Their Published Description:
The spirit and programs of the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts are based on the conviction that exceptional talent deserves to be supported. Our practical commitment to this belief is achieved by providing well-equipped studio spaces, living accommodations and a monthly stipend to artists who are awarded residencies. These artists come from around the world to work within a supportive community of like-minded people. The atmosphere and environment offer an ideal situation for creative growth and experimentation and encourage artists to confront new challenges.

Editor’s  Comments:
This place is super kick ass. The only way I know to get a show here though is through the residency program or to be curated in to one of their fantastic programs. The residency program here is a 6 month total support residency with a studio, a place to live and a show of the work you make there. How cool is that. It doesn’t get any better than this. I have a really good friend going here next year, so its not a pipe dream.  If you make solid and interesting conceptual work which pushes the boundaries get in line for this one.
