Residency Acquittal

This acquittal is a chance to reflect on your residency as a whole. We’re interested in what you explored, what worked, and what didn’t.

You can include any shifts in your ideas, challenges you ran into, or moments where you had to adapt or ask for support. Don’t just focus on outcomes — the process is just as important.

Detailed, honest responses help us understand what artists need and improve future programs, as well as report back to our supporters.
