Program Description

The Access Arts residency program is relatively new (launched in 2014), though the organization has been around since 1971. At any given time, there could be up to 8 AIR in various media. Resident artists conduct classes and perform studio maintenance and community outreach tasks. In return, they are provided with studio space, use of equipment, some materials, and group and/or solo exhibition opportunities. Mainly we are seeking clay, fiber, and documentary film artists currently, but will accept applications for other media/projects.
