QHHQ self-guided Residency (April 15-november 1)

At its most basic, a residency is a place for someone to live and work. What to work ON is determined by the resident. A self-guided residency does not require any involvement with the community, any sort of exhibition or output, or even frequent interaction with your hosts. It is self-catered, and no administrative help is provided other than guiding potential residents towards possible funding sources (if needed) and connecting the resident to local resources.

what past residents are saying:

Aaron oldenburg, april 2024

“This residency was exactly what I needed to minimize distractions, engage deeply with my work, and re-develop good habits to carry forward as I continue this project. It was great to connect with you all, talk about art and learn about the local community, and receive some of the first feedback on this project as well. I also realized how important it was to work in a space that isn't piled high with visual clutter as my own studio/office back home has become. It's amazing what can happen in a week.”
