ABOUT THOMAS VANDYKE GALLERY’S ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM

Thomas VanDyke Gallery is fortunate to provide a dedicated studio for our Residency Program as well as onsite living accoodations. Within this space Resident Artists have the opportunity to produce a body of work in a supportive atmosphere for creative growth and development. The intention of the residency is to offer artists uninterrupted time and a private environment to explore and realize their creativity. This residency has proven to be an ideal opportunity for experimentation and collaboration.

Works created during the residency will be exhibited at the gallery following the session.
