ARTIST RESIDENCY
The Artist Residency at the Aquarium Gallery & Studios is a FREE creative opportunity for traveling visual artists to make new work in a new space for a month (or 2 week minimum).
Artists of any medium or career level with proposals for new projects are encouraged to apply.
The program provides a live-in studio with a loft bed and work space, private bathroom and access to the communal kitchen. If the loft is an issue we can put the bed on the ground floor but it will reduce your work space. please contact us with any concerns!
Resident artists are encouraged to offer a showing, installation, and/or interactive workshop based on the work they create during their residency. The showing will probably be in an open studio style.
The studio is located at the Aquarium Gallery & Studios in the Bywater, which is shared with the artist collective and connected apartments.

Covid & cancelation policy
We ask you to have the vaccine and boosters and to consider taking a covid test before departing your home town if feeling not 100%. You can cancel at anytime due to covid and recieve your deposit back. The sooner you cancel the more chance we can refill the time slot from the waitlist.
At this time masks are not required indoors but that can quickly change. There are exterior doors entering almost every room of the house so its often recommended/easier to walk outside to your studio. Any concerns feel free to email AquariumArtgallery@gmail.com
