This is a self-directed residency program designed for individuals who are ready to step further into their identity as an artist and who want the time and space to focus on their practice.
Artists will receive a $1,000 stipend to support living costs during the residency and up to $250 for supplies and materials.
To be eligible, artists must reside in one of the 18 counties of Southwestern Minnesota.
Four artists will be selected for this unique, close-to-home opportunity to focus on creative work, connect with a regional network of artists and community partners, and share their practice with friends, family, and neighbors through a public “artist salon” showcase.
Applications are due by Friday, November 20, 2026, at 11:59pm CST. Late applications will not be reviewed.
Virtual Information Session
A virtual information session about the RVR Artist Residency will be held on November 6, 2026, from 12–1 PM CDT.
A recording will be available on our website following the event.
