A residency is a program that provides artists, creatives, and designers with time and space to work on their projects in an inspiring and supportive environment. Organizations and institutions often offer workspaces, equipment, funding, and other resources to facilitate this.
Residency programs require an application process where participants are selected by a jury. The duration varies from weeks to months, giving participants a unique opportunity to focus on their creative work without distractions.
Residencies can be discipline-specific—such as visual arts, literature, or music—or interdisciplinary, encouraging collaboration across different art forms. They provide a supportive community and opportunities for both professional and personal growth.
