AiRKlaustrid. AiR Program. A Guide to 20 Top Artist Residencies and Retreats Across the United States. The path to a successful art career can be a twisting one, but one commonly traveled route is the artist residency. There are hundreds of residencies out there, ranging from highly prestigious programs that are invitation-only — like those of Artpace, the Walker Art Center, or UCLA’s Hammer Museum, all of which mainly invite established artists to create fully funded projects — to more open, or even experimental, retreats. Not all residencies are created equal, and while some may help you get a leg up in the art world, you may still have to pay for the opportunity. Programs can be grouped several ways: Some are fully funded without fees; some are partially funded with fees; some offer stipends/awards; still others are project/work based. There is even a thriving "alternative" category (check out Part 2 of this series where we’ll look at some of the funkier options out there).
Omaha might not be an internationally recognized arts destination (yet!) [Fine Print]: $40 application fee. A Guide to 20 Adventurous, Offbeat, Or Otherwise Outrageous Artist Residencies. In our last feature, we compiled a list of 20 notable and prestigious artist residencies. Yet while researching that piece we found so many others worth noting for their sheer strageness that we put together another list, this one to capture what we call the "alternative" category of artist residency.
From an expedition to the North Pole to a residency in a local Laundromat, these weird and wonderful residency programs offer experiences you just can’t get anywhere else. Seriously. In addition to the unorthodox and specialized programs on this list, we'd also like to give a shout out to a few programs that, while undoubtedly bizarre, are not currently accepting applications, including residencies at the Facebook headquarters, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), New York City’s Department of Sanitation, and the now-defunct NASA AIR artist program.
Andrea Zittel’s Indianapolis Island Archie Bray Foundation The Arctic Circle Art Farm Brooklyn Artists Gym Single Parent Residency. ABOUT. My failed attempt at an artist residency in Iceland. I generally subscribe to the stereotype that saying you’re a writer is a roundabout way of saying you’re not gainfully employed. By that token, I’ll call myself a writer.
I’ve been living in Reykjavik for about two months now, an experiment with taking residence in a city fueled by creative energy. At times it seems as if nine of every ten Icelanders is writing a book of poetry or playing in a band or making paintings out of fruit dyes and candle wax. Last week I met a legitimate 9-to-5 drummer. That’s his job; it’s what he does. I’ve visited co-working units here where freelance whatever-ists rent desk space to focus on graphic design projects or photography. All of these people seem to have found a way to diligently throw themselves into passions that, in most industrial societies, would be considered hobbies. The N1 Residency takes place in one of Iceland’s chain of 115 N1 gas stations. Refueling opportunities I tried to see the lack of internet as some sort of fortuitous gift.

This is an exciting opportunity for an illustrator/artist to get involved in the daily happenings at the Denver Botanic Gardens. The resident would document the day-to-day progress and changes in the Rocky Mountain plant world translating the botanic gardens’ purpose as a place of preservation, conservation, education and diversity into images or works which bring others enjoyment and a deeper understanding of the environment some may never visit. The works completed under this residency contribute to the public understanding and appreciation of our collections and the broader environment we care for and offer an opportunity to see our activities through the eyes of the contributing residents.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: End of February / SELECTION: Early March EXPECTATIONS The resident is expected to contribute to the established priorities of Denver Botanic Gardens, negotiated and tailored to the resident’s own personal interests. 1. 2.
