Farmington Valley Arts Center Artist in Residence Program http://artsfvac.org/air-program/ The Farmington Valley Arts Center’s long-standing Artist in Residence Program in Avon, CT provides free studio space for a three-month term to “emerging” fine artists or artisans seeking to explore new directions and enhance their creative vision. The FVAC defines an “emerging” artist as someone who has created a promising body of work and is dedicated to his or her art, but who is not yet recognized by
19
educational institutions, galleries, collectors and critics. Furthermore, the artist must be in “need” of space to work and create.
Artists in Residence are selected based on the quality of their work, the goals they expect to accomplish through their residency, and their potential contributions to this vibrant cultural community. Frequently, the Artist in Residence has additional opportunities to teach, to participate in collaborative events, and to exhibit work. To request a copy of the application packet, please call 860.678.1867 or email [email protected].
