What Exactly is an Artist in Residence?
How Do Artist in Residencies Work?
Artist-in-residence programs exist to invite artists, academicians, and curators to reside within the premises of an institution. For example, a large church often has an organist-in-residence or “resident organist” who is the default performer when the organ is needed or used. Similarly a “painter-in-residence” is often the first artist considered by their institution when it needs or desires a painting to be painted.
Some residency programs are incorporated within larger institutions, such as museums, universities, or galleries. Other organizations exist solely to support residential exchange programs.
