ASLD’s Visiting Artist Series (VAS) brings notable artists to Denver from across the world. These artists complement existing ongoing courses and workshops, diversify our programming to include new artistic perspectives and media, and broaden teaching practices to enrich and enliven our faculty.

The Visiting Artist of Color Residency is a new facet of the Visiting Artist Series, born of the recognition that artists of color have historically been excluded from many formal art spaces, including artist residencies. Building on this knowledge, ASLD’s VAC residency seeks to take an active role in fostering equity and supporting diversity in the Colorado arts community. Selected artists will be representative of the racial diversity within the Denver metro area and open to participating in activities (workshops, exhibits, community conversations) that address specific themes and issues affecting communities of color and artists of color. Each 6-9 month long residency offers the artist access to dedicated studio space at ASLD; the opportunity to lead workshops, lectures, and community engagement programs; and culminates with an exhibition of work created throughout the residency (this may be a solo or group exhibition, as determined by the artist). Each residency is tailored to the artist’s expertise and discipline.

The Artist-in-Residence (AIR) Program at Weir Farm NHP selects artists to spend up to one month living and working at the park. Visual artists apply for residencies in all media and diverse artistic points of view from traditional to experimental.

Duration: 2 weeks to 1-month long residency

Once Upon Water is a two-week art residency to create artworks about the material and magical notions of water. Water is in constant flow and yet may present itself as still ~ a mirror that mesmerizes. In this state its reflective surface invites gazing at our physical selves, but also beyond our bodies to contemplate both our inner experiences and relationships with the outer world. Water gushes from deep below earth’s crevices, falls from elevations and hovers in misty formations. It traverses time, shape-shifts as it slides through various spaces, and is one of Mother Nature’s greatest Sculptors. At once, water pours out of taps in developed countries as a banal occurrence, while women in developing countries trek miles to fetch it clean. Alarmingly, earth is under threat of losing all its sea ice this century, while future wars are predicted to be fought over water rather than oil. Yet, the world’s greatest religions say water holds the power to purify and renew.
