ATalented visual artists (including ceramics, painting, drawing, environmental arts, and mixed media) who have reached a level of maturity in their work and have strong records of artistic achievement or the promise of this achievement, come to Serenbe as a Serenbe Institute Artist in Residence. Although the primary emphasis is on the visual arts, periodically residencies are also offered to writers and composers.  Residency is by invitation only; expressions of interest may be submitted by contacting institute@serenbe.com.

The primary purposes of the residency are 1) for the artist to spend uninterrupted time creating work in the Serenbe community, and 2) encouraging and fostering an appreciation for the creative process within community.  Each Resident Artist is asked to spend time during his/her stay participating in educational outreach opportunities, which may include slide lectures, workshops, open studio, video interviews, and other activities in the Serenbe community.  A gallery exhibition may be offered after the residency period; facilities at the Serenbe Photography Center are available to Resident Artists. The Serenbe Institute offers former Resident Artists additional opportunities for a return residency and special long-term residency programs. One artist per calendar quarter is invited for a residency. The Serenbe Institute does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, religion, national origin, age, gender or sexual orientation.
