Associated Artists of Pittsburgh and Bunker Projects are  partnering on a new arts-writing residency launching Dec 28th.

Art Writers are a critical asset to our creative communities, particularly when they are embedded into emerging and independent spaces. The AAP x Bunker Arts-Writing Residency serves as a research and writing period for the resident art writer. We have designed the schedule to include casual connection oriented social events, a professional artist talk with office cafe hour sessions, an AAP studio visit calendar and a finished written article for Bunker Project’s web magazine.

The AAP x Bunker Arts Writing Residency will create space and time to incubate art writers to create new works based on the new connections, conversations, and local engagement they experience while in residency. For the inaugural program, AAP and Bunker are excited to host artist, curator and writer, Tina Dillman.
