Center for the Arts Evergreen’s (CAE’s) Artist-in-Residence Program offers the opportunity for emerging and established artists to foster creativity and community engagement while developing both new works and works-in-progress. CAE welcomes artists working across disciplines and media, including visual artists, sculptors, musicians, writers, filmmakers, and more. All artist mediums are encouraged to apply. Residents will be provided housing, private studio space, and teaching and sales opportunities in Evergreen, Colorado, a vibrant community filled with the arts in the foothills of metro Denver. Twelve-week residencies are offered three times each year. As part of a residency, we ask each artist to develop and facilitate a community program related to their residency plan. This provides artists the opportunity to engage with the local community in Evergreen and the suburban and rural towns beyond.

The Residency runs for three 12-week sessions, and the artist must specify their preferred 12-week session in the application:

• February 5-April 26, 2024
• May 20-August 9, 2024
• September 2-November 22, 2024

Artist is provided housing, a private studio conducive to artists’ medium and/or project with 24-hour secure access, paid teaching/workshop opportunities, space to exhibit their artwork, artist page on the CAE website, and a $250 stipend per month upon completion of the residency ($750). Artist is responsible for transportation to and from CAE.

An art residency provides the technical conditions, time, and space to develop ideas and try new approaches. It is a moment that promotes connection between artists from different backgrounds and consequently the exchange of knowledge and experiences.

Aviário Studio Art Residency aims to promote exploration and production in the Visual Arts. Artists can develop projects using a medium or a combination of technologies. Aviário Studio is an artist-run space with workshops equipped to develop projects on Printmaking, Ceramics, Wood, Metal, Sculpture, Installation, Drawing, Painting, Photography and Bookbinding.

The program is customized according to the participating artist’s goals regarding duration, outcome and focus.  We offer the conditions to test possibilities and materialize ideas. On one hand, it can be a moment of transition, more connected to experimentation and research; on the other hand, it can be the point of consolidation of a project translated into the production of a new body of work.

The mission of Rock Street Artist Residency (RSAR) is to provide a unique space for artists to immerse themselves in their creative process, set against the inspiring backdrop of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Located in Marquette, RSAR fosters creativity and innovation by offering a transformative environment where the natural beauty of the Upper Peninsula meets the vibrant energy of Marquette’s urban community. Surrounded by the pristine shores of Lake Superior, dense forests, and dramatic rocky outcrops, RSAR also enjoys the cultural richness of Marquette, which boasts a dynamic arts scene, local history, and a deep spirit of artistic expression.

Housed in a historic Victorian home built in 1887—the first farm on Rock Street—RSAR carries a unique legacy. Originally a farm and smokehouse that supplied fresh eggs, smoked fish, and poultry to the steamships visiting Marquette Harbor, the residence blends historical charm with contemporary artistic inspiration. Artists at RSAR enjoy a peaceful, distraction-free setting with fully equipped studio spaces, gourmet meals, and an abundance of natural inspiration. The residency is just two blocks from the world’s largest freshwater lake, Lake Superior.

Our program hosts two artists and/or writers per session, with residencies available for two- and three-week terms. RSAR supports artists working across all mediums and genres, offering a self-motivated environment for focused creative exploration.

These residencies have public-facing components that could be a workshop, a temporary installation, a performance, or another type of community engagement at some point during the residency. Stipends and funds for these vary and are project-specific. These happen throughout the year. If you have an idea for In the Making, indicate so on your application with a brief description, and if selected, we’ll follow up to plan it in more detail.

•  
  • COST: There is no fee charged for this residency.
  • Stipend/Honorarium: Dependent on scope of project and funding.
  • Time of year: Varies and depends on project. Typically between August-June.
  • Length: 1-4 weeks.
  • Applicants may come from all over the world.

Essere Residency, newly founded in 2023, is an annual, self-directed program designed to encourage the creative and personal growth of writers, artists and creatives of all disciplines at any stage of their career or personal self-expression.

The residency offers a supportive space to cultivate the inner state of being which yields authentic productivity. Each person’s unique creative process is fostered within the context of a vibrant international community, in the tranquility and historic richness of rural Tuscany.

Whether you need dedicated time to bring a project to completion, or space to envision something totally new, this two-week residency delivers the right amount of structure, support and solitude.  

Days are free to explore your creative vision and share perspectives with artists of different ages and cultures from all over the world. Evenings we come together  for inspiring talks by the Artists in Residence on topics of relevance to all, such as Mindset & the Successful Artist, Coaxing the Intuitive Muse, and Authentic Marketing.  These talks are followed by a delicious 3-course dinner and wine prepared by our local chef.

Individual mentorship in specific disciplines is available by appointment with the AiRs and residency Director, Jennie Lee, will be available for personal coaching support throughout your time in residency.
