> this art form, and promote the Workspace artists through  
> exhibitions of their work produced at Dieu Donné.
>
> HOW TO APPLY
> The Workspace Program 2007-08 application deadline is Tuesday, May  
> 15, 2007. The online application form is now available online at

> other formats sent via postal mail or e-mail will not be accepted.  
> All applications must be submitted online via our website starting

> PROGRAM
> Three artists will be selected by panel & interview process to  
> participate in the Workspace Program. Each artist will receive a  
> $700 honorarium, advance preparation of materials and professional  
> assistance during a seven day collaboration (days are non- 
> consecutive). The staff consults with each artist in order to  
> strategize a logical approach in realizing their work through  
> handmade paper. They will also prepare the pulp, solve technical  
> issues and collaborate with the artist in the fabrication and  
> drying of the work.
>
> Dieu Donné provides sheet forming capabilities up to 40 x 60  
> inches. The new facility at 315 West 36th Street includes 7,000  
> square feet of wet/dry floor space, a 2,200 PSI hydraulic press,  
> two 10 lb. and one 2 lb. Hollander beater, worktables, studio tools  
> and a wide range of papermaking fibers, vats, moulds/deckles,  
> felts, boards, glass/metal sheets, cotton cloths and neutral pH  
> blotters used to dry pressed sheets.
>
> The collaborations and the finished artwork are documented by  
> photography and video and included in the Dieu Donné slide registry  
> for study by artists, students, collectors, and curators. The  
> artist owns all artworks produced during the residency, however,  
> each artist is asked to donate two pieces to the Dieu Donné Archive  
> of Paper Art and work may also be consigned to The Gallery at Dieu  
> Donné. The archive is used as a study collection and for exhibition  
> purposes. Dieu Donné presents exhibitions in its gallery and  
> curates off-site exhibitions of paper art, in which Workspace  
> artists are often included.
>
> ELEGIBILITY
> Dieu Donné Papermill defines an emerging artist as "an artist who  
> is professionally unrecognized but stylistically evolved." Artists  
> from all disciplinary and cultural backgrounds are encouraged to  
> apply. No experience with handmade paper is required. Applications  
> will not be accepted from students enrolled in undergraduate or  
> graduate degree programs during the program year (July 2007 - June  
> 2008). Applicants must be New York State residents and must be U.S.  
> citizens or permanent residents of the U.S.

> ABOUT DIEU DONNÉ PAPERMILL
> Fund For The Mill - We're relocating to 315 West 36th Street!
> Currently, Dieu Donné is housed in a 5,000 square foot ground-floor  
> facility in the SoHo district of New York City. In June 2007, Dieu  
> Donné will relocate to 315 West 36th Street in the Fashion District  
> where we will expand our exhibition space, showroom, fully equipped  
> papermaking studio, and archive of art. This 7,000 square foot  
> ground-floor storefront will increase accessibility while offering  
> an expanded artist workspace and new opportunities for a  
> neighborhood in the midst of revitalization. Our relocation will  
> near double our current studio space, allowing us to accommodate  
> multiple large-scale artistic and educational projects.
>
> Mission
> Founded in 1976, Dieu Donné Papermill is a non-profit artist  
> workspace dedicated to the creation, promotion, and preservation of  
> contemporary art in the hand papermaking process. In support of  
> this mission, Dieu Donné collaborates with artists and partners  
> with the professional visual arts community.
>
> History
> Dieu Donné Papermill proudly celebrated our 30th anniversary in  
> 2006. Dieu Donné continues to reinvent and adapt the age-old  
> techniques of hand papermaking for contemporary art making. Our  
> work with artists Chuck Close, Robert Cottingham, April Gornik,  
> Jane Hammond, Jim Hodges, Glenn Ligon, and Richard Tuttle, among  
> many others, set a standard of excellence in the hand papermaking  
> medium.
