* '''To enable individual artists and makers''' to realize their project through a focused, two-month artist residency at Fat Cat Fab Lab. FCFL will provide the artist our 'standard + storage' membership free for two months. This includes free access to the FCFL makerspace, tools, community, and free classes for our advanced tools (a $75 value each), along with the opportunity and challenge for artists to actively share and teach what they’ve gained during their residency. |
|||
* '''To continue FCFL’s mission''' of teaching and skill sharing by having the artist/maker explain their work and techniques in a short presentation. We love work that engages the community, increases public awareness of FCFL, enhances our space, or increases the breadth of classes & workshops we offer (which you could get paid to teach!). |
