About
Kala offers subsidized residency rates for different working needs and artist experiences! Artists working in various printmaking techniques, photo processes, book arts, and digital media including video production can apply to become an Artist-in-Residence. Resident artists receive year-round 24-hour access to the printmaking workshop, digital lab, black and white darkroom, individual storage space, and project spaces (available to visiting artists), participation in a vital, international artist community, and potential exhibition opportunities.
Residency applications are accepted online at kala.slideroom.com. Artists who apply for a residency should be familiar with at least one of the media and equipment offered at Kala. Artists-In-Residence receive a 20% discount on Kala Workshops and Classes.
Artist housing is located across the street from Kala’s facilities. Kala offers two shared artist apartments, each apartment is a 2 bedroom unit, meaning you will be living with a roommate and sharing a kitchen, living room, and bathroom. A $200 non-refundable housing deposit to reserve artist housing is due in two weeks upon confirming the dates of your residency and will be applied toward the residency costs.
An Alternative Housing List is available for artists who would like to be responsible for securing alternative housing accommodations.
