Casey Droege Cultural Productions (CDCP) in partnership with Headwater Media is pleased to host a call for applications for the next two rounds of Pedantic Arts Residency. The summer session of Pedantic will run June 8 through July 6, 2024. The winter session will run January 11 through February 8, 2025.

Pedantic is an arts residency that brings together an artist, a curator, and a writer under one roof for a collaborative arts experience. It is a unique invitation to open greater and more cross-disciplinary dialogue within the arts by re-embracing the significant impact that education, study, and structured contemplation can have on artistic output. It is focused on fostering artistic connections rather than production.

CDCP is seeking applicants with practices in either visual art, curating, or arts and culture writing. Individuals working across multiple practices are welcome, though we request you identify one field you are most keen to engage with while participating. Applicants must be non-Pittsburgh residents* and must be available to live in Pittsburgh at the Pedantic apartment for the duration of the program dates.

We’re seeking art that creates a dialogue around democracy as a whole and the current political climate, especially in a year when we have local/municipal elections. We want to explore how democracy impacts censorship, reproductive justice and abortion access, workers' rights, and economic justice; and, most importantly, what a healthy democracy should look like. Accepted artworks will be included in a two-part reception and exhibition running September–October 2023.
