Business-As-Usual Home Residency
What happens when creative work unfolds under ordinary conditions—when artists remain within the familiar rhythms, spaces, and tools that shape their everyday practice? This residency examines the artistic process as it naturally occurs, without removing artists from their usual environments.
Rather than disrupting routine, the program asks artists to work within their own studios, homes, or other regular workspaces and pay closer attention to how ideas develop over time. By observing and documenting practice as it normally happens, the residency explores how environment, habit, and daily structure influence creative thinking and decision-making.
Seeking Artists From All Disciplines Willing To:
Work within their existing studio or home workspace
Engage in sustained, focused studio inquiry over the course of a week
Document and reflect on how their creative process unfolds in everyday conditions
Examine how environment, routine, & available resources shape their thinking and work
Participation is best suited for artists who have an active studio practice, are tied to their current location (cannot travel), and are comfortable reflecting on their process and are interested in examining how creative work develops over time—not simply producing finished work.
Over Five Days, Artists Will:
Continue working within their usual studio or home environment
Maintain and document their typical creative routines and methods
Document works in progress and reflect on moments of decision-making, redirection, or discovery
Participate in conversations about how creative processes unfold in different environments
