Intersecting the fields of Ecotourism, Artist Residencies, & Indigenous Communities

Artist residencies are not generally considered as part of the ample field of tourism, despite their many touristic aspects. In general, you cannot pay and go. Artists must apply, their credentials and proposed projects are reviewed, and they are accepted or rejected. Then the financials are worked out. Some residencies charge variable fees. Many offer scholarships. Some pay renowned artists a fee. Residencies, also known as artist-in-residence programs, are opportunities given to artists to work on projects on-site, for a minimum of one week, often for one month, some extending to three months or even more, to develop new ideas, and explore their practice removed from the distractions of everyday life. Approximately 1,500 of these exist throughout the world.
