Associated Residency Program
Since 2001, KHN has hosted more than 50 working artists each year. Each has found privacy in which to create along with ample opportunities to interact with fellow residents in the vibrant rural town of Nebraska City, Nebraska. KHN's facilities house up to five residents at a time, generally in the mix of two visual artists, two writers, and one composer. Residency awards are 2 to 8 weeks in length. Each awardee receives a $175 stipend per week, free housing, and a private studio.
