Abstract
This paper uncovers how rural artist colonies operate and challenges facing their efficacy. 8 case studies of colony style artist residencies across the continental US illustrate programs, staff structures, institutional finances and organizational change. This paper offers a snapshot of contemporary practices in a growing niche of cultural work- the artist residency program- from an administrator perspective. Conversations emerge pertaining to cultural exchange between rural communities and global participants, arts and culture funding in low population areas, and strategies to create community stories of organizational growth and change. Analyses discuss commonalities across programs, and pose questions raised by interview subjects for future research in the field of Arts Administration.
