Resident artists are provided with a private studio (@ 8' x 10'), 24/7 access to the Center and use of all studio equipment. They also receive 500 lbs of free clay and firing fees, can participate in a closing show in the District Clay Gallery (currently closed due the pandemic). Each resident artist receives a stipend of $900/month. In return, resident artists are asked to assist at the Center for 20 hours per week in a key management/supervisory positions. Income producing opportunities include teaching specialized classes at the Center, producing a workshop and teaching weekly classes. We have a profit sharing arrangement for workshops and intensive classes. This program is best suited to artists who thrive in a dynamic community environment and enjoy working collobaratively on Center activities. If you have questions about the program, please send an email to Cass Johnson (cass (at) districtclaycenter.com). DC has a reputation for high rental prices. But that's not so true for where the DCC is located. For some help in avoiding housing shock, please click here. To apply to become a DCC resident artist, go here.

Sharing the Knowledge Resident Artists are expected to be collaborative in nature, to work with DCC artists, give a lecture to our students on their work and they will also have the opportunity to hold an exhibition in the DCC Gallery at the end of their session. Teaching specialized classes or creating a workshop are an option if income producing activities are of interest.
