2024 UETF Resiliency Residency

The UETF Resiliency Residency Program is a self-paced, “at-home” residency that encourages artists of all mediums and disciplines to play, experiment, research, and create. Developed as a response to COVID-19’s impact on the Albuquerque Arts Community, the Urban Enhancement Trust Fund staff and committee created a program that was as fluid and adaptable as the times it was developed in. Artists who receive the Residency are invited to use the funds to further their artistic practice and are asked to show a public presentation of the work at some point in the Residency period.

Projects are encouraged, but not required, to be completed at the end of the Residency period, and artists are invited to use funds as part of a larger grant, as leverage to get more funding, as intermediary funding between larger project phases, or as they see fit. In essence, this residency program is a way for artists to receive much needed funding with total trust from the funding organization that the money will be used to further their artistic careers, with recognition of the importance of putting money directly in the hands of artists.
