The Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program (RAiR) is now accepting applications for a fully funded one-year residency.

Since 1967 RAiR has supported over 275 artists with the “Gift of Time”, a unique opportunity to concentrate on their work for an entire year without distraction.

Six artists will each be provided with a three-bedroom home, a 20’ x 30’ studio, a monthly stipend and a materials allowance. Families are welcome to join artists on the 50-acre compound in Roswell, New Mexico.
RAiR also provides facilities to support artistic production including a ceramics studio, woodshop, metal shop, printmaking studio, digital printing room, and access to video production equipment.

Artists are also invited to have a museum solo exhibition.

Applications are due by March 15, 2025 at 11:59 PM (MDT).
