About: The most vital and intangible quality of any successful artist residency program is its social and cultural value. Residencies should cultivate and support community amongst artists. In line with top global benchmarks, residency programs provide studio space, resources, and professional development opportunities. Additionally, they create ongoing opportunities for artists to meet with curators, collectors, museum professionals, and others who can help advance their careers. Equally important is providing the public windows into the artistic process, and generating magnetism and excitement around these sites as central hubs of artistic production.
