The Artist Certification Committee meets regularly to review the following information that is submitted by the applicant (the applicant is not expected to attend the meeting):
- Application Form (refer to website for downloadable form).
- An explanation of how the loft will be used to produce your creative product. Include your current plans and your one-to-five-year goals for producing your “art” and exhibiting/presenting/selling it to the public. Include your plans, if any, to become involved in the Poughkeepsie artist community.
- References attesting to your artistic background and current work (letters must be signed with contact information provided).
- Resume identifying artistic education and work experiences (with dates) that demonstrate your past and current involvement in an artistic field.
- Any other documentation (such as a list of exhibits, galleries, juried shows, performances, professional reviews, client lists and commissions, etc.) that supports your qualifications in your artistic field.
If potentially hazardous materials or machinery will be used in the loft, or if sound greater than ambient noise levels will be created, the applicant must demonstrate how neighbors and the public will not be adversely affected. If legitimate complaints are received, the City reserves the right to rescind the Artist Certification.
