Art Start’s Emerging Artist Residency (EAR) is a 7-8 month program wherein creatives ages 16-24* years with innate artistic talent explore, learn, and grow into their own place in the creative arts industries. Emerging Artists develop creatively, personally, and professionally via workshops, special arts and networking opportunities, career-centered travel, community studio time, and more. Emerging Artists are eligible to earn a weekly stipend for their dedication to the program and full participation in residency activities, including showcasing their portfolio during Art Start's Annual Spring Retrospective in April 2026.
