Fee Details

The actual cost of each residency is $5,000 per month, which includes a semi-private studio, private bedroom, full use of our facilities, visiting artist program, studio visits, insurance, and staff support. In an effort to serve and support emerging artists, we attempt to subsidize residencies for all individual artists who do not have other forms of support. Thanks to the generous support of donors and grants, the artist’s contribution for the winter residency program is $900 per a 4-week period.

We also offer need-based financial assistance to artists-in-residence for whom it would be impossible to attend without financial support. Financial need is self-reported by artists in their applications. We ask that artists who are in a position to fully contribute towards the residency fee please do so.

Rock Street Artist Residency

Marquette , MI, United States

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.

Essere Writer & Artist Residency

Le Piazze, Cetona , SI, Italy

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.

Additional Eligibility Information

CIAR accepts visual artists at all stages of their career. We encourage applicants who will benefit from nature as a tool in their creative process, especially those who will use the unique natural environment of Cuttyhunk Island as their studios. Our facilities are conducive to artists with a portable studio practice, an ability to work on projects with easy set-up and break-down methods. Artists may also set up temporary work spaces on our large wraparound, covered porch overlooking Vineyard Sound. We also see this time as a way for artists to wander, think, and sketch. The beautiful nature trails and quiet beaches offer a sense of escape from our busy lives. 

Examples of work methods supported by our facilities:

  • drawing
  • painting
  • collage
  • small sculpture projects (not needing special tools or shop space)
  • photography
  • video
