Homeowners who become artist members of our nonprofit organization have a unique opportunity to play a vital role in fostering a vibrant and inclusive community for resident artists.
Homeowners serve as resident advisors, interacting with resident members on a daily basis and facilitating a supportive and collaborative environment. Their passion for building inclusive community is central to their role as they assist residents in navigating the specifics of the property and act as liaisons between residents and the nonprofit for daily matters. Daily responsibilities are small, ensuring that homeowners can balance their duties with their own artistic pursuits.
Homeowners are responsible for coordinating with resident members and the nonprofit organization on property-related issues, maintenance needs, repairs, renovations, and improvements. While compensation is not provided in rent money, homeowners are reimbursed for eligible expenditures related to property maintenance and improvements made for the benefit of the residency.
Financial compensation for homeowners is provided in the form of reimbursement for approved maintenance, repairs, renovations, and improvements to the property. All expenditures are subject to board review, and any expenses over certain limits require pre-approval. Homeowners may also be eligible for reimbursement for repairs to prepare the property for resident activity, with larger repairs potentially requiring longer commitments to the program.
Property owners may choose their property's participation in the Shared Effort Initiative, where residents actively participate in maintaining our shared space while earning credits towards their residency costs. This initiative encourages residents to step into our vibrant community, where artists come together to support one another and nurture creativity. Join us in fostering a collaborative environment where everyone plays a vital role in shaping our collective experience.
Homeowners with a passion for fostering community and supporting artists are invited to join our artist residency program. Together, participants can create a welcoming and inspiring environment where artists can thrive and create meaningful work.
