The Bemis residency is a process-based experience–residents have the ability to research, experiment, and explore free from expectations for the fall term residencies.

Applications are open to national and international artists 21+ years of age showing a strong professional working history. A variety of disciplines are accepted including, but not limited to, visual arts, media/new genre, performance, architecture, film/video, literature, interdisciplinary arts, music composition, and choreography.

Bemis residents enjoy generously-sized, private live/work studios and have 24-hour access to extensive installation and production spaces. Due to the limitations of B2 visas (touring/visiting), international artists-in-residence are eligible to receive reimbursement of qualified expenses, such as airfare, ground transportation, and meals. Otherwise there is a stipend of 1200 USD. There is an application fee of 40 USD.
