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.
Oolite arts is now accepting applications for two, five-week residency opportunities taking place in 2021:
- Anderson Ranch in Snowmass, Co. (Feb. 3 – March 9, 2021)
- Artpace in San Antonio, Texas (March 22 – April 26, 2021)
Miami artists and filmmakers will be chosen to participate in each program, which includes access to communal workspace and to international curators and master artists. Artists will receive 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.
