Residency Directory

The Alliance of Artists Communities is the premier information source on residencies in the U.S., and in partnership with its international sister organizations -- Res Artis and TransArtists -- is a comprehensive resource for residencies worldwide.

The Residency Directory includes Alliance Organizational and Emerging Program members, as well as non-member residencies. (See a list of Alliance Organizational Members only.)

	Emerging residency programs – those organizations that are in the process of developing new residencies
	Open application – those residencies that accept applications from artists, rather than invitation- or nomination-only residencies
