Art residencies are programs that provide artists with dedicated time and space to create their work. These residencies often offer accommodations, studio space, and sometimes financial support, allowing artists to focus on their projects without the distractions of daily life. They can vary in length, from a few weeks to several months, and may be located in urban or rural settings. Many art residencies also encourage collaboration and community engagement, allowing artists to connect with local cultures and other creatives. Some residencies culminate in exhibitions or open studios, where artists can showcase their work to the public and receive feedback.
