Distillery Emerging Artist Residency

Distillery is an eleven-month studio residency designed to help 7 emerging artists transition into a professional artistic career by supporting a vigorous studio practice and providing professional development opportunities in a creative and affordable environment. This program focuses on inspiring participants to embrace new challenges in their work and connect to a supportive community. Artists will work throughout the year towards a group exhibition featured at the Brew House Gallery.

Additionally, selected artists will be paired with a mentor and attend monthly professional development workshops with a variety of experts in the field. Guest speakers will give advice on essential skills for artists including developing an artist statement, community collaboration, writing proposals, marketing as an artist, and more.

Selected artists will work collaboratively to complete proposals for a permanent installation at the Brew House that engages its residential community. One collaborative proposal will be accepted for permanent installation in the Brew House building.
