creative concepts, ideas and theories. The Ceramics Studio, Sculpture Studio, and The Velvet Antler Print Studio

residencies from professional artists for 2000. Artistic merit is the basis
for selection. Proposals must be compatible with available studio space,
facilities and resources.

Our Sculpture Studio offers an unparalleled opportunity for artists to work

In our environment, participants can explore and define form, space,
composition, subject, and content, using cross-disciplinary techniques and
materials.
