ARTIST IN RESIDENCE

The Arts Center of Yates County residency program is open to visual artists, mixed media artists, literary artists, and performance artists who can demonstrate professional standing in their field. It offers a 10-day use of the Sunny Point facility located on Keuka Lake in western New York’s Finger Lakes region. This lakeside residence with separate studio space is available at no cost. Travel and meals are not included.

 

This opportunity includes the expectation that the participating artist will 'give back' to the Arts Center in some way – teach a class, do a demonstration, provide a piece of art work associated with their stay at Sunny Point or some other 'in kind' donation.
