artist in residence program 2025

Each year, Bernheim selects up to four artists for its residency program. One residency is dedicated to a regional artist living in Kentucky or in Clark and Floyd counties of Southern Indiana, while another is reserved for an artist whose work engages with environmental issues and climate change.

The duration is between 6 and 8 weeks. Selected artists will work with Bernheim to arrange residency dates based on their desired time and availability within the months of 2025.

EXPECTATIONS

• A mutually agreed-upon work of art is to be gifted to Bernheim, designed to inspire visitors to form deeper connections with nature.
• All Artists-in-Residence are required to participate in at least one public program, either onsite or offsite, during their residency. These community engagement programs help extend Bernheim’s mission and core values beyond its physical boundaries.
• The type and scope of the programs will be collaboratively designed and agreed upon by the artist and Bernheim staff. Engagement activities may include community projects, lectures, demonstrations, youth-learning experiences, workshops, or other special programming.
