Eligibility

A residency is an important creative interlude from the demands of everyday life, and allows artists, scholars, writers and performers time to recharge and develop their work with a clear mind. A residency can be a period of critical creative growth, from which both the resident and the public can benefit. At the Fiore Art Center, we hope to cultivate the cross-pollination of different creative disciplines— farming and gardening, the visual arts, writing, performance and research— all weaving together to inform the continually evolving dialogue between human and environment.
