Living Facilities
Currently we have a duplex immediately adjacent to the Art Association campus, each unit has two bedrooms and one bath. The building can accommodate four individual artists, more when couples or collaborative teams share studio or bedroom spaces. Each space allows for each artist to have a bedroom for sleeping and a second room as a workspace. Each unit is modestly furnished with beds, dressers, tables, chairs, sofas, etc. Kitchens include stoves and refrigerators, plus microwaves and coffee makers. There is a washer/dryer in the basement for both units to share. Basic linens, cookware, utensils, dishes and flatware are also provided. WiFi is included, no telephone landline service is provided.
Studio Facilities
Studio spaces will be assigned to each artist based on individual needs. Modestly furnished work spaces will be located throughout the neighborhood, sometimes shared, sometimes individual. We will work with you to provide the features and furnishings you need to work. In addition, every resident artist will have access to the labs and studios at the Springfield Art Association (their studio facilities include the Condell Studio, Springfield’s best naturally lit 2D facility; a Smith and Nickelson Metals and Jewelry Studio; Mixed Media Studio; Papermaking Studio; Prairie Earth and Fire Ceramics Studio; Baima Glass Studio; and Mac Computer Lab).

Gallery Facilities
Artists will have the opportunity to exhibit their work while in their residency. Potential gallery facilities include the Springfield Art Association’s M.G. Nelson Family Gallery, SAA Collective Gallery, and University of Illinois Springfield Visual Arts Gallery. DSI storefronts may be available for short term popup exhibitions.
Teaching Opportunities
Opportunities abound for teaching at the SAA. The annual class schedule offers four eight-week sessions, weekend workshops, summer art camps, and special events. Resident artists will be allowed to offer classes of their own design in the media of their choice as well as opportunities to fill SAA teaching needs as they emerge. Teaching can be traded to cover the residency fees.
