The Arts Incubator of Kansas City's internationally recognized resident artists program is currently accepting applications for its 24-month program in the Crossroads. It also is hosting two Question & Answer Tours for interested artists.

Annually, a group of 12 to 15 artists are accepted into this challenging two-year studio and career development program. The deadline for applications is Feb. 7.

Accepted artists, who are chosen based on a number of selective criteria, have 24-hour access to multiple studio facilities, including a wood and metal shop, printmaking facilities and a technology studio. The program assists resident artists in identifying long-term goals; establishing and maintaining a rigorous studio schedule; and developing professional skills to launch a successful career.
