The Residency Exchange Program is offered to visiting artists on a short term (2 week – 1 month) basis. The short term opportunity is designed to facilitate an artist and their artistic practice with a designated studio space to create, explore new techniques, and produce new work in a supportive and inspiring environment. In exchange for the studio space, the artist will host workshops throughout the Residency Exchange period in lieu of paying studio rent.
Residency Exchange Studios are subject to studio availability.
More Details
Arts Warehouse offers short term residencies through the Residency Exchange Program to artists in exchange for teaching (at least) two public workshops, and allowing the public to see you in action during our business hours. If accepted, you will have 24-hour access to the studio, website presence on the Arts Warehouse website, and potential for Exhibitions at Arts Warehouse.
If you are interested in a residency/workshop exchange, complete the online application via JotForm. Before applying, we recommend that you look over our website, exhibitions past, present and current and the studios that we use for residency as it will give you an idea of what’s possible in our space; please note we can make some rearrangements to the studios. We offer a limited number of residencies each year.
