Artist Residency
Inquiry Form

If you have ideas, regardless of how formed they are, about coordinating an artist residency in partnership with the BU Arts Initiative, please share your thoughts with us.

Here is how we can help: As full partners we bring significant financial and human resources, and can negotiate, manage artist contract and payments, and coordinate with you to: seek additional funding/partners both on and off campus, schedule events (including set up), provide marketing and ticketing (for tracking purposes), and more. For examples of past residencies check out our webpage.

If you are considering a single arts event and need a limited amount of support, please look into our grant options.
