Currently, we are not taking any applications for residency positions as we renovate. However, we do maintain a list of inquiries to contact as soon as we begin accepting applications. Contact us if you wish to be included on this list. Thank you.

The Aurora Project offers three to six week residencies for up to nine artists and scholars per session. Private studios are open 24/7. Simple, comfortable accommodations and three meals a day are provided.

Residents are selected based on their applications and support materials submitted in July and reviewed by a peer panel in August. Announcements are made in October for residencies scheduled from March through December of the following year. Residencies are available to artists at any stage of their career, but are not open to students. A waiting list is maintained.

Disciplines Include:

• Camera-keys
• Visual Arts
• Photography and Media Arts, Drawing, Installation, Painting, Sculpture, Textile and Fiber Arts

The Aurora Project encourages artists and scholars from a wide range of disciplines to apply. Restrictions are made based on limitation of available space and equipment. Collaborations may be possible with nearby facilities, including access to a wood fire kiln, printmaking studio, a commercial glass blowing company, and community arts opportunities.
