The studio is approximately 9'x16' with a pocket door for privacy, wall space for displaying works in progress, large studio table that adjusts to accommodate seated or standing height, ergonomic studio chair, high-speed fiber internet provided by Ting, a multi-function printer, and a shared kitchen and bathroom. It’s located adjacent to New City Arts’ Welcome Gallery at 114 3rd St. NE, Charlottesville, VA 22902.

Resident artists are selected through an open call and artist-led community review panel. Residency applications are currently closed.

The residency is open to artists of all disciplines (visual artists, writers, musicians, dancers, and filmmakers). Resident artists must live in the Charlottesville area during the residency program. Preference is given to applicants with specific project goals for the residency period, which is approximately 6 months.

Please note that the studio space does not have a working window and is in a public space. For this reason, we do not recommend this residency for artists working with materials that produce fumes requiring a well-ventilated space.

Given that the core of our mission is to foster engagement with the arts in Charlottesville, VA, we ask that resident artists

• spend a minimum of 15 hours a week in the studio;

• share their work publicly at the end of their residency.

Candidates must live in the Charlottesville area (including the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle, Buckingham, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, Nelson and Orange counties) during the residency program.
