Lighthouse Immersive, the producers of Immersive Van Gogh, the visually striking exhibition captivating audiences with post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh’s incredible works of art, is inviting local area artists to apply to the Artist-In-Residence program in cities across the United States. Local artists can apply for the opportunity to create and cultivate work in a unique space over the course of a 4 to 6-week residency around the theme of well-known artists like Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, and Gustav Klimt. This is a wonderful paid opportunity for artists to build connections, expand creative networks, collaborate, and share work with other artists and the general public.
