Artist in Residency Program at The Factory on Willow

This is an opportunity for two emerging artists of any medium to seek inspiration and dive deeper into their current projects, themes, and practice over a three month seasonal tenure. 

The two Artists in Residence will benefit from their own furnished living and studio space right on site at the Factory on Willow in Manchester, NH.
