Eligibility

• KODA’s residency program is targeted to mid-career artists working in all media and creating conceptual and socially engaged work. While the term “mid-career” is up to interpretation, we consider artists having a significant  body of works spanning several years, with min. 10 years of experience as professional artist, and previous solo exhibitions nationally and internationally, as “mid-career”. They are often without current gallery representation.

• KODA does not provide housing, transportation, or visa sponsorship.

• We do not accept applications from students currently enrolled in school.

• We do not require a BA, MA, BFA, or MFA.

• We do not yet accept applications from collectives/collaborative groups.

• We require the artist to devote a minimum of 20 hours per month to the residency.

• We require artists-in-residence to participate in open studios at least once during their residency term.

• We require artists-in-residence to attend monthly residency meetings.

• You must be 30 years or older.
