Residency Dates: September 13-21, 2025

This 9 day residency prioritizes torch time and bombarding training. Projects are self lead with technical assistance from facilitators KCJ Szwedzinski and Megan Stelljes with support from Dani Kaes. As neon practitioners and educators, we have noticed a significant lack of opportunity for continuing education within neon. This residency may be a good fit for you if: you may have some neon experience but are looking for more, are an artist who has an idea for neon but not access, want to become proficient at bombarding or any other aspect of neon.
The price for 9 days is $1932. This includes studio rental, bombarding, housing, meals and 20 pounds of glass and 15 pairs of electrodes per person. We have successfully secured $6,000 in donations to help offset the cost of the residency and we are continuing to look for funding with the goal of raising more. There is a possibility the cost will be lower, should this be the case we will be in touch with details.
