Local, National, & International Artists
Local Artists
While the CAC residency programs have only been open to visiting artists in the past, we would like to begin our new facility in Troy with an invitation to local artists who would like to apply to our program for 3-12 months. All artists within 45 miles are able to receive an automatic 50% award toward cost of the residency.

Our residency program features high-ceiling, adaptable studio space open 24 hours a day with some specialized facilities, exhibition space, computer room, and free access to all CAC events. The living area includes lofted bedrooms, large living room, library, dining room, and kitchen & bath.
National and International Artists:
Residencies happen year round and can be as long as 6 months. The residencies are artist scheduled and can begin and end on any Saturday. There will be a weekly orientation at 10am Saturday for an introduction to studios, staff and the city of Troy. |

The residency includes use of all CAC studios and equipment. Specialized facilities will include*:
- video/sound lab
- woodshop
- ceramic studio
- sewing/fabric room
- plein air painting and drawing huts
- and limited printmaking facilities
Additionally a small gallery will be kept unscheduled in order to allow artists who are working here to propose and put on exhibitions.
*Our specialized studios are being added throughout 2008-2009. Please inquire as to their availability if you are interested in a specific medium.
Time spent at the CAC allows artists to revitalize their ideas, develop their work, meet peers and explore new options. During a summer residency, artists also have the opportunity to participate in other CAC programs, including residency exhibitions, studio and museum visits, workshops, demonstrations and artist's lectures.
