Museums Or Art Galleries That Also Include Artist Live And Work Space?
Looking for examples of places where an artists culture is created through providing a place to live, work and present work. Also places where the public can go to view art while giving the artists publicity and the visitors a chance to learn about how the art was created.
Hi! There is a fantastic book out called, “The 100 Best Art Towns in America: A Guide to Galleries, Museums, Festivals, Lodging and Dining,” Fourth Edition (Paperback)
by John Villani (Author).
It can be previewed and purchased on Amazon:http://www.amazon.com/100-Best-Art-Towns…
I highly recommend this book as it has helped me find exactly where I will be relocating to next: Berea, Kentucky; the art capital of Kentucky.

The Anderson Museum in Roswell NM is a prime example of “Artist in Residence” programs. The artist live in the space provided (it is not always right at the studio, but maybe downthe street or withing walking distance) There is usually a small stipend offered as well as the housing and the residence is for one year, with the artist expected to produce about 20 or so works to show at the end of the residency. The show for Anderson artists is at the Roswell Museum. Excellent program and very professional. This museum is wonderful (amazing for the small area, but htere is plenty of money here from the tourism taxes to support it)
There are places like this all the country and in other countries as well. You can find them on the internet as well as looking in art magazines like “Art In America” “Art News” Sculpture
google “artist residency” or “artist residency opportunities”.
Most residencies are designed to do exactly what you ask. Though often the emphasis is often also on sharing space and ideas with other artists on the same residency program.
