The Visual Arts Center of Richmond (VisArts) invites visual artists to apply for the organization’s 11-month residency program, funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Windgate Foundation.

Three visual artists will be invited to spend the year (September 1 – July 31) making new work, which will be included in a group exhibition set to open in the spring of their residency year. The exhibition will be curated by a consulting curator contracted by VisArts.

Residents will have the opportunity to:

* Work in residence at VisArts’ residency space

* Teach up to two classes at VisArts in the winter and spring sessions – Please note that residents are paid for teaching under a separate contract
* Host open studio events during major events throughout the year
* Contribute work to the final resident artist exhibition
* Give a gallery talk and/or organize programming in relation to exhibition
* Host studio visits with donors, funders and friends of the organization, as requested
