VSY FOR THE ARTS
Artist-in-residence
programs and
other residency
opportunities exist
to invite artists,
academicians,
curators, and all
manner of creative
people for a time
and space away
from their usual
environment and
obligations. They
provide a time of
reflection, research,
presentation and/
or production.
They also allow an
individual to explore
his/her practice
within another
community; meeting
new people, using
new materials,
experiencing life
in a new location.
Art residencies
emphasize the
importance of
meaningful and
multi-layered
cultural exchange
and immersion into
another culture.
