We are wrapping up our Art Residency here at the Thrive Together Network, and we are thinking of ways your art residency is going to live on and help you throughout the year to come. Today on Episode #66 of the Thriving Artists Podcast, 5 Ways to Wrap Up An Art Residency Powerfully we will share tips that will help you make the most of your experience and ensure a smooth transition back into your regular artistic practice. So, whether you've done the Thrive Together Network Virtual Art Residency this month or you're planning to apply for one in the future, this episode is for you.   Jamie and Kaylan’s 5 Ways to Wrap Up an Art Residency Powerfully are: Reflect on Your Residency Journey: Consider the goals you set at the beginning of your residency, the challenges you faced, and the growth you've achieved. Journaling or creating a visual diary can be a powerful way to document your thoughts and feelings. Reflecting on your journey will not only provide closure but also offer valuable insights for your future artistic endeavors.  Organize and Archive Your Work: Take high-quality photographs, document any installations, and categorize your sketches or studies. This process will not only help you preserve your work but also create a portfolio or documentation for future exhibitions or applications. Connect with Fellow Artists: You’ve met so many amazing artists at your residency, so make sure to keep in touch! Building a strong network within the artist community can open doors to new opportunities and provide a support system throughout your career. Share your Experience: Consider writing a blog post, Instagram reel, or even organizing a small exhibition to showcase the work you created during your residency. Sharing your experience not only helps you process and internalize the residency but also allows others to gain insights and learn from your artistic journey. Make a Plan to Get Feedback: Set up an artist date or studio visit. Or join something more formal like a crit program.vHaving a plan to get feedback helps you continue on powerfully even after the residency is over and will push the work even further.    If you joined us for our first residency of 2024 this month, we loved having you and hope this helps you build on your work!
