together the parent child relationship in the artist residency setting, rather than separating the child from the adult for art-making purposes. The children are why this project exists, and we want to include them as contributors. You are responsible for your child at all times. ]

What sharable skills do you have?
What would the ideal sleeping arrangement be for your family for this residency? [Please do keep in mind that GP’s rooms and sleeping configurations vary. We do our best to accommodate everyone we accept, but sometimes we run out of space. GP has accommodation for larger families in the two available portables, there is one room with two double beds, and some rooms where a separate cot can be placed. All rooms have one double bed. Most bedrooms do not have a toilet and sink in the room.]
*
If your child sleeps in a crib/cot, will you be bringing one or will you need help sourcing this?
We have some large shared studios available and two small private studios available. What are your preferences?

Finances: We are happy to send a letter of support to everyone who is accepted in order for them to apply for funding to attend. Depending on deadlines, some funding comes through after the residency has taken place. A number of past MOTHRA artists have been successful at acquiring funding for this residency. We have limited financial assistance available to artists who feel they need some financial help in order to attend. The fee structure has changed for 2023, and especially for larger families the cost will be higher. If you feel you will need financial assistance from us, please tell us a little bit about your situation.
COVID-19 Vaccine: MOTHRA wants to ensure a safe living environment at AGP for all who take part. Are you, and everyone coming with you, up to date on your vaccinations? Are you able to show proof should you be asked?
*
Yes, we are up-to-date on our vaccinations.
No, we are not up-to-date/we have not been vaccinated.
Yes, I can show proof of vaccination.
No, I can't show proof of vaccination.
Masks: At the time of writing, the use of masks at AGP is up to the individual. However, some people in communal spaces, ie. kitchen, common rooms, do wear masks. Are you willing to wear a mask in the communal spaces, to protect yourself and others?
*
Yes
No
And finally, 2023 will have a focus on research, through practice and dialogue. Are you prepared to participate in this way? [ie. to join in discussion, experimental art making, to gather as a group, to work together to write hypothetical grant applications for artist-parents, to come up with guidelines for artist residencies, to wonder and plan together how we can bash patriarchal modes of professionalism etc…]
