WHAT

The Luminary’s Residency Program is a part of our extensive interaction with the landscape of contemporary art. The Residency Program forms an integral element of our role as an originator of new works as well as providing unparalleled opportunities for artists to engage with the local community. We seek to promote and support exceptional emerging artists by providing a creative environment in which to work, well-equipped studios, an individually structured professional development program, and dedicated financial support. Each resident gains access to resources as diverse as an art and literature library, basic woodworking shop, digital editing equipment, video filming and production equipment, studio lighting, and exhibition space.

WHEN

We offer residencies for three, six and twelve months, with a special interim program designed for graduating students that runs for two months in the summer. Applications are accepted all year and are reviewed every six weeks.

We are currently taking applications for Summer/Fall 2010.

WHO

The residencies are designed for exceptional emerging artists seeking to develop creatively and professionally. All artists are encouraged to apply.

HOW TO SUPPORT THE RESIDENCY PROGRAM

Our residents are supported by the generosity of individual patrons. Patrons are paired with an artist-in-residence whose work they are interested in supporting through a stipend. The patron will receive an original work of comparable value from the artist at the conclusion of the residency and will have helped fund the creation of new work. We have patrons at all financial levels, so feel free to contact us at info@theluminaryarts.com if you are interested in getting involved.
