#ResidenciesConnect: Artist Residency Wellness: Caring for Artists

Event Date and Time
March 19, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm ET

Virtual Event

Residencies are places of growth, experimentation, and connection—but they can also bring challenges around balance, care, and expectations. In this open conversation, residency managers discuss support for the well-being of visiting artists and the staff who care for them. The session will unearth practical strategies residencies are using to cultivate healthy, sustainable residency environments and tools for responding in moments of crisis.
