From February through November of each year, Stove Works’ Artist Residency invites eight Artists to live/work for 1-3 months at a time. Our residency serves as a moment away from the rigamarole of life and an opportunity for Artists (you) to take advantage of the dedicated time, space, resources, and community we have to offer.

We have no expectations for how Artists use their time at Stove Works. Do whatever is best for you. We only ask that you come with an open and kind mind. We believe the relationships you build onsite are as valuable as the work you create while you are here.

Each resident will have a private studio/bedroom and bathroom; a shared kitchen, living space, and laundry; and 24-hour access to facilities, including a metal shop, wood shop, print shop, common shop space, and a library.
