Are you interested in making work and a difference on the ground? The Artist-in-Residency program provides a safe and creative space, for up to one year, to artists looking to gain experience working on the ground in Ethiopia. Artists share their talent and creativity with AFC children.
Food, housing, and a workspace are provided to artists during their residency. Each artist is responsible for the cost of their travel, including airfare to and from Ethiopia.
We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. Please contact us for information on how to apply.
