Fellow artists, the application for the next round of artists is now open and, partly due to our success, the program is growing to encompass more artists and offer a variety of locations!

Expectations:
Artists chosen will be granted no-cost housing & working studio space or professional communal kitchen space at an American Landmark rental apartment community for up to one year.

You will be working independently as well as with the property manager of your building to coordinate events and engage students. You will be expected to participate in bi-monthly “Artists in Residence Community Meetings” via Zoom with one or more of our residency coordinators, Senior Artists in Residence, and one or more other American Landmark artists to share your progress, give and receive feedback, exchange ideas and discuss creative solutions for community enrichment.
Criteria To Apply:
To apply, you must be over the age of 18, working in a visual or culinary arts discipline, confident in your artistic profession, and have an interest in expanding your artistic practice in a community-focused context.
Experience with teaching and community involvement is a prerequisite. Must be a self starter, a “people person,” be open to receiving constructive criticism, and be willing to pivot your teaching approach and curriculum based on the response from your particular building’s residents/students.
Artist will be chosen based on compatibility with the needs of the community and likelihood to thrive creatively in this unique program.
This is an equal opportunity position; we value artistic expression, experience, creativity, excellence, professionalism and inclusion.
Finalists will be required to pass a criminal background check in compliance with the specific apartment’s regulations.
