The Two-Week Residency is a self-directed program designed to give artists uninterrupted time and space to focus deeply on their practice.

During the first week, artists work independently in their studios, free from scheduled commitments. In the second week, participants engage in a series of studio visits with leading arts professionals, including our visiting gallerist; Judy Barie, the Susan and John Turben Director of Chautauqua Visual Arts (CVA) Galleries; Erika Diamond, Associate Director of Galleries at Chautauqua Institution; and Erika b Hess, Artistic Director of Chautauqua Visual Arts.
