Keyhole Workspace Artist-in-Residence Program
The Keyhole Workspace Artist-in-Residence Program at the Ely Center of Contemporary Art is for artists living in New Haven and the Greater New Haven Area. This is a studio only residency and we are unable to offer housing at this time.
There are 2 cohorts (spring and fall) held each year. Each cohort is made up of 3 artists. Each artist is given their own studio space and a small monetary stipend to go towards material costs.
Throughout the 4 months of the residency art professionals (curators, writers, critics etc) visit and offer feedback. These meetings are casual and include a sit down family style meal.
Each artist must agree to spend 15 hours a week in their studio, host a public facing community program, and make themselves available for events such as Open Studio, gallery receptions etc. Each cohort includes one Open Studio opportunity for the public meet the artists, share their process and network.
