Unlisted Projects 24-HR LOCK IN MAY OPEN CALL
Program Background and Open Call Information
Unlisted Projects and The Museum of Human Achievement (MoHA) present a new 24-hour Lock-In Arts Residency program. We welcome all artistic mediums and individuals whose work is outside the box. Residents will work on-site in a climate-controlled renovated 1970s trailer with a private yard and have access to the larger production and workshop spaces inside of MoHA.
Artists will spend the weekend in “shifts” working on their project: one 12-hour day and then another 12-hour day with built-in breaks and meals. A $500 stipend will be provided per weekend resident, along with $200 toward childcare, animal boarding, or costs that would make the residency more accessible to the resident. 3 Meals per day and any delivery costs will be covered while in residence. Residents will be asked to share their experience and part of their work during a community event/panel.
The residency will last 2 days. The 24-hour residency will be completed in two 12-hour days. Selected artists will be provided an orientation and tour of the space on the Friday before their residence. Orientation is expected to last 1-2 hours and does not count toward the artist’s working time.
Available weekend residencies are: Nov 14-16, Dec 12-14, and a Jan 2026 residency (dates TBD).
Selection
Artists-In-Residence are selected by a review panel through our Open Call application process. UP will prioritize artists with obligations like full-time employment, school work, children (human or animal), or other commitments that would make more traditional residencies (lasting from 1-3 weeks, months, or a year) unattainable. Unlisted Projects 24-Hr Lock-In Residency is intended to be more accessible to part-time artists or artists whose personal, professional, and or systemic barriers make it challenging to pursue arts projects. Societally marginalized artists are especially encouraged to apply including but not limited to LGBTQIA+, Native, Black, POC, and disabled artists.
About the application
Our application requires a brief intended project statement, a short bio, and a work sample.
