The Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program serves as a contemporary counterpoint to the traditional arts of the Southwest, reinforces the Program's interest in strengthening the vitality of art in New Mexico and has been a catalyst in broadening community understanding of
contemporary art. In-residence grants are offered to artists involved in painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, photography, installation and other fine art media. Grants are not made in the disciplines of performance art or production crafts.

HOUSING ACCOMMODATIONS and STUDIO FACILITIES The studios are large, open spaces that measure approximately 20'x25'x10'. These areas are well-lighted and convertible to the artist's requirements within reason. The printmaking facility is a small, fully operational studio - basically lithographic/etching in nature. Artists are housed in a complex of six houses and 10 studios located on forty acres of land. Each artist is provided with a house that can amply accommodate either a single person or a family. Rent, utilities (except telephone), repairs and maintenance costs are borne by the Program. Houses are furnished with major furniture items, appliances and utensils Because of the close proximity of the buildings and setting of the residency, there is a policy of no dogs on the residency facility. STIPENDA stipend, or living allowance, of $800 per month is offered along with $100 per month for every dependent living with the grantee.
Currently, the cost of art materials is borne by the grantee.
