Red Wing Arts Residency Program Application

The Red Wing Arts Residency Program invites artists working in any discipline to create in a place where art and community are deeply connected. Set in the vibrant and historic river town of Red Wing, MN, this residency offers artists the time, space, and support to explore ideas, take creative risks, and grow their practice.
