Become an Organization in Residence
18th Street Arts Center’s Organization in Residence Program invites art organizations to become “anchor tenants” that help to define the character and scope of the organization through programmatic partnerships and community-building. Many of our current organizations in residence have been with the organization since it was founded in 1988, but spaces do occasionally open up. This program is by invitation only.

For its Organizations in Residence program, 18th Street Arts Center seeks to work with artistic organizations whose practices relate to our organization’s mission statement, which is to “provoke public dialogue through contemporary art making.” Organizations are prioritized who can help broaden our reach within diverse communities and who can potentially partner in upcoming programming initiatives.
