Located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the Loghaven Artist Residency Program offers practicing artists of all backgrounds time and space to work in the creation stage of their specified project or work cycle.
Artists must be at least twenty-one years old and live more than 120 miles away from Knoxville. This distance requirement is designed to ensure that artists are able to be fully immersed in their residency experience and able to take advantage of the retreat-style environment.
Artists are chosen by a national selection committee composed of artist peers, curators, critics, and other arts professionals. Applicants are judged by the same criteria across disciplines. Panelists are looking for artistic excellence, depth of conceptual content, sustained impact, and boldness of vision. The panel also seeks those with a sophisticated technical knowledge, whether the applicant displays a high level of traditional skill or, conversely, subverts that knowledge in new or challenging ways. The panel values potential in emerging artists and evidence of commitment and evolution in more established or mid-career applicants.
Loghaven provides an $850 weekly living stipend, travel subsidy on a sliding scale from $400 to $800, and up to $200 in reimbursement for materials shipping. During the residency, Fellows have opportunities to connect with peers as well as other experts in their fields to build the relationships that can help nourish their careers.
