ACRE Announces 2021 Artist Residents


Update / 5.29.21

71 artists from across the country converge in the Driftless region of Southwest Wisconsin to pursue emerging practices as part of ACRE's summer residency program. 

Chicago, IL, May 11, 2021—Artists’ Cooperative Residency & Exhibitions (ACRE), an artist-run non-profit that provides emerging artists with an accessible, equitable, and interdisciplinary residency and exhibitions program, is excited to announce the 71 artists attending this year's summer residency program in Steuben, Wisconsin.  

After the deferment of the 2020 residency due to COVID restrictions, ACRE will safely return to its home and welcome artists to make, think, and create in community again. The residency has been expanded to 5 sessions this year and will run from June 1-September 5.

We will also welcome back our talented cohort of volunteer staff to drive innovative new programming at the residency. These artists lead the residency studio areas and share their expertise, mentor, collaborate, and shape the ACRE experience for residents. 

After a year of distanced programs ACRE looks forward to offering a vital space for artists to connect with peers and collaborators, to experiment and learn from one another, and to support each other, as we build the communities that we need to sustain our practices and create our futures together.
