The TROY Artist Residency gives artists who are from Alabama or have Alabama influence an opportunity to work and create. The residency is being hosted in the Department of Art & Design at Troy University. This program is funded through assistance from the Alabama State Council on the Arts.

The residency is held in the spring semester of each year. We provide financial support for the artist as well as studio space and access to departmental facilities and equipment. This includes (but is not limited to): darkroom, 3d printers, laser cutter, CNC Router, ceramics facility and kilns, printmaking lab, etc.

Visiting Artists are invited to campus for shorter periods, usually one week or less. The goal is to create an environment of workshops, artist talks, guest curators, studio visits, and student portfolio reviews, among other activities.

Our residencies are designed for artists with strong Alabama ties, and we welcome artists from all over the world to submit applications for our shorter engagements.

In addition to our residency, we also offer opportunities for Visiting Artists to engage in programming for our Fall & Spring Arts Series.

We look forward to hearing from all applicants, and we appreciate your support of and participation in creativity, connectivity, and exploration.
