They don’t have to be. In this workshop, we’ll break down what artist residencies actually are, how to find opportunities that fit your practice, and how to apply without burning yourself out. We’ll talk about funded vs self-funded programs, work samples, project proposals, and how to decide what’s worth your time. This session is practical, honest, and designed for artists at any stage who want clarity instead of confusion. 📅 Date: Tuesday, February 17th, 2026 ⏰ Time: 5:30 - 7pm 📍 Location: AVA
