The Remy Steevensz Artist-in-Residence Program

Our Artist-in-Residence program welcomes musicians, studio artists, technical designers, and theatrical directors to work with the faculty and students of Tilton.  From a one-day featured event to a seasonal commitment, artists can scale their engagement to match their interests and availability. The program offers two housing options on campus as well as meals and other amenities.  

In our program everyone can benefit from an artist residency: our team of faculty and students will gain new knowledge while  the artist-in-residence gets special access to our program, spaces, art gallery, and the ability to showcase their expertise to inform their own craft.

Come for a featured day on campus or run workshops for one week, two weeks or a full trimester.

Have questions? Complete the interest form or set up a call with one of our team members by emailing tsmith@tiltonschool.org

How to Get Involved? Share your resumé and portfolio using the interest form. Please include any relevant links you may have to your media channels and digital portfolio.

Who is Eligible? Artists of all ages are welcome to collaborate with us! We LOVE to support new college graduates and experienced artists who are retired!

Compensation. The Artist-in-Residence program supports travel and an honorarium scaled to the artist’s time on campus.
