OPEN CALL: ART & WATER MICRO RESIDENCY

An intimate residency supporting artists working at the intersection of creativity, environment, and community.

The Art & Water Micro Residency offers artists short-term use of the Art & Water Space in downtown Stillwater to develop new work, explore creative ideas, or engage deeply with place. Residents receive a small stipend, administrative support, and access to a flexible studio environment suited to installation, research, material exploration, listening practices, choreography, or multidisciplinary experimentation.

New for Spring/Summer 2026:
Each resident artist will culminate their time in the space with a public-facing gallery presentation or engagement during River Days of Action / Art Opener (June 5–7, 2026). This may take the form of an exhibition, installation, interactive experience, or other creative activation that invites community members into the artist’s process.

Residency Dates: May 9 – June 7, 2026
Length: 1–4 weeks, based on project needs
Who Should Apply: Artists from the Twin Cities metro and St. Croix River Valley; inquiries from Greater Minnesota and the Midwest welcomed.

As part of the residency, artists are required to host at least one public engagement activity—such as an open studio, workshop, performance, or facilitated conversation—making artistic inquiry accessible and participatory.

Rooted in A House Unbuilt’s values of whole-body listening and site-responsive creative practice, the Micro Residency supports artists whose work engages environment, ecology, movement, memory, or community storytelling.
