Please note- the residency does not include living accommodations.
Art Produce is a multi-disciplinary space that includes artists studios, a community room, edible organic garden, on-site restaurant/bar, and storefront gallery - all of which are utilized for public and private events, workshops, and pop-up exhibits. Designed for community engagement experiences and social practice arts, the AiR program furthers our mission to build community and foster civic engagement through arts, education, and public culture.
Residencies are project based, intended to support development of new work or on-going works, and to expand artistic practices. Artists in any discipline and at any stage of their careers may apply. Depending upon the project and the space available artists are on site from 2-4 weeks. Residents may or may not overlap with one another, or may be offered a rotating shared space. Gallery exhibitions are a separate program and not a component of the residency program. There is no application fee and the residency does not include living accommodations.
