The Community Fine Arts Center in Rock Springs is seeking proposals for its inaugural artist residency, to take place for one week between July and September 2022. Situated in southwest Wyoming, Rock Springs has a long and rich history. Most well known for playing a significant role in powering the country, Rock Springs is also conveniently located near many natural wonders, including the famed Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area.

The purpose of this residency is to afford artists from outside the community a chance to live and work in Rock Springs, to engage with its history and culture, and to develop a greater awareness and appreciation of what the area has to offer. Additionally, this residency will help the Community Fine Arts Center fulfill its commitment to serve as a cultural hub, expose the community to a diverse range of artists, and generally be a "cultural oasis" in southwest Wyoming’s high desert country.

The program offers a 1 week residency to artists. A $1000 stipend, a local AirB&B, and studio space will be provided. Artist must provide his or her own transportation. All expenses for travel to and from the residency will be at the artist’s expense. Artists will be responsible for their food, personal expenses, art supplies.
