Artist residencies enrich an artistic practice by providing studio space, networking and educational opportunities, inspirational resources, and a break from the disruptions of life. They afford the time, and physical and mental room necessary for artistic, personal, and professional growth; oftentimes in ways greater than you anticipate.

This evening lecture will cover:

• Resources for finding residencies

• How to select the residency right for you

• The expected and unexpected benefits

• Financial and logistical planning

• Anecdotal firsthand accounts

Lisa Lebofsky is currently in the midst of a multiyear mission of residency hopping across North America. She has been on group, solitary, and self realized residencies  – from the Arctic through Antarctic, from the most rustic to most deluxe – through various arts foundations, institutions, national parks, museums, and crowdfunded endeavors. Her work is about the human relationship with nature. She holds her MFA from the New York Academy of Art.

This event is free open to the public.
