Green Box Residency: Dance

Associated Residency Program

At the foot of iconic Pikes Peak, Green Box continues to establish itself as a leading arts incubator in Colorado’s Front Range. Applications will open on September 4th and will be accepted through Friday, October 11, 2024. Only complete applications will be considered. There is no application fee.

The Green Box Artist Residency Program offers artists of national and international stature, across diverse disciplines, and at any stage in their career the opportunity to create new works while living in and engaging with the community of Green Mountain Falls.

2025 Residency Opportunities:

  • Dance Residency: 1-2 residencies between September and November 2025, utilizing the newly restored Sallie Bush Community Center in Green Mountain Falls as the primary studio space.

Other Residency Opportunities offered in 2025:

  • Art Installation Rooms: 1-2 residencies are available for artists to create immersive, interactive interior spaces. These residencies will take place before June 2025.
  • Arts Journalism Residency: A unique opportunity combining a two-week spring residency with on-site presence during the 2025 Green Box Arts Festival (June 27 - July 12, 2025). The selected artist will create feature articles in advance of the Festival, write daily blog posts reviewing Festival events, and provide pre/post context conversations during Festival events.
  • Open Project Residencies: 1-2 additional residencies to be determined based on applications received.

Deliverables will be mutually agreed upon at the time of awarding residencies. Community engagement proposals are an important part of the application and the residency, reflecting Green Box's commitment to fostering connections between artists and the local community.

Artists should note that a vehicle is necessary for living in Green Mountain Falls; they may choose to rent or bring their own. Private housing will be provided at The Shed, Green Box’s dedicated Artist housing.

Resident artists are provided with a stipend. The stipend amounts are awarded as follows:

  • Individual Artists: $9,000
  • Duo residencies: $12,000
  • Trio or larger ensemble residencies: $15,000
