The Program
Oolite Arts’ Home + Away offers Miami-Dade based artists opportunities to participate in some of the most important artist residencies in the country.
Along with dedicated hours to work on individual studio practices, Oolite Arts recognizes that time well spent in community with fellow artists is crucial in furthering artistic lives.
Miami artists and filmmakers will receive access to communal workspace and to international curators and master artists, an unrestricted $2,500 stipend in addition to coverage of their accommodations and travel costs.
Our hope is that through each residency, artists will return to South Florida with new ideas and relationships that will further enrich their own careers, and Miami’s cultural community.
There are three opportunities open at the following three locations:
- Anderson Ranch in Snowmass Village, Co. (February 1 – March 8, 2023)
- Artpace San Antonio in Texas (March 27 – May 1, 2023)
- MASS MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts (March 29 – May 2, 2023)
A jury of curators and artists will select the group that will attend these five-week residency opportunities.
