Event History
Brand new program
What Makes this event different?
Artists chosen will be granted no-cost housing, working studio space, and on-site gallery space. For up to one year, artists will have opportunities for hosting art shows on the property, participating in public and semi-public engagement events, and collaborating in the creation of innovative community arts programs for adults and children. There is a vast array of potential exhibition spaces in this building, including a new residential co-working space, a light-filled studio that connects to a banquet hall, and various lobby and hallway spaces to be freshly curated.
