TIME SENSITIVE *Artist Interview Workshop* *Voices in Contemporary Art (VoCA)*
VoCA’s Artist Interview Workshops aim to educate conservators, curators, archivists, and their colleagues on the methods and skills required to conduct successful artist interviews and gather knowledge essential to art preservation. This year, we will offer one workshop for arts professionals at *the Rebuild Foundation, located at **6760 S. Stony Island Ave.** in Chicago, IL on June 8-9, 2017.* The application for this program is now available online at http://www.voca.network/artist-interview-workshop-application/ <http://www.voca.network/artist-interview-workshop-application/>. The deadline to apply is* Monday, March 6, 2017*. Over the past five years, VoCA's Artist Interview Workshops have offered a collaborative environment for anyone presenting, producing, or interpreting contemporary art to reflect upon interview methods and sharpen the skills that can lead to more successful and engaged conversations with artists. In addition to exploring how the planned uses for interviews shape the dynamics of the exchange, the 2017 workshop at the Rebuild Foundation in Chicago will give special attention to interviews in social practice, community-based, and politically engaged art. This two-day workshop will be led by *Jill Sterrett*, Director of Collections at SFMOMA and VoCA Board President, and *Richard Cándida Smith*, Professor of History at UC Berkeley, whose respective experiences in museum-based interview programs and oral history produce a rigorous, instructive, and interactive agenda. These Workshops have been made possible by the continued support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, whose generosity has enabled us to offer this program tuition free. However, please be aware that participants are responsible for their own cost of travel, some meals, and hotel accommodations. Also, each workshop is limited to 25 participants, so we recommend that you do not wait to apply. Successful applicants will be notified by Monday, March 20, 2017.
