Four residencies will be awarded, each lasting three weeks in the 2027 Spring Semester. Two residencies are designated for Mercer County artists, and two for artists residing outside the county.
Residency Details
Residents will be assigned one of two gallery side spaces to create an exhibition or performance-based project, showcased concurrently with another resident artist.

Upon successful completion, artists will receive a $350 stipend.
