What is a “remote” residency?

“Make Something” is a remote residency – this means artists will work from home to complete their project. Artist’s are encouraged to propose mentors if they have some in mind or the folks at Something Shows will offer some supportive resources and encourage physically distanced weekly check-ins and learning opportunities among participating artists.

Who is behind Make Something?

Something Shows is coordinating and hosting the residency program. The selection jury will include representatives from our pals at KIAC, SOVA & more to be listed!

Do you have a mentor/collaborator in mind?

For the past two years we have helped connect mentors/collaborators with MS residency artists. This year we would like to see if you would have someone in mind? As it is hard to know how involved mentors/collaborators might be so there is no set rate. Please let us know what your person might have in mind for compensation :)
