Associated Residency Program
Our Artist-in-Residence Program offers professional artists the opportunity to develop their practice within an inclusive studio environment while collaborating alongside adults with disabilities. Artists of Opportunity is the art programming of Opportunity Resources Inc. – a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in individuals with disabilities. Artists receive a $200 weekly stipend, dedicated workspace, access to community 2D and ceramic studios, newsletter and social media feature, and opportunity to display/sell work in our gallery/retail space. Artists are expected to teach at least one weekly workshop during their residency in their medium. Workshops will be attended by both community members and Opportunity Resources clients with various disabilities. An ORI art staff will be present to assist with accommodations; however universal design is encouraged when planning your workshops.
Residencies will be active August 2026- June 2027. Applications will be accepted through May 2026.
