As a cohort of purpose-led makers, we will discuss the many crossovers and differences between art and design. We will identify how our individual practices exist and work on that spectrum. We will discuss existing projects and projects in the making, to push meaning, connect materials, explore aesthetics and increase impact. We will connect through optional, daily, yoga-based breath and movement exercises as a way to steep our bodies into our making minds. And we will also stay open to the potential of initiating a collaborative project together while onsite at ACA. 

  
The best candidate for this residency would be either an artist looking to amplify the impact of their work’s purpose or a designer looking to use their purpose centered process to make art. I realize most of you are likely both artist and designer, but that there is a special fuel inside this fluidity that can be tapped into with deeper understanding.

  
This will be a low key, but very intentional residency. There are no prerequisites required.

Each Associate Artist receives a full-size bed, bathroom with shower, small refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and desk space with a view of the natural vegetation. 

  
All meals are prepared Monday through Friday by our onsite chefs that are able to accommodate all dietary restrictions. A continental, self-service breakfast bar is available 24 hours; lunch and dinner are served Monday through Friday, and leftovers on the weekends. 

  
All residency fees, room and board are waived; this does not include travel, transportation, and artist materials. For any additional financial support needs, please consult the following links for information about third-party funding.
