Abbey Foundation for the Arts
Artist in Residence Program
Space to Create
It all begins with an idea.
At The Abbey Foundation, we understand the difficulties artists face. Maybe you are new to the arts, or need a new venue to explore another concept. We offer grants to local artists for our day use studio program in Boonville, CA
The Abbey Foundation offers a unique artist-in-residence studio space designed to foster creativity and innovation across multiple disciplines. We provide grants to support artists in their projects, enabling them to explore new ideas and develop their work in a nurturing environment. Our facilities offer resources and tools, allowing residents to focus on their artistic processes without the distractions of everyday life. Our goal is to develop a collaborative community, mentorship opportunities, and access to expert guidance. We aim to empower artists at various stages of their careers while promoting diverse artistic expressions.
Building on the local Arts Community with additional space and room for creativiy
Equipment plays a critical role in the creative process for artists, serving as the tools that translate vision into reality. Whether it's paintbrushes for a painter, cameras for a photographer, or software for a digital artist, the right equipment can enhance the quality of work and facilitate exploration across various mediums. Investing in high-quality tools not only improves the end product but also fosters an environment where creativity can flourish. For artists in residence at Abbey Foundation, access to specialized equipment can be pivotal, allowing them to experiment and push the boundaries of their craft, ultimately leading to innovative and engaging art.
We currently have a large format etching and monotype press along with printmaking supplies and equipment. Painting, photography, storytelling, writing, and sculpture are all within reach. As our program grows, we will add equipment for other mediums.
