Artists-in-Residence

ArtLab @ Mountain Lake Biological Station

Artist-in-Residence Application (due February 1)

 

Artists-in-Residence

The ArtLab Artists-in-Residence program began informally in 2013 when 13 artists were invited to stay at Mountain Lake for part of the summer. Artists were recruited from Virginia, nationally, and globally. Most stayed for about two weeks. The program has continued ever since. Six artists-in-residence are invited to live and work at MLBS alongside six undergraduate student artists from the University of Virginia, and a Lucile Walton Fellow. Residents share studio space. All studio fees, user fees, and housing costs are covered by the program. Artists-in-Residence pay only dining fees. The ArtLab program typically runs in early or mid July

Complete an application to be considered for the program. Deadline for applications is 11:59pm February 1, annually.
