Getting That Artist Residency

Learn how to find, apply to, fund and make the most of artist residencies.

This workshop takes a deep dive into the world of artist residencies, learning how to find, apply to, fund and make the most of the vast array of residencies out there, locally, nationally, and internationally. We’ll look at many types of residencies and talk about how to prepare your applications through work samples, CVs, artist statements, work plans and budgets.
