James Castle House Artist Residency (2-Month)

This residency invites artists to immerse themselves in the historic site where James Castle lived and worked for the last 46 years of his life. Artists are asked to explore the house, its history, and the surrounding landscape, and respond to their experience through the creation of new works. Residents will share their creative practice and process with our community through several public events throughout their stay, including, but not limited to, workshops, open studios, and presentations. Each residency cycle provides one participant with private furnished living quarters, 24-hour studio access, and a $4,000.00 stipend to assist with living expenses and supplies necessary to create work. The resident is responsible for travel and shipping expenses. At the end of their term, residents will donate a selected piece reflective of their time at the James Castle House and congruent with the quality and style of work portrayed in their application. This piece will be a part of the larger collection owned by the City of Boise.
