SUMMARY:Call for Teen Artists! BAC + ENU Builds Teen Arts Residency 2026-2027 - Application Open
DESCRIPTION:Call for Teen Artists!\nOur applications are open for the BAC & ENU Builds 2026-27 Teen Arts Residency open to rising high school juniors and seniors in the NY-NJ-CT tri-state area.\n\n\nBethany Arts Community (BAC) offers residencies to emerging and established artists for the development of both new works and works-in-progress. In partnership with ENU Builds\, we identified a need across our communities to build a residency for the most emerging artists: high school artists of all mediums. \nENUBuilds and the Bethany Arts Community are thrilled to be hosting the 4th Annual Teen Arts Residency. The 1st Teen Arts Residency in February 2024 welcomed seven local students to Bethany for three days. Over the course of three days\, students had time and space to work on their craft\, collaborate with one another\, and learn from a mentor. From this original cohort\, our Annual Teen Arts Residency continues to grow. Currently\, the program is split up over two 4-day portions of the residency over the academic year\, taking on up to seven high school Juniors and Seniors. \nThe 4th Annual Teen Arts Residency will take place in both Fall 2026 and Spring 2027. One cohort will be selected to participate in both the Fall and Spring portions of the residency. During the Fall portion of the residency\, artists will be encouraged to explore their discipline\, while brainstorming and settling on a project idea. During the Spring portion of the residency\, students will continue to work on and eventually share their project(s). \n\nIn applying\, students must be able to commit to attending both portions of the residency. \nELIGIBILITY: This residency is open only to rising high school juniors and seniors (Class of 2027 & 2028) in the NY\, NJ\, CT tri-state area.  \nArtists are provided room & board and a studio conducive to their artistic medium and/or project. \nThere is no cost to apply or to participate.  \nResidency Dates: November 5-8\, 2026 & March 11-14\, 2027\nApplication Open: January 22\, 2026\nApplication Due: May 26\, 2026 by 11:59PM EST\nNotifications: June 16\, 2026 \nTo check out our grounds and more\, visit our website at www.bethanyarts.org.  \nIf you have questions or concerns about accommodations for your artistic practice\, please email: submit@bethanyarts.org. \nClick Here to Apply!

SUMMARY:Studio Artist Spotlight - Kevin Byrd
DESCRIPTION:Studio Artist Spotlight: Kevin Byrd\nMarch 18 – May 1\, 2026\nBethany Arts Community is spotlighting our studio artists for two-month periods\, located in our first floor studio artist hallway entry (next to the performance space). Studio Artists are invited to curate and show their works throughout the year. \nKevin Byrd is a New York-based abstract expressionist artist whose work explores the emotional and social fabric of contemporary life through bold colors\, layered forms\, and dynamic compositions. His creative journey began during his time in the armed forces\, where he sketched fellow soldiers as a way to process and document his experience. Art became his passion and remained with him throughout his life. \nFollowing his military service\, Byrd served as a Correction Officer\, a role that deepened his understanding of human behavior and the complexities of society. He continued to nurture his interest in the human condition by pursuing higher education\, earning a degree in Behavioral Sciences. In 2024\, he completed his Master’s degree from SUNY New Paltz\, further grounding his artistic practice in both academic and lived experience. \nByrd’s work is influenced by the energy and innovation of artists like Jackson Pollock\, Julie Mehretu\, and Jacob Lawrence. Drawing inspiration from their ability to blend abstraction with narrative\, Byrd creates paintings that speak to themes of resilience\, identity\, and transformation. He uses vibrant paint\, fluid forms\, and symbolic layering to construct visual stories that reflect both personal introspection and broader social commentary. \nKevin Byrd continues to expand his artistic footprint through exhibitions\, public art projects\, and community engagement. His work not only reflects his own journey but also amplifies the voices and experiences of the people around him\, blending passion\, purpose\, and paint into every canvas. \nIn addition to painting\, Byrd is dedicated to mentoring young artists and advocating for the role of creative expression in mental wellness and community healing. Whether through workshops\, artist talks\, or local collaborations\, he remains committed to using art as a transformative force. With each new body of work\, Byrd pushes the boundaries of abstraction while staying rooted in stories and experiences that shape our shared human world. \nOn Bethany…\nMy art studio at Bethany Arts Community became more than just a workplace—it became a sanctuary. The BAC represents faith\, community\, and inspiration. Within those walls\, I discovered room to grow not only as an artist but as a person. It provided a place where creativity could breathe and ideas could transform into meaningful expressions. The atmosphere carries peace and encouragement that continually fuels my passion to create. The BAC means opportunity\, connection\, and spiritual grounding\, reminding me that art is not simply displayed—it is experienced\, shared\, and used to uplift others through purpose.
