Artist in Residence

Visionaries and Voices (V+V) is pleased to open our Artist in Residence program for the 2025 exhibition season.  V+V is an inclusive arts organization providing creative, professional, and educational opportunities to artists with and without disabilities.  V+V is an open studio where artists can work and grow individually as professional artists. The studio atmosphere is truly a unique experience consisting of many personalities, ideologies, and methods of production—all overlapping in real time.

For this annual Artist in Residence program, we seek an artist who is interested in being part of the community, making work based on the experience, and presenting a culminating exhibition at the Northside Gallery. The exhibition is planned for July 2025 after a June/July residency period, but exact dates and times are flexible, depending on individual schedules. The AiR will have the opportunity to work alongside V+V artists in a communal studio, and can have storage available as needed.  V+V operates a studio in both Blue Ash and Northside. A $2,000 stipend is provided.  The opportunity is open to all US Citizens, but Cincinnati area artists are preferred as there is no living space provided.  A preference is also given to artists who are not already involved in the V+V community.

To Apply: Interested applicants should email a paragraph explaining past work and a rough proposal of how time will be spent during the residency at V+V.  Please also provide a link to a website, portfolio, or attach up to (3) .jpeg images no larger than 150dpi. The studios primarily focus on painting and ceramics but other areas are growing and we are open to all modes of art production.  All questions and materials should be sent to Maria Seda-Reeder at maria@visionariesandvoices.com with the email title “Your Last Name + AIR Application.”  Applications will be accepted through May 23rd, 2025.
