The first Virginia Artists in the Marketplace (VA-AIM) brought a cohort of eleven artists together during June 2018 and was a partnership between Arts Council of the Valley, Larkin Arts, Spitzer Arts Center, and studioELL. The residency combined a series of lectures, workshops, and seminars on a variety of professional practice topics.
The 2019 program will be presented in collaboration with Arts Council of the Valley, Blue Ridge Community College (BRCC) and studioELL. This second year will bring a new cohort together during the third week in May 2019 to dive deep into their studio practices and what it means to be a professional artist in today’s contemporary moment.
