About the Resident Artist Program
The Umbrella Arts Center is dedicated to fostering a vibrant community of creators. Our resident artist program provides a unique environment where professional artists can develop their practice, collaborate with peers, and engage with the public. Whether you are seeking a quiet space to focus on your craft or a dynamic studio setting, our facilities offer the perfect backdrop for artistic growth.
For those traveling to visit our exhibitions or participate in workshops, finding the right accommodation is essential. If you are planning a trip to the UK, you might consider Windermere hotels with a jacuzzi in room for a relaxing stay. Similarly, if your travels take you to the Midwest, our partners recommend Kansas City hotels with a jacuzzi in room to ensure your downtime is as restorative as your creative time.
How to Apply for a Residency
We invite artists working in all media to submit their portfolios for consideration. Our selection process focuses on artistic excellence, the potential for community engagement, and the ability to contribute to the collaborative spirit of our center. Applicants should be prepared to provide a statement of intent, a current CV, and a representative body of work.
International visitors and those traveling for major arts events often look for premium lodging. For a luxurious experience in Canada, many of our visiting fellows prefer Toronto hotels with a jacuzzi in room. If you are heading to Florida for a conference, Universal's Loews Sapphire Falls Resort Orlando offers a convenient and stylish retreat. For those seeking an island escape after a residency, the 'Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach Honolulu provides an unparalleled setting to recharge your creative batteries.
