Eligibility

This program serves Minnesota-based BIPOC practicing artists at all stages in their careers working in all mediums.

Number of Participants

Residencies can be solo, cohort, or family unit residencies. The cohort model has two options: 1) you can apply in tandem with another BIPOC artist that you would like to be in residency with at the same time (you will both apply together in the application so your application is received as one); or 2) you can apply without having a specific cohort collaborator in mind, but are still interested in being in residence at the same time as another BIPOC artist in residence. In either case, the stipend amount will be given to both artists, and we will host one artist in the St. Mane Theatre lodging, and the other artist in the Art Loft lodging. This includes spouses/partners applying for the cohort model.

Program Description

Lanesboro Arts invites Black, Indigenous, Persons of Color (BIPOC) artists in Minnesota to apply for the Lanesboro Arts BIPOC Artist Residency Program. This personally tailored residency program offers the opportunity for support and open access to Lanesboro Arts and Lanesboro Area, facilities, personnel, and natural environment. The artist is welcome to use studio space for art if desired, but it is not required. As such, there is no output or product required for this residency. However, there is one community share-back opportunity required for this residency, which could be a community workshop, school visit, small gathering, or blog post. This will be arranged with LA staff once selected.
