Explore, Collaborate, and Connect This Summer at Chautauqua School of Art

The Chautauqua School of Art, a centerpiece of the renowned Chautauqua Institution’s Chautauqua Visual Arts program (CVA), is an incubator of inclusive and expansive programming in the visual arts. The School of Art Residency Program is composed of workshops, 24-hour studio access, and one-on-one time with faculty members and visiting artists. The curriculum intentionally breaks from the traditional methods of art education that silo disciplines from each other, and instead embraces a full range of studio and pragmatic studies including contemporary professional development. A central focus of our program is community building, which promises artists will leave with new friends, opportunities, and resources well beyond their time at Chautauqua.

The 2022 School of Art Residency Program is multigenerational, inclusive, and centered on working with thought leaders in small and intimate group settings. Participants in our program will work closely with our lead faculty and have the opportunity to interact with visiting artists through our vibrant lecture series, community events, and workshops. Each resident will also have their work featured in a group exhibition in our CVA Galleries. All artists-in-residence will become part of a larger online CVA community, and will be provided with continued support and resources through our expansive alumni program.

CVA offers the opportunity for the kind of sustained and focused time for research, experimentation, engagement, interaction with different fields in the arts, and performance that is not available in academic settings. Our program is open to all over the age of 21, without any media or educational restrictions. If you are creative, curious, hard-working, and generous, come join us!

The deadline for applications for the 2022 Chautauqua School of Art Residency is March 2. All applications will be reviewed by the lead faculty, and those who are not accepted will receive feedback on their application and more.
