The Artist-in-Residence program
Our Residence Program was developed to continue our support and education of fine art photographers. Through the program, artists receive a $1250 credit and one free class, or $1500 credit and no class. The credit is only for use of the rentals and services at RayKo, it is not a cash stipend for the purchase of supplies. The residence does not include a housing, transportation or food stipend.
The program begins at the start of each workshop semester, so artists can utilize every opportunity to refine their work through the workshops and staff mentoring. There is a three month timeframe to complete the body of work. Artists gain hands on experience in the entire process of creating work, from conceptualizing, printing, framing, and hanging. Work produced in the program, will culminate in a show in our side gallery. Up to three final prints of the gallery’s choice will be donated to RayKo’s print collection.
Artists will check in with the Gallery Director for review sessions. Staff mentoring is available to assist in the artistic development of residents and cultivate a more polished body of work.
Who is eligible
Artists living in the US working in the medium of photography, traditional, digital, or both. Individuals and groups are welcome to apply.
