art residency

An art residency is a program where artists are given the opportunity to spend time in a new environment—such as a studio, community, or location—to develop their work. Residencies often provide artists with dedicated space, resources, and time to focus creatively without external pressures. They may also include community engagement or collaboration, fostering exchange of ideas. These programs support artists’ growth, experimentation, and exposure, often culminating in exhibitions or public projects. Overall, residencies are valuable spaces for fostering artistic development and enabling connections between artists and their new environments.
