ART 180 is looking for ten teen youth artists for our Atlas Artist Residency

The eight-week summer artist residency provides teens with the opportunity to develop artistic skills while working alongside professional artists in a creative and collaborative environment. This year applications are open to high school students currently in the 9th, 10th, and 11th grades in Richmond and its surrounding counties, with priority given to RPS and BIPOC students. The program will explore mindfulness practices, social entrepreneurship, and field trips to art museums, galleries, and nature explorations. All teens selected for the program will be awarded personal art-studio space, a program stipend, and materials and opportunities to expand their portfolio of work and bolster their resume/cv for college applications. At the end of the residency, you will have the opportunity to showcase your process and final artwork in an exhibition at ART 180s First Friday in August. 

 

An advisory committee will review all submitted applications to determine which artists are best suited for the residency program. 

 

All applicants are required to submit examples of their artwork when completing the application.
