Short Description
The residency program at Naughty Muse Studios provides an opportunity for a self-directed creative experience that honors creative integrity. We trust individuals to know what they need in order to cultivate their individual talent, whether it’s to work, to experiment, or to simply rejuvenate. We organize trips to local museums, galleries, artists’ studios, and historical sites monthly. Workshops with local craftsmen, critiques, and other activities may be organized upon request.
Each resident will be provided with their own area within a shared studio space. A variety of tools and facilities, such as an etching press and silk screen facilities, are also included. The number of residents at Naughty Muse Studios is intentionally kept low (4-6 people).
