Artist Communities Alliance (ACA) is available to give presentations about topics relevant to the artist residency field.

We have presented to funders, arts councils, universities and other audiences in both live and virtual settings. These presentations have included information about trends and benchmarking data within the artist residency field, guidance for artists considering participating in residencies, overviews of residency program typologies and more. 

If you are interested in engaging with ACA in this way, please complete the following form. Note that we require a speakers fee and both ASL interpretation and captioning. We are participating in virtual events only at this time.

There are more ways to engage with ACA:

Our public discussion events, called Field Conversations, address the state of the artist residency field across past, present, and future contexts. Our Resource Library, which will launch in 2022, features resources that guide artists, artist residency staff, and other arts administrators through processes of learning, action, assessment, adjustment, and reflection. Until then, users can access ACA’s research projects and resource guides on the  Research + Resources page.
