Every year KIRA awards 6 artists with a multi-week residency. Artists are provided with individual studio space, comfortable housing, two meals each day and live on a historic property in a beautiful seaside town.

Artists from all levels in their career who exhibit a strong professional work ethic and a collaborative attitude are encouraged to apply.
