visiting artist

The Visiting Artist Residency is a year-long commitment to honoring the artist's vision and needs, providing a sanctuary for creative exploration, collaboration and growth. These residencies are curated from our Network and offers artists the freedom to pursue their passions—whether experimenting with new techniques, engaging with the local community or collaborating with peers—without constraint.

This residency offers tailored resources and support to help advance an artist’s career and practice. Through partnerships with organizations across the country, Sibyls Shrine connects artists with opportunities that align with their needs and aspirations. Whatever the artist envisions, our team is committed to making it happen.

  • 1 year of radical care, rest and support

  • an unrestricted honorarium
