Eligibility

Under-represented, emerging and mid-career artists working across all disciplines are encouraged to apply

Number of Participants

We typically select three individual artists for each residency season; however, we are open to hosting collectives and collaboratives, so long as the artists are comfortable sharing a relatively small workspace. The group must be mindful of the other artists working in the shared studio.
