This program offers residency support for Minnesota BIPOC practicing artists and their families at all stages in their careers, working in all mediums. The artist is welcome to use studio space for art if desired, but it is not required. As such, there is no output or product required for this residency. However, there is one community share-back opportunity required for this residency, which could be a community workshop, school visit, small gathering, or blog post. This will be arranged with LA staff once selected. The length of residency is optional between one and two weeks long, as it fits within Lanesboro Arts events calendar. Artists can request to be in a cohort residency model, where another BIPOC artist would be in residence at at the same time. Cohort residency artists are hosted in separate residency living spaces. Applicants may apply together for a cohort residency, or indicate openness to being in residence at the same time as another artist without having a particular cohort in mind. Each artist will receive their own stipend and artist supplies budget.
