The Arrowmont Residency Program provides a variety of opportunities in the way of professional development, teaching and gallery experience and interaction with professional artists, educators and students who attend Arrowmont each year. Established in 1991, the program is designed for pre-professional, self-directed artists who are at transitional junctures in their careers.
For a more comprehensive description of the program, facilities, privileges, responsibilities and the application form, please visit:
Anderson Ranch offers an Artists’ Residency program designed to encourage the creative, intellectual and personal growth of emerging and established visual artists. Finalists are chosen on the basis of artistic merit by an independent jury of established working artists and will live and work at Anderson Ranch for a two or three month residency. Resident artists will be provided with housing, studio space, meals and certain other benefits and will be required to submit only a nominal program fee of $100.
The fourteen fall residents were unanimous in their feelings about their experience at the Ranch. “Generous”, “inspiring”, “professional”, “motivating”, “productive” and “amazing” were just a few of the words the residents used to describe their experiences.
The program is designed to allow artists to take risks and pursue new projects and ideas, free from every day pressures. Take advantage of this incredible opportunity to share in an established community of interaction, conceptual development and intense production of work. APPLY NOW!
