Artist-in-Residence Application

Thank you for your interest in our Artist in Residence Program. Our program is open to creatives in the visual arts across a wide variety of media as well as individuals who work in creative arts related fields.

PLEASE NOTE: We welcome new and developing artists! Our aim is to build a supportive community of new, developing, and established creatives. This application is to get a sense of where you are in your creative process. It is not a job application.

Applications are reviewed on a continual basis. Please fill out the application to the best of your ability, and use the text box at the end to provide any information that didn't fit neatly into another space.

If you have any questions about the application please email info@fyamelrose.org. Please be sure to look at the AIR Policies and Procedures before you apply as you will be asked to agree to these as a resident member.
