Private studios and/or live-work spaces will be designated for artist-in-residence use only.

Program Description

A StudioWorks residency provides a unique experience for an artist to create work within a public context and play an active role in a creative community. Eastport, Maine is located within an ‘artsipelago’ of communities along the international border between the province of New Brunswick, Canada and the state of Maine, USA. The StudioWorks program mission, supported by national awards from ARTPLACE, is to place the arts in the center of the community, utilizing the arts and artists to foster, engage, and create a vital and vibrant downtown.  
 Applications to StudioWorks are juried by a panel that may include a StudioWorks alumni/ae, a professional artist or curator, community member, and StudioWorks/TIMA staff/board. Proposals are reviewed on the basis of the strength of work samples submitted and the written proposal. Artists who do not include a description of community engagement in their proposal will not be considered for a residency.
