DO:
Research the residency you are applying for and include specifics about why that residency is a good fit for you.

DON'T:
Submit poor quality images of your work! You could be the best artist in the world, and if your documentation is poor, your application will not be strong.

DO:
Take advantage of any office hours and info sessions the residency has available.

01 / NARRATIVE
Consistency over variety. Your portfolio should tell a story of your artistic development, not just a collection of random works.

02 / CONTEXT
Be specific in your statement. Explain why your work is relevant right now and how it fits the gallery's DNA.

03 / SPACE
Show the scale in a physical space.
Galleries need to see how the art lives in a real room, not just on a screen.
