Contemporary artist residencies are institutions or programs that enable artists to develop their practice beyond the confines of their typical work setting. Increasingly, they are also a means to access significant material, interpersonal, and professional resources, and a medium through which to engage with local communities. In response to these developments, the present interview-based study aims to understand how artists develop within a community context by investigating the work and experiences of eight artists who have participated in community-based residencies across—and sometimes beyond—the United States. By collecting each artist’s narrative and supplementing it with documents, images, and auto-reflections of their artwork, the study investigates the complex network of characteristics that help facilitate the creative process. Furthermore, by canvassing research from fields like social psychology, business management, and arts education, it explores the relations of educational reciprocity that emerge between artists and residency communities. This study suggests that the complex physical and interpersonal dynamics of each residency environment contributed in distinctive ways to the artists’ development. It also notes that each unique residency program provided support for the use of new materials, the exploration of new practices, and the investigation of new content. The residency characteristics that were most conducive to creative growth included (1) difference from one’s typical working environment; (2) access to new (and sometimes unconventional) materials, tools, and facilities; (3) social opportunities such as shared meals and public forums to cultivate relationships with residency cohorts; and (4) ample time (usually 1–2 months) and space (access to both private and public studios) to settle into the residency environment, explore one’s artistic practice (and the practice of other resident artists), and foster relationships among cohorts, staff members, and community visitors. Ultimately, this study argues that artist residencies can contribute to the field of non-formal art education by serving as a relational framework for artists and their residency communities.

The study sought to investigate the nature of learning that occurs in two different approaches (integrated and non-integrated) to an artist-in-residency program. The program was conducted in middle phase schooling, and adopted the principles of authentic learning. Two year five classes and their teachers participated in the study. The residency provided learning experiences that connected to the curriculum unit theme for one year five class (integrated), but not for the other year five class (non-integrated). These experiences were designed to relate to the learner's lived experiences and promote higher-order thinking processes. The study sought to explore the potential for visual arts residencies to foster more 'authentic' modes of learning. The study examined children's ability to transfer knowledge, gained through the visual and verbal analysis of images, by manipulating and integrating diverse information and ideas. Grounded Theory was deemed to be an appropriate research methodology for this study as it involves gathering data in field settings and applying inductive methods to analyze this data. Diverse data collection strategies were implemented including: teacher stories, interviews, student reflection, researcher observations and student artworks. LeximancerTM software was selected as an instrument for analyzing data. This software was considered appropriate as it fosters a descriptive and interpretive approach to analysis. The findings of the study indicated that children who participated in the integrated artist-in-school's curriculum program demonstrated more evidence of higher-order thinking processes than children who participated in the non-integrated program. The participants undertaking the integrated approach were able to establish relatively complex relationships between the central residency concepts, demonstrating an ability to use visual and verbal codes of communication to articulate their ideas, knowledge and experiences. A further important finding identified positive student behavioural outcomes, where the integrated residency approach appeared to connect group members as small supportive learning communities. The study also identified a transition in the teacher's perspectives on teaching and learning after participating in the integrated approach. This research project has significance both nationally and internationally by investigating current practices in artist-in-schools programs that both enhance and hinder educational outcomes. The study has significance to the broader educational community in terms of its focus on the role of visual arts specialist adjuncts in maximising learning outcomes. The findings of this study could provide insight into the interrelationship between visual arts and other curriculum areas to heighten student learning outcomes. The findings of the study illustrate how particular approaches to visual art in education can enhance children's learning and development. These insights can assist artists undertaking residencies in schools, and the teachers involved, to provide richer learning experiences. The findings provide ifirther evidence to support an approach that involves close collaboration between resident artists and educators. It is recommended that the residency learning experiences are connected to the children's lived experiences and that there is social support from teachers, parents and peers. It is also argued that for a residency to be considered 'authentic', the approach requires a number of essential and valuable attributes. These essential and valuable attributes have two tiers of application which coalesce to contribute to the efficacy of a school art residency.

This research will try to describe the reasons and motives which produce the programs of artist-in-residence (A.I.R) and international mobility by the phenomena of globalization with the four main bodies: the organization of operating residence program, art centre, artist, funding. Furthermore, the researcher will analyse the A.I.R. programs by three operating strategies: to set up the international cultural policy; to practie the international support and the fellowship; to establish the platform of international network. The exploration are as following: 1. To clarify the meaning and value of A.I.R and discuss the strategies and patterns. 2. According to the international A.I.R. and mobility programs. To examine and analysis the models of carrying out in other countries by the above three strategies. 3. To analyse and discuss the possibilities of A.I.R and Mobility program executed by Taiwan¡¦s Government , to suggest the operating prcedures and evaluation of official operation by Taiwan¡¦s government. Also, this research will take the operation of foreign examples as comparative cases and take their models to generalize the strategies and evaluations of official operation by Taiwan¡¦s government. These strategies are literature review, research in the internet, case studies, interview, fieldwork. Firstly, the literature review will include the evolution of artistic ecology for artists, the themes of A.I.R., and the tendency of globalization. Secondly, to analyze the operating strategies and provide the suggestion from the aspects of residence program, fellowship project, the scene of residence. Finally, the study will advise the official organizations, artists and art centre managers those who concern about the programs of A.I.R and International mobility as specific suggestion and strategies.

Väven grundar sig i nyfikenheten för vad som sker i konstnärernas ateljéer och utforskandet i hur ett rum som ofta upplevs som slutet kan vävas samman med aktiviteten i ett hus för folket.  Projektet är placerat söder om Ösmo i Nynäshamns kommun och innefattar ett konsthantverkscentrum där konstnärer får utrymme att producera, leva och lära i samverkan med publika rum och husets besökare. I programmet ryms  konstnärsbostäder för de 12 residerade konstnärerna och deras familjer, verkstäder inom keramik, textil, glas, metall, trä samt två skrivarstugor. Verkstäderna är ständigt närvarande i gestaltningen och har utformats för att låta besökare ta del av konstnärernas arbete, både visuellt och aktivt genom utbildningslokaler, galleri och butik. Syftet med projektet Väven är därmed att undersöka hur ett konsthantverkscentrum som både är utformat för utövarna och besökarna kan se ut samt hur konsten via projekt som dessa kan nå nya grupper och skapa mervärde till en plats. / The project aims to investigate how a house for culture, with a focus on arts and crafts, can be combined and integrated with a house for the people, and to explore how art and culture can reach new groups in smaller cities through projects like this.

Esta pesquisa analisa a residência artística pelo atravessamento de três conceitos principais: espaço, tempo e interlocução, vistos como aspectos fundamentais nos programas inseridos dentro do campo da arte contemporânea. Para tanto, foi previsto um percurso histórico que apresenta a sua formação, como sendo um lugar que oferece espaço e tempo para que o artista possa trabalhar de forma imersiva em seus projetos. Além da experiência do deslocamento do antigo ao novo contexto, as residências costumam propiciar diálogo entre os artistas durante suas estadias, promovendo, assim, uma rede de contatos. Como uma forma de entender também o objeto de estudo dentro da realidade brasileira, foram pesquisadas iniciativas no País. Resultante disso, percebeu-se a recorrência de um diferencial afinado com as reflexões da arte contemporânea e disponibilizado aos residentes: o acompanhamento crítico, realizado de forma sistemática por diferentes profissionais do campo da arte. A existência dessa prática apontou a necessidade de um aprofundamento nessa etapa da pesquisa, sendo consultados tanto artistas quanto críticos e curadores para levantar um conjunto de percepções individuais. As informações foram obtidas com o auxílio de entrevistas e enquetes qualitativas. Ainda, visando ampliar as discussões sobre a presença dessa atividade, os depoimentos foram confrontados com os conceitos de espaço, tempo e interlocução, apresentados por outros autores, entre eles, Gaston Bachelard, André Comte-Sponville e Maurice Blanchot. Por fim, foi possível concluir algumas considerações relevantes sobre a presença dessa atividade reflexiva nos programas de residência artística da atualidade. / This research analyzes the artistic residence through the crossing of three main concepts: space, time and interlocution, seen as fundamental aspects in the programs inserted within the field of contemporary art. For that, it was foreseen a historical course that presents its formation, as being a place that offers space and time for the artist to work of immersive mode in his projects. In addition to the experience of the displacement between the old and the new context, the residences usually provide dialogue among the artists during their stays, thus promoting a network of contacts. As a way of understanding also the object of study within the Brazilian reality, initiatives were researched in the Country. Resulting from this, it was noticed the recurrence of a differential attuned to the reflections of contemporary art was made available to residents: the critical support by different professionals in the field of art. The existence of this practice pointed to the necessity of a deepening in this stage of the research, being consulted as much artists as critics and curators to raise a set of individual perceptions. The information, was obtained with the aid of interviews and surveys. Aiming to broaden the discussions about the presence of this activity, the statements were confronted with the concepts of space, time and dialogue, presented by other authors, among them Gaston Bachelard, André Comte- Sponville and Maurice Blanchot. Finally, it was possible to conclude some relevant considerations about the presence of this reflexive activity in the programs of artistic residence of the present time.

This research which taking the "Artists Community"(Arts Village) of Taiwan as a case study refers to the management in pattern of American Artists Communities and visits each place of Arts Villages in Taiwan for understanding the present situation and also having a profound talk with artists, administrators, scholars and so on.
