Artist Membership

Artists who have participated in our programming, courses, performance intensives, and thematic residencies are invited to become a member of Creative Body Institute. Members join CBI to nourish and support individual praxis as well as the shared praxis of our entire creative community.

By becoming a CBI member, you extend the time-space relation of our initial encounter to your daily life. You become part of our artistically rigorous, intentional community and share in our mission to foster, support, and generate resource for embodied knowledge exchange, ephemeral arts, and durational practices.

At CBI, we are always creating new timespace relations to enable radical creative exchanges. Members receive creative prompts, durational exercises, and 1:1 mentoring all year long. The member portal additionally allows you to focus on your creative practice within a constructive community of peer artists who are tired of individualism and competition. Members acknowledge oppressive systems and seek out new ways of being in relation, with and for all bodies (human and more-than-human).

Artist members also take part in shaping the institute’s exhibitions, group shows, annual programming, conferences, publications, and events. Whether you are an emerging, mid-career, or professional artist, you will find stimulating experiences and community as part of Creative Body Institute, which are sure to augment your creative practices and artistic research.

Artist membership applications are reviewed quarterly throughout the year. For further information regarding applying for membership, please read the Membership Guidelines and Download the Application (pdf file).
