Confluence, a creative community space, is seeking artists for our Artist-in-Residence Program!

Purpose: To provide an artist with a space to have the freedom to explore their artistic voice and to lend a platform to their creative efforts. To provide the community with an opportunity to support and interact with local artists in a more personal way. To support art along the Catawba River Watershed and support the South Fork River.

2024 Residency Dates: Flexible Dates. Will expect around 3 months. Preferred dates are during the summer with start date in April or May.

Artist can be in the beginning stages of their career, or looking for new opportunities to engage with a local community. Being an advocate for the environment is a bonus, especially if you can utilize recycled, reused, or second-life items in your artwork.

Applicants must include their vision for how they will use the time of their residency, provide a clearly written idea for engaging with the community through a workshop, demonstration, or talk, provide strong examples of their work, present a resume outlining their education and experience, and provide references.
