The Alliance gives a collective voice on behalf of its members, small and large, that leverages support for the field as a whole; promotes successful practices in the field; and advocates for creative environments that support the work of today’s artists.

We advocate:

• on behalf of the field of artists’ residencies and creative environments in general, to funders, policymakers, researchers, and the public

We provide:

• a forum on support for today’s artists
• professional development opportunities to the field
• research and benchmarking data
• funding partnerships — bringing new financial resources to the field

We connect:

• our members to each other through networking opportunities
• artists, students, and others to information on artists’ residencies
• the field to other professionals in the arts, sciences and beyond
