///APPLY FOR ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE & AFFILIATE ARTIST PROGRAMS

The Center accepts applications from emerging, mid-career and senior level artists. Local, regional, national and international artists are all eligible for the Artist-in-Residence Program. Only artists who live within a 50-mile radius of Charlotte are eligble for the Affiliate Artist Program. Former Affiliate Artists and Artists-in-Residence may reapply; however, priority will be given to artists who have not been awarded residencies.
