New: Artist Alliance Stay-in-Place Residency

I started a new stay-in-place residency program in the Artist Alliance Community. It will be a 90 day self-imposed program, happening Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer. It’s for members in the community interested in the focus and dedication a residency program offers, along with the accountability and feedback given from our community. This is a self-imposed, stay-at-home residency. At close, we will have a wrap up meeting and an exhibition.

So far it’s been far more popular than I imagined. Members are very intent on making the most of their time and benefitting from the community feedback.

The Autumn Residency runs October 1 and run through December 31.

This residency will be held each quarter for 3 months:

Autumn: October - December

Winter: January - March

Spring: April - June

Summer: July - September

Members decide on an area they would like to focus on for 3 months. It could be developing a daily sketching practice, exploring painting in a different style or size, exploring a new medium, starting a new series or direction. You decide the purpose and intent of the residency. There are no “rights” or “wrongs”. Whatever they think three months of focus and dedication (plus accountability and feedback) will be most beneficial for them and their practice

Participants commit to posting at least once a week in the residency space showing the work they've created and the progress made.

At the end of each residency, we'll have a wrap up community Zoom, with each artist participating in a residency doing a short presentation of their process and sharing work created. We will also have an exhibition with one residency-created work per artist, plus their purpose of the residency, on view at our public exhibition space.

Look for our first residency exhibition in January, 2022.
