The Roswell Artist-in-Residence Foundation is inviting applications for the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program (RAiR). Conceived by businessman and artist Donald B. Anderson in 1967, the RAiR program seeks to enhance the cultural environment of Roswell and southeastern New Mexico by bringing artists of national importance to live and work in the tranquility of the high plains.
The program provides gifted studio-based visual artists with a unique opportunity to concentrate on their work in a supportive, collegial environment for an entire year. This "gift of time" allows artists to work without distraction as they strive to break new ground and focus on their individual goals. Artists may be involved in painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, photography, installation, and other fine art media.
