Talk:Artist residency

Hi

The references are not notable for a global encyclopedia. They're all in the USA and 3 are in Texas, which is not a world centre for art. Of the links listed:

ArtPace in SanAntonio, TX - No wikipedia entry for the institution The Core Program in Houston, TX - One paragraph wikipedia entry for the institution The Chinati Foundation in Marfa, TX - No wikipedia entry for the institution Skowhegan in Skowhegan, ME - Wikipedia entry marked as an advertisement

These are not notable programmes, and so I have deleted them. Feel free to replace these links with world notable programmes. StopItTidyUp 20:35, 7 September 2006 (UTC)


 * The list just needed to be expanded, not deleted. Tag it for not having a global perspective if you have a problem with it.  These are all well known, respected programs, and I wish I had time to document press coverage, but I don't.  Not having a wikipedia entry doesn't mean something doesn't meet notability requirements.  Art entries on wikipedia in general are VERY sparse anyway.  And residencies are mostly non-profit programs offering great resources to artists.  I listed the reputable programs that I know living in Texas and being an art professional, hoping that others would list good residencies they know and it would become a really nice resource for artists.

Merge articles
Due to almost total subject overlap, artist in residence should be merged with artist residency. —  AjaxSmack   14:10, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree, the terminology artist in residence is more appropriate for a search for a specific artist. Inquiries about the subject of artist residency programs would be more easily accessed using these terms. —  C3P   17:42, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
