Artist Coaching Residency

Afidnes, Greece

Expand your artistic practice, develop your talents and your full artistic potential!

 

Come and enjoy a concentrated work period in a quiet rural area north of Athens, Greece to research and expand your artistic practice. The IRIS Artist Coaching Residency offers you a unique opportunity to develop your talents and explore new trails in your artistic expression. With years of experience in artistic talent development, we will support your development to your full artistic potential. These coaching residencies will offer you the time, space and support you need to make major transformations in your artistic development.

The IRIS Artist Coaching Residencies are open to beginning and established artists, students and creatives of all ages and backgrounds. The residency is situated in the private home of artist Annette Luycx, a villa in the midst of olive groves and vineyards near the village of Afidnes, at a 45 minute drive from the center of Athens, and a 5 minute drive from the local train station that brings you to Athens, where museums and galleries give plenty of new inspiration for your artistic work. The natural atmosphere of peace and silence give ample opportunity for concentrated work; an ideal environment for self-reflection and artistic growth. Artists have their own private en suite air-conditioned room and shared studio space. 

A stay at the IRIS Artist Residency is an especially rewarding experience that offers artists a clearing of the lens!

Nocefresca Artist Residency

Milis, OR, Italy

Nocefresca is a residency that brings together artists, designers, writers and creative nomads from around the world. Our objective is for artists to focus on their projects while experiencing the inspiring environment of Sardinia island, Italy, rich in nature, history and culture.

As a Nocefresca resident, you will be encouraged to self-direct your research with curatorial assistance, initiate new projects and explore original ways of working. Together with you, there will be other artists constituting a vibrant small community of different ages and geographical origins.



In this way, artists will have access to the experiences and activities that best support their artistic growth. With Nocefresca, participants can find professional support for the development of their projects regardless of the outcome, even in the delicate initial phase when any result is still uncertain.

The residency is primarily self-directed and, as an artist, you are expected to be self-sufficient in your practice. However, Nocefresca organizes some activities to help you fuel your artistic process:

- Presentation of each one's practice to the group

- Individual meetings with the curator for assistance and feedback

- Opportunity to propose site-specific projects, talks and workshops

- Final open-studio event, open to the public

- Outdoor excursions and explorations, screening of films, visiting artists and social activities with the local community are extra activities that can happen spontaneously

Good Hart Artist Residency

Harbor Springs, MI, United States

The Good Hart Artist Residency offers 10-21 day residency stays to visual artists, writers, and composers at any stage of their career. Each artist is housed in a private residence with a detached studio and provided with a $500.00 stipend, a kitchen stocked with basic foods, a few home-cooked meals from local hosts, and a quiet setting along the shores of Lake Michigan. Tucked into the woods along the “Tunnel of Trees,” a Scenic Heritage Route, residents can walk into the village of Good Hart, enjoy Lake Michigan and the nearby sand dunes, and explore Northern Michigan’s inland lakes and wetlands. The Good Hart Artist residency generally hosts one resident at a time, offering each artist the time, space, and quiet to focus and create. 

Community is central to the mission of the Good Hart Artist Residency. Open Studio Saturdays offer visual artists an opportunity to share their work with local residents for one Saturday during their stay, and the annual Harbor Springs Festival of the Book connects resident writers to both local and literary communities. Each artist collaborates with a local nonprofit organization during their stay to lead an educational event, workshop, or exhibition. Please visit our local partnerships page for additional information about these collaborations.

Sally and Don Lucas Artists Program (LAP)

Sally and Don Lucas Artists Program (LAP)

Saratoga, CA, United States

Established in 1939, Montalvo Arts Center is home to the third oldest residency program in the United States. In 2004, Montalvo recommitted to its support of artists and opened a new, state-of-the-art facility, relaunching as the Sally and Don Lucas Artists Residency Program. The residency is dedicated to providing artists with a flexible and expansive space in which to create, encouraging the creative process, risk taking, collaboration, and cross-disciplinary investigation of contemporary issues. The LAP is a hybrid model that supports uninterrupted time to develop new work, while offering opportunities to share ideas and projects through public programming and partnerships. 

Since its inception, the program’s curatorial team has worked to develop a robust commissioning program for Montalvo and the greater Bay Area. These commissions encourage the development of ambitious new work, and provide opportunities to reinvest in and amplify the voices of LAP artists beyond their time spent in residency. 

We believe in the power of artists’ work, ideas, and processes to catalyze important conversations that address contemporary issues. We value diversity, equity, access, and inclusion, and are committed to supporting a broad mix of artistic voices, fostering a shared sense of community and belonging. We strive to produce innovative programming that connects LAP artists with the Bay Area and beyond.

Additional Eligibility Information

The LAP welcomes over eighty artists a year from around the world to our facilities. LAP Fellows are selected through a competitive two-tier juried nomination process. The LAP relies on an international rotating network of over 500 nominators who are invited to nominate up to three artists of exceptional merit. Each artist is invited to submit a full dossier on their work, which is reviewed by a jury of experts in each discipline. Approximately 30 artists per discipline are selected every three years.

Once selected, LAP Fellows have three years to complete their three month residency. LAP supports artists in constructing their own residency schedule to best serve their individual practice with a minimum of 2 weeks per stay. LAP artists have the unique opportunity to bring collaborators with them into residence.

We also host creative teams and support them to incubate and develop new work and projects. Through the generous support of the Andy Warhol Foundation, the LAP is currently working on a new initiative with select artists to assemble their own team of creative contributors. These cohorts will take over the entire residency for the sole purpose of embarking on an open-ended thematic investigation, an artistically driven think tank.

Additional Eligibility Information

Selected residents will be offered one of two types of residency. The type of residency offered will be determined by the Admissions Panel and Final Selection Committee during the admissions process. All residencies include living space in PlySpace and studio space.

PlySpace Residents will be offered living quarters, studio amenities, and will be paired with a community collaborator based on their personal and collaborative project proposals and interests. Residents are expected to complete a public talk about their work and complete a project in partnership with their Community Collaborator. Resident Artists will have full access to the PlySpace studio spaces as well as limited access to the School of Art (SOA) facilities at Ball State University. They will receive a $500 travel stipend and a $500 food stipend for their residency period, between 4 and 12 weeks.

PlySpace Resident Fellows will be offered living quarters, studio amenities, and will be paired with the Ball State University School of Art as their community collaborator. Resident Fellows are expected to conduct multiple public programs connected to their practice through their partnership with the SOA. Resident Fellows will have access to the SOA facilities necessary to complete their projects as well as the PlySpace studio spaces. Resident Fellows will receive a $1000 stipend provided by PlySpace to be used for travel and living expenses and up to $2000 in funding toward their proposed collaborative project and supplies. Resident Fellows must plan a 9 to 12 week residency stay.

Three individual or collective applicants will be accepted for each residency term (one PlySpace Resident Fellow and two PlySpace Residents).

___

PlySpace welcomes both emerging and established artists and creatives from a variety of disciplines. Applicants should be dedicated practitioners in their field and able to work safely and independently for the entire residency period to which they are assigned. Applicants should not be enrolled in a degree-granting program at the time of application and must be over 21 years of age. In order to expand and complement the creative resources available within the city of Muncie, Indiana, admission preference will be given to applicants who live and work outside of Delaware County, Indiana. Applicants can submit one application per term.

PlySpace encourages artists and creatives of all backgrounds to apply for admission. PlySpace does not discriminate in its programs and activities against anyone on the basis of race, creed, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, sexual orientation, marital status, ancestry, disability, HIV status, or veteran status.

Collective Teams

Collective teams of 2-3 individuals can be accommodated and are encouraged to apply. Please submit a combined application and portfolio detailing work that you have produced as a team. PlySpace can admit one collective group for any single residency term. If you require anything other than separate living space and shared studio space, you should indicate this in your proposal. We will assume that collaborative groups will need separate spaces for living. Unfortunately, we can only offer one studio space per application, so collective groups will need to share a single studio. 

International Applicants

International applicants are welcome to apply; however, please be aware that all programming is conducted in English and will not have a translator. Applicants must be able to communicate in English with enough fluency to complete their community collaborative projects. International applicants must be able to make their own travel plans to and from Muncie, Indiana, and obtain all necessary Visas and travel documentation as required by their home country and the U.S. The $500 travel stipend is not available for travel outside of the U.S. PlySpace cannot waive application fees for international applicants and does not have additional funding to provide international applicants outside of the stipend amounts listed above.

Applicants with Disabilities or Service Animals

Applicants with disabilities should contact PlySpace at hello@plyspace.org to discuss accommodation options prior to submitting an application.

The residency is currently located in the Emily Kimbrough District of Muncie, IN near downtown. Living and dining spaces are communal with private bedrooms. Studio spaces are private and located in a nearby community center. 

The residency is comprised of one main building that houses the gallery, administrative offices, and communal artist living space. Residents regularly travel between the community center, Ball State University, and the downtown Muncie area for meals, to use facilities, or participate in workshops, performances, or other activities during the session.

While the main floor of the building is wheelchair accessible, the communal living space is located on the second floor that is only accessible by stairs. 

There is a staff person “on-call” at all times to provide assistance to residents including shuttles around campus, assistance with basic navigation, and emergency assistance if necessary. 

The majority of our facilities are ground-floor accessible. The majority of the common areas including our kitchen, main gallery, laundry room, and administrative offices are wheelchair accessible.

We are prepared to produce or facilitate accommodations such as large print materials, wheelchair ramps, travel assistance, adjusted sleeping accommodations, and any other actions that our staff are reasonably able to fulfill.

Service animals can be accommodated on a case by case basis. All service animals must have up to date paperwork and a current vet check and flea treatment.

Creative Residency Program

Elizabethtown, NY, United States

Situated on 320 acres of farm and forest bordering the Hurricane Mountain Wilderness area in New York's Adirondack Mountains, Craigardan's creative residencies are open-minded and place-based by design. We welcome all proposals and encourage multi- and interdisciplinary thinking. We support ceramic, literary, visual, and performance artists, as well as farmers, chefs, activists, scholars, and researchers from the region and around the world. We strive to cultivate a dynamic that amplifies each individual’s work and activates collective creativity within the community.

All artists-in-residence receive a scholarship that subsidizes their residency. In addition, Teaching Fellowships are available for all disciplines with the belief that fostering the interaction between artists and the local public is as important as providing sheltered time to artists to further their creative practices.

We provide an intimate program, with up to 10 artists-in-residence at any one time. All residents receive housing; individual studio spaces particular to their discipline; free and open access to all public programs and classes; and a kitchen stocked with seasonal, local and organic ingredients from our farm and partner farms.

How much of the residency experience can artists with limited mobility participate?

In our current stage of campus construction we are limited in our ability to accommodate artists with mobility challenges. The artist cabins each have a single step entrance, but our main buildings are all on one level. We are located on a hilly site with few flat paths. We anticipate our new, universally designed campus to be completed in phases starting in 2023.

Please briefly describe the facilities and areas of the campus that are NOT accessible.

Much of our 320 acres is currently accessible by hiking on uneven terrain.

Offshore Artists Residency (OAR)

NANTUCKET ISLAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN AND THE ARTS  

OFFSHORE ARTIST RESIDENCY - "OAR"      The NISDA Artist Community welcomes emerging and professional artists and educators in all fields including, but not limited to, classical photography, painting, ceramics, textiles, writing, music, performance and any alternative projects committed to the creative process. NISDA is especially interested in interdisciplinary art, art in the environment and conceptual works. We welcome educators pursuing the integration of the arts and interdisciplinary projects in their classrooms. NISDA’s residency is an on-your-own, self-structured experience that provides time and your studio for personal renewal. In July & August you may arrange open studio time to work NISDA’s Long Shed Ceramics Studio at SeaView Farm, in addition to working in your Atlantic House Residency Studio or in the Nantucket landscape.

NISDA’s OAR Atlantic House is just a short mile down the road from our Historic Seaview Farm Dairy Barn and Long Shed Community Center school facilities – we welcome you to create, work and collaborate with the other Artists, the Community and enjoy our Cultural Arts Lectures and Events!

Civitella Ranieri

Umbertide, PG, Italy

Civitella Ranieri Foundation is an international residency program bringing together visual artists, writers, and composers to work independently and communally without judgment or interruption.  Every year from May to November, CRF opens the doors of its 15th-century castle in Italy to 12-15 accomplished artists for four six-week, fully-funded residency sessions. CRF offers a peaceful and welcoming sojourn during which its community deepens connections to one another and to the world.

 

Operating as an artist-in-residence program in Umbria, Italy, CRF has hosted over 1,000 Fellows and Director’s Guests from more than 100 nations since 1995, when it was founded by Ursula Corning.

 

Fellowships are awarded through a competitive nomination and jury process by a rotating group of distinguished artists, academics, and critics that ensures access to accomplished candidates from worldwide locations and backgrounds, who encompass a wide range of beliefs, orientations, and values.
