The Rocking S contributes to the greater Phoenix arts community by hosting artists in residence. Our residency program is for visual artists/writers/artists of all types. Applications for the 2024 sessions are now live. Residencies range from 2 weeks to three months.
The ranch
The ranch is in an urban neighborhood, within walking distance to a grocery store and a hardware store. Twenty artists work in their studios at the ranch and we regularly host open studios and events. Our buildings are functional and funky, featuring good wall space, good light, A/C, wifi, and a good vibe. The courtyard at night is magical!
who can apply?
The ideal applicant will be a professional artist, working in any media, writer, choreographer, or dancer, who does not reside in the greater Phoenix area. We hope that you would benefit from time dedicated to your practice, the diverse creative environment of Phoenix, and the extraordinary natural environment of Arizona.
