In an inspirational setting removed from the distractions of daily life, CIAR’s Fall Residency Program offers visual artists focused time and a uniquely supportive environment to develop their work. On a small island off the coast of Massachusetts, CIAR hosts a group of twelve artists, who are invited to use the island itself as their studio. Living together in the historic Avalon Inn, the residents have uninterrupted time to become immersed in their creative process. Many use the time to reflect, learn from one another, and find inspiration from their costal surroundings. Residents build insight and camaraderie as they sit down to meals together, cooked by CIAR's wonderful chef. Click on the links below to learn more about the residency and how to apply.
In 2024, Duke Riley will deliver the Visiting Artist talk and Dr. Katie Castagno will join as our first Visiting Scientist, to create interdisciplinary dialogue and to explore Cuttyhunk through an ecological and climate-based lens.
Please note that, given the ongoing uncertainty of Covid-19 and the communal setting at CIAR, we require all participants to be fully vaccinated and boosted before attending the residency. We will continue to follow the CDC and Massachusetts recommendations as the pandemic evolves, and we will update participants if there are any changes.
