Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Arrowmont was unable to offer the Arrowmont Artist-in-Residency for the 2020-2021 year. The residency candidates selected for the 2020-2021 cohort have been deferred to the 2021-2022 year instead.
Therefore, Arrowmont is not seeking applications for the Artist-in-Residency for the 2021-2022 period. We encourage anyone interested in the program to follow our social media channels and check our website for any updates or information. If new applications open for 2021-2022, that update will be posted here, across our social media, and through our eBlasts – click here to sign up for our newsletter. We hope to return to a normal application cycle for the 2022-2023 Artist-in-Residency.
