Main Line Art Center’s Residency for Artists with Disabilities provides local, emerging artists with space to work, mentorship, resources to create original artwork, and a public space to exhibit their artwork.
Residents work with a Teaching Artist Mentor to target artistic goals and have the opportunity to be a guest artist in our classes. Resident exhibitions will be held in the Center’s Welcome Gallery. Residents will also create a piece of art for the Center’s permanent collection at the culmination of their residency.
