The Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program
The Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program was established in 1967.
Mission:
"Recognized nationally for its generous provisions, the "Gift of Time" is offered without obligation; there is no requirement to teach, lecture, donate work, or exhibit, though exhibitions are frequently offered by the RMAC to resident artists."
"The "Gift of Time" is an opportunity for artists to explore ideas in depth, to take risks, and even to fail.
While many artists do produce large bodies of work under the grant, the creative growth of the individual artist is the most significant product of the residency experience."
