Dedicated studio space (typically 1-2 month allocation), shared materials and tools, scheduled peer-critique sessions, open studios for the local public, and operator connections to galleries and curators. Many residencies culminate in a group show.
Choose artist residency over open-access artist coliving when the structured cohort and program calendar are the value. The forced focus (you have an exhibition deadline) and the curated peer group are the differentiators vs. drop-in artist coliving.
