 THE PROGRAM:

 This residency program was started in celebration of five years in business as an artist collective.

It includes a 7x10 art studio space, all facilities use, exhibit space, teaching space, dialog with other artists, and a chance to be a part of a collective experience. The program offers the participant an opportunity to sell work at the studio and to be featured in AUFS’s marketing platforms like Instagram, Facebook, email and blog.

The program is for one artist for one month out of six - September thru February.

AUFS welcomes the participant to present a talk to our artists (or the public.)
