Eligibility

The Anderson Center in Red Wing, MN invites early-career artists of any discipline living in Minnesota or one of the five boroughs of New York City to apply to the organization’s Jerome Emerging Artist Residency Program for concentrated, uninterrupted creative time to advance their personal artistic goals. Degree-seeking students at the time of application, or during the grant period, are not eligible for a residency (including K-12, college, graduate or post graduate studies). Age is not a factor in determining emerging artist status. Artists of all disciplines are eligible and are encouraged to apply. Artists must currently be legal residents of Minnesota or one of the five boroughs of New York City and have been residents for at least one year prior to the submission of an application.

Program Description

The Jerome Emerging Artist Residency Program aims to meet the specific needs of emerging artists while welcoming them into a supportive and inspiring residency environment that empowers them to take risks, embrace challenges, and utilize unconventional approaches to problem-solving. Thanks to support from the Jerome Foundation, selected emerging artists receive $625/week in honoraria, plus documentation support, art-making resources, facilitation of community connections, lodging & studio space, a travel stipend, groceries, and chef-prepared communal dinners. The program is an ideal fit for early-career artists whose work reveals a significant potential for cultural and community impact, is technically accomplished, and engages diverse communities. A goal of the program is to advance the practice of early-career artists that are uncompromising in their approach to creation and production, and whose work pushes boundaries and explores new creative territories.
