About The ARCH Artists In Residency Program
The Advoc8te hopes to see everyone tonight at the reception at Honfleur Gallery in Anacostia to introduce the Fall class of ARCH Artists in Residence: Mark, Paddy, and Jane from Northern Ireland. In the meantime, I wanted to include some information on the ARCH Residency Program so you have something to talk about and perhaps can encourage someone to apply for the program in 2012. :)

About the Program:
The ARCH Artist in Residency Program is an opportunity for artist to pursue thoroughly their creative project amid DC’s vibrant and diverse urban environment. Residencies are offered; spring, summer and fall. The residencies are approximately 8 weeks long. Each artist will work closely the creative staff at Honfleur Gallery and the Gallery at Vivid Solutions to determine the parameters of the residency and needs of the artist in advance of their arrival. These parameters will focus primarily on the details of the artists’ project, but are also about how to best connect to the local community, foster dynamic interaction and develop exposure to the resources of the greater DC cultural community. The program will offer free housing and free shared workspace to participating artists.
The ARCH Artist in Residency Program is funded, in part by the National Endowment for the Art. All Openings for 2011 are closed. Please stay posted to the residency page for openings in 2012.
