Residencies

Residencies

Time, Space, Community

While each of the residencies at Art Gym has its own structure and requirements, they are all built on the same goal: Providing time, space, and community for artists to use while working towards a project. In addition to completing their proposed project, it is our hope that each artist that moves through one of our residency programs gains a greater understanding of their art practice and builds new connections in the process.
