Residency, The Altos de Chavon Cultural Center Foundation, La Romana, Dominican Republic

The Altos de Chavon Cultural Center Foundation is a nonprofit educational and cultural
institution established in 1983. The Foundation offers three-and-one-half-month residencies to
emerging or established artists in all disciplines whose work will be enhanced by interaction with
a tropical Caribbean environment. A total of 15 international artists will be chosen for residency
during the year. Artists pay a nominal monthly rent for private accommodations, their own
airfare, and daily living expenses. Small individual studios are provided. Artist couples may
apply and children may accompany parents; pets are not permitted. Knowledge of Spanish is
helpful. Artist residents will exhibit or perform work created during the residency period. Each
artist will also donate to Altos de Chavon’s permanent collection a work produced during the
residency.
