Bernheim Arbortetum gives artists the opportunity to live and create site specific work inspired by their total immersion experience in the natural environment. Artists receive rustic housing, access to studio space, financial and staff support for the development of new, site-specific work.
For over four decades, the Artist in Residence program has attracted artists from around the world who seek to use Bernheim as their inspiration. Located in Clermont, Kentucky, and established in 1980, Bernheim’s Artist in Residence Program annually awards artists the opportunity to live and create site specific work inspired by their total immersion experience in the natural environment. This internationally renowned program has hosted a multitude of sculptors, photographers, painters, printmakers, installation artists, videographers, and sound artists, as well as contemporary explorations of nature through science, sense and digital mediums.
Up to 4 artists are selected for residencies at Bernheim on an annual basis with a stipend of $2500.
