Summer Residency Program

ACRE’s Residency Program takes place every summer in the Driftless region of Wisconsin on a 1,000‑acre farm. The residency hosts approximately 60 emerging, often under‑represented artists of all disciplines for three 14‑day sessions. Residents live and work in a communal setting with shared housing, three meals per day, and access to extensive studio facilities—including wood shop, ceramics, metalwork, printmaking, textile, digital media, performance stage, and more. The program provides mentorship, workshops, and the opportunity to engage with a supportive community. Applications are open to artists of any discipline, career stage, and nationality. The residency is fully accessible with ADA‑compliant housing and facilities, and offers scholarships on a need‑based basis. The residency fee is subsidized at $50 per day ($700 total for a 14‑day session).
