Chautauqua Visual Arts is proud to host two distinct residency experiences; our Faculty Led Six-Week Residency and the Self-directed Two-Week Residency with Studio Visits.

The Faculty Led Six-Week Residency is for emerging artists and features top visiting faculty who lead classes, lectures, and critiques—offering an immersive, structured program with professional mentorship.

The Self-directed Two-Week Residency with Studio Visits is a self-directed program, providing artists with time and space to focus on their practice, complemented by studio visits during the second week.

Both residencies provide studio space, a vibrant community of artists, and access to world-class lectures and performances at Chautauqua.
