ARTIST RESIDENCY

ECOCA’s Keyhole Workspace Residency provides 3 artists with free studio space for 4 months followed by an exhibition. There are two cohorts per year: spring and fall. Each cohort receives studio visits from guest curators and artists, a small material stipend, and support from ECOCA’s staff. ECOCA provides access to handtools, a photo darkroom, and a small printing press.
