The Torpedo Factory Art Center is pleased to announce the Visiting Artists who will be in residence during June, July and August 2012. Now in its third year, the goal of the Visiting Artist Program is to expose The Torpedo Factory Art Center’s visitors and patrons to a rotating group of accomplished artists and provide a unique opportunity to interact, explore and exchange ideas. The Visiting Artists will be working in studios throughout the 76,000 square-foot art center and will be actively involved in art enrichment events throughout the summer months in which they will demonstrate and discuss their work.

Sixteen artists have been selected from forty-five applicants. The program will run from June through August 2012; Visiting Artists will be at the Torpedo Factory Art Center for one or two months.

The selection of Visiting Artists is a highly competitive process. Applicants describe the work they propose to do during the residency, and provide images of related work already completed as evidence of their accomplishments and promise. An outside juror evaluates the submissions and selects the finalists.

Paula Amt – a painter and the owner of gallery plan b and Framesmith DC, both in Washington, DC – was the juror this year. Amt studied studio art and art history in Virginia and Paris. She has been active in the DC art scene since 1998.
