Artist-In-Residence Program

Anderson Ranch’s Artists-in-Residence Program fosters creative, intellectual and professional growth for emerging and established visual artists. Residents have access to world-class facilities and studio time, free from everyday pressures. Residents can pursue interdisciplinary projects among a community of working artists, and gain feedback from prominent Visiting Artists and Critics. The Ranch setting is specifically crafted to aid artists in the production of their work. The residency is designed to allow artists to take risks and pursue new projects and ideas. Residents will be provided housing, studio space and meals. Residencies are offered in ceramics, new media, photography, furniture design, woodworking, painting, drawing, printmaking and sculpture. Spring residents pay a fee of $750 for the five weeks at the Ranch. A select group of the 32 residencies are fully funded fellowships awarded by the jury panel.

Residencies are offered during Spring and Fall terms each year in ceramics, new media, photography, furniture design, woodworking, painting, drawing, printmaking and sculpture. Applications are open between December-February each year for the following Fall & Spring terms. The Fall Residency is a 10-week program running from October-December, and the Spring program is a 5-week Residency with 2 sessions, February-March and March-April. Residents will be provided housing, studio space and meals. Fall Residents pay a fee of $1,500 for the 10-week Residency Program and Spring residents pay a fee of $750 for the five-week Residency, as well as a $100 studio fee. A select group of the 48 residencies are fully-funded fellowships awarded by the jury panel.
