PLEASE NOTE: Registration for Touchstone's Residency Program is open only to those who have 1) submitted a program application through SlideRoom by the posted deadline date, 2) completed an interview with a Touchstone representative, AND 3) received approval from Touchstone to participate. STUDIO: Residency space is available in ceramics, small-metals, drawing/painting, writing, fibers, and other various mediums. Residents have access to a shared studio space within the discipline that they are invited to participate. Consumables (i.e. oxygen, propane, etc.) and materials (i.e. steel, clay, etc.) for personal production are the responsibility of the resident and will be charged at cost. For a list of equipment, contact Travis Winters at twinters@touchstonecrafts.org. Studios will be prepped and ready upon arrival and a general studio cleanup will be scheduled for all participants the day before departure. MEALS: Meals are not provided to Resident Artists, unless specified, throughout their stay on campus. Although Touchstone’s Dining Hall will be closed during the residencies, artists will have access to a fully equipped communal kitchen, grill, and dining area. Throughout the residency artists often come together and periodically plan group meals during their stay. Residents are encouraged to explore the beautiful Laurel Highlands area where Touchstone is located. There are multiple grocery stores and restaurants within a 15-20 min drive from Touchstone’s campus. Due to the rural location of Touchstone’s campus, it is strongly recommended that participants bring a car to the residency. LODGING: Private dorm lodging is included with the residency fee. A linen rental package can be provided at an additional cost of $50. CHECK IN/OUT: Residents must check in on May 18, between 12pm-4pm in Touchstone’s main lodge. All residents must be checked out by 11:00am on June 1 (Unless it has been discussed with and approved by Touchstone staff).
