ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE & AFFILIATE ARTIST PROGRAMS
The Center accepts submissions from emerging, mid-career and senior level artists. Local, regional, national and international artists are all eligible for the Artist-in-Residence Program. Only artists who live within a 50-mile radius of Charlotte are eligible for the Affiliate Artist Program. Former Affiliate Artists and Artists-in-Residence may resubmit; however, priority will be given to artists who have not been awarded residencies. Students may submit materials for these programs, but they must have completed graduation prior to the start of the residency. Please note, the Center does not accept electronic submissions at this time.
