We ask that you keep us informed about your progress during your residency. We may ask you to share content through our social media channels or tag us in any creations. After your residency, please complete a feedback survey to share how it helped you develop your work. Please note that once your residency offer is accepted, any cancellations or changes may require you to reapply; if changes arise, let us know as soon as possible so we can offer the space to others.
