Eligibility

The residency program is open to all visual artists, writers, and performing artists. We consider all types of artists from emerging talent to established professionals. All we ask is that each applicant exhibit a recent history of focused work within the disciplines they are applying. All applicants work must be compatible with our available resources, facilities and setting, at our discretion. Applicants must be over 18 at time of residency. Ozarks Art does not discriminate against age, orientations, gender, religion, etc...

Admissions

A rotating panel of professional artists, scholars, and associates of Ozarks Art review the applications, and make recommendations to the final selection committee. The committee will then make the final decisions and notify the selected artists. If, for any reason, an Artist must decline the residency, the committee will select an alternate until the program is filled. Artists are selected not just on the quality of their work, but their demonstrated commitment to their work, and to what degree their own creative process will benefit from the time spent in the program.
