SUVAIR Program
The SUVAIR was formed to facilitate research and support for artists in their creative process. This program is designed to foster a unique environment for artists and students from which new ideas emerge that can change the way we all see the world. The residency will provide artists with the valuable resources of time and space for open-ended investigation, experimentation and collaboration. The program gives artists the opportunity to push the boundaries of their own practice. This freedom sparks collaborations that promote new approaches to arts education, foster community building and provide a catalyst for social change.
The SUVAIR creates a forum for dialogue between the public and the artist in residence through artist talks, a projects studio, open studio time, and other forms of public programming and materials. The residency is housed within the Seattle University campus with full access to the university library and facilities. The residency studio and offices are housed within two recently renovated buildings that once housed a streetcar turn-house. The Seattle University Fine Arts buildings are within the vibrant and bustling Capitol Hill neighborhood.
The selection of Carolina Silva was conducted by a four person panel including: Robin Held, Frye Museums Curator; Jessica Powers, Hedreen Gallery Co-Curator; Dr. Ken Allan, Seattle University Assistant Professor of Art History; and Francisco Guerrero, Seattle University Associate Professor of Visual Art and SUVAIR Director.

Application for Seattle University Visual Artist Residency in 2011
Artist in Residence (SUVAIR) Program
The SUVAIR was formed to facilitate research and support for artists in their creative process. We intend to foster a unique environment for artists and students from which new ideas emerge that can change the way we see the world. The residency will provide artists with the valuable resources of time and space for open-ended investigation, experimentation and collaboration. We require no formal exhibition of the artists work at the end of their residencies, the program gives artists the opportunity to push the boundaries of their own practice - free from the usual imperative to create a finished product. This freedom sparks collaborations that promote new approaches to arts education, foster community building and provide a catalyst for social change.
The SUVAIR creates a forum for dialogue between the public and the artist in residence through artist talks, a projects studio, open studio time, and other forms of public programming and materials.
