Siena Art Institute’s Summer Residency Program

The Siena Art Institute’s Summer Residency Program awards accomplished professional artists & writers the opportunity to stay for a month in the beautiful historic city of Siena, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy.

The month-long Summer Residency Program grants resident artists a studio space at the Siena Art Institute & a private 1-bedroom apartment in the historic city center of Siena, as well as flight compensation for getting to and from Italy.  Summer Residents are granted uninterrupted time to pursue their own independent projects, as well as the opportunity to explore the area of Siena, and interact with the local community.  

Applications are now being accepted for the 2019 residency session. The deadline to apply will be September 30, 2018

Summer Resident Artists are provided:

  • A private studio at the Siena Art Institute for four weeks.
  • A private 1-bedroom apartment in downtown Siena for their month-long stay (one double bed).
  • Compensation for flight to and from Italy from country of residence.

 

In turn, Resident Artists are asked to give back to the Siena Art Institute in several ways:

  • Presenting a public talk about their work upon arrival in Siena.
  • Interacting with our program participants through an organized activity, such as an afternoon master-class or critiques of student work.

 

While not required, Resident Artists are also invited to:

  • Hold at one or more open studios/exhibitions/performances/screenings during their residency.
  • Lead workshops with the Siena Art Institute’s summer program participants or members of the local community.

 

The Siena Art Institute’s Summer Residents are a valuable component of our programming, providing insight and inspiration to our program participants and the local community through the addition of their expertise, energy, and unique perspectives.  All types of artists and writers are welcomed to apply for the residency program, including but not limited to 2-D, 3-D, video, poetry, fiction and non-fiction.
