The ArtFields Residency Program will begin with two tracks: project-based residencies and process-based residencies. ArtFields will provide access to studio space and accommodations to all selected artists during their residency term.

Project-based residencies will result in a culminating exhibition or public art project. Timelines and budgets for these residencies will be determined on a case-by-case basis to best fit the project. ArtFields will provide support for materials, transportation, and travel.

Process-based residencies will have no requirement of a finished product, we simply ask that selected artists travel to Lake City and dedicate their time and our spaces to developing their process as is most beneficial to their artistic career. Process-based residencies will range from 10-30 days and each selected artist will receive a materials stipend based on the length of their term.
