Founded in 2013 and now in its tenth year, The StudioWorks Artist-in-Residence Program at the Tides Institute & Museum of Art (TIMA) offers residency opportunities to visual artists from the U.S. and abroad to deepen and develop their practice within a community setting. Our studios, museum and housing are located within the historic downtown and working waterfront of Eastport, Maine and overlook the U.S./Canada boundary.
The StudioWorks program mission, supported by two national awards from ARTPLACE and many additional funders, is to place the arts in the center of the community, utilizing the arts and artists to foster, engage, and create a vital and vibrant downtown. A StudioWorks residency provides an artist with a unique experience to play an active role in our creative community and region through socially engaged projects, educational outreach or public programming. So far, 71 artists from 18 different states and three foreign countries have participated in the program.
Housing for visiting artists is provided in two adjacent buildings, the GAR Hall / Royal Art Lodge and the Rathlin House, located one block away from StudioWorks and the museum.
Duration of residency
Most artists attend for a 4-week term, but we also offer 8-week terms for art education outreach.
Accommodation
StudioWorks has two housing options for artists: in a shared house (private bedroom/private bathroom) or in a private ground floor open-plan private apartment in historic building.
Specific housing details, including a list of provided items and items to bring, will be provided to artists awarded residencies. Meals are not provided. Housing locations are adjacent to each other, and located two blocks from StudioWorks and the North Church Project Space.

In 2022, residencies will also be awarded to craftspeople working in wood, metal, fibers, ceramics or letterpress.

Expectations towards the artist
StudioWorks is committed to the community and our central downtown location is key to making studios open for public engagement. Artists are expected to schedule regular open hours during their residency term or be accessible in other ways in the community. In addition, all StudioWorks artists participate in an online or in-person artist talk/ open studio during their last week in residence. These details will be reviewed with artists-in- residence before their term begins. Artists who seek solitude and privacy may not be well suited to the StudioWorks program. Participating artists need to have a working English fluency.
Application information
Application requirements include a 1-2 page written proposal; survey about availability; a current CV, resume or biographical statement; contact information for 3 references; up to 10 images of recent artwork with title, size, media information listed, or media uploads or links to film/video or audio. This outline of requirements is also available online on the Submittable application site as is suggested file names and accepted formats for uploads. Successful proposals include a detailed description of the work to be done during the residency. Artists are expected to be able to realize their proposal on their own, whether the work is experimental or based on studio practice, and should be skilled in the use of materials or tools needed. There is a $25 fee to apply. Application fees go towards compensating jurors for their time reviewing applications and offset the cost of the application software. StudioWorks operates on a modest budget and prioritizes supporting artists with stipends in addition to providing studio and housing at no cost during residency terms.
