Aimed at emerging and mid-career artists, True/False Film Festival in Columbia, Missouri, is offering a five-week virtual Artist-in-Residency program culminating in the exhibition of art installations of the selected six-eight artists-in-residence during the four-day festival.
Selected artists will meet online for a weekly two hour group session starting in November 2023. These sessions will focus on developing community and connection, adding to your knowledge about the current art world, and supporting the delivery of your art installation for True/False.
The residency ends with the exhibition/installation of proposed art installations at True/False on February 29 – March 3, 2024.
