The Chautauqua School of Art 2023 Residency Program has paused for the year. Applications for the 2024 residency program will open in Winter of 2023.

The School is an incubator of inclusive and expansive programming in the visual arts composed of workshops and one-on-one time with mentors covering all media. Open to artists aged 21+, we welcome an intergenerational experience. With guidance from eight esteemed mentors, we intentionally break apart the traditional methods that silo disciplines from each other and instead embrace a full range of studio and pragmatic studies including professional development for artists, the art of pedagogy, writing in the 21st century, archiving and the relevance of art history today.

Each season, Chautauqua Visual Arts Galleries host several curated exhibitions in Strohl Art Center, Fowler-Kellogg Art Center, and the Melvin Johnson Sculpture Garden on the beautiful grounds of Chautauqua Institution. The galleries and outdoor garden focus on an array of diverse contemporary exhibitions, created by some of the most outstanding visual artists working today. The galleries are a place to educate and inspire our audience on the importance of living with art, by exploring a vast range of visual vocabularies and a pure love of materials.
