Somerville Arts Council presents: Artist Residency 101- Finding Your Creative Haven

Where do you go to find your muse? Artist residencies exist to allow artists and like minded individuals the opportunity to seek sanctuary for the creative process --a time and space away from their usual environment and obligations. It provides time for reflection, research, production, and immersion into new cultures. Every residency is different in their approach. There is no single model, and the expectations and requirements can vary greatly. The relationship between the resident and the host is often an important aspect of a residency program. Designed for those who are looking to advance their practice, or, for the seasoned residency applicant, Artist Residencies 101 gives an insider perspective from the point of view of both the artist and organization the search process, expectations and range of beneficial outcomes. Join us on April 10 to find your creative haven.

About the series
The creation of work is the driving force of any artist. However, it is one piece in a larger puzzle to developing the necessary skill set to further one’s career. In partnerships with Somerville Open Studios and the Somerville Media Center, the Somerville Arts Council will be hosting three part panel series, focusing on taxes, artist residencies, and pricing work. Join the Somerville Arts Council and industry professionals in March, April, and May for an evening of discussion about what it takes to be a working artist today.
