After a residency, you might create something that would never have otherwise existed. You could discover one or two new lifetime friends. You might land in your body, and find that those dark places are yours and that growth can hurt but is always worth it. You may learn that what is precious is what you left back home. Your peripheral vision could double. You may discover that your breathing has changed, and you are forever one degree hotter. You will certainly feel grateful. I did.

— Sarah Perry

Cultural progress depends on new ways of thinking about and reflecting on the world. The Alliance of Artists Communities believes, by providing artists with time, space and community, that artists’ communities and residencies actively contribute to the continuing development of culture.

The Alliance includes more than 250 members, which collectively serve more than 12,000 artists each year. In support of this work, only the Alliance is in a position to connect artists’ communities to their peers across the country, to advocate for increased funding for residency programs, and to provide comprehensive data, trends and best practices on the field.
