The 2019 Residency Program begins in March and will run through the end of October. Residents live and work in a completely renovated chicken barn for 4 weeks and have access to an unlimited supply of acrylics, oils, watercolors and custom materials. Additionally, an educational component of the program includes such topics as frugal use of water in the studio, varnishing, best practices in studio waste management and packing and shipping ones artwork.

We celebrate another amazing year with no residency fees to the artists! This has been possible due to the friends and supporters of the Foundation. THANK YOU!

The Open Studios for these artists are on our website calendar…please save the dates!

Thank you to all who applied this year! Happy Holidays!
