Most professionals - from doctors to lawyers to teachers - have conferences to share information, network and learn of the latest trends. Oddly, few exist to address practicing artists' needs. And, still fewer do so on a global scale.

The Bemis Center is accepting applications for 3 month residencies featuring
$750 monthly stipends, staff support, generously sized live/work studios and
24 hour access to facilities.

Recently ranked "[one of the] Top 10 Residency Programs Around the Globe" by
Artinfo, the Bemis Center makes every effort to support artists in their
practice. From the beginning, the art-making process has been the highest
priority at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, where both the
atmosphere and environment offer ideal situations for creative growth and
experimentation. Artists from around the world come to the Bemis Center to
work in this supportive community and confront new challenges.

The Bemis Center provides Artists-in-Residence with time, space and support.
