Vision Quest Photo Workshops announces a new yearly grant of a one-week photographic artist’s residency. For mid-career fine-art photographers looking for a retreat-like experience to work on their art, reflect on their artistic direction, make new photographs, plan new career paths, or to simply have time away from work/family/life pressure and stress.

Photographers can use this time to move their art or career forward or to reflect on where they are and where they are headed.

Stay in a very private retreat in the woods along the banks of a pristine sand-bottom river, located near Grantsburg, Wisconsin (about an hour drive from the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul). The residency will include a private consultation, in person or via phone, with Vision Quest Photo Workshops founder and director Douglas Beasley before the week begins and after it’s conclusion.

To apply: Submit 12 images, artist statement, and statement of purpose
Residency Dates: Flexible to recipient’s schedule
Results Announced: August 15, 2011
Juror: Douglas Beasley and guest juror
