Dedicated to fostering new interactions between artists, creative communities, and the public, The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts provides artists across all disciplines with space, tools and a cooperative forum for the development of individual practice. Its core offerings include the Studio Program, which provides under market studio spaces to regional artists through an open call, fee-free application; the Project Space, a curator- and artist-led exhibition platform established in 2008; and the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop, a facility that houses a full service printshop, community workshops, and exhibitions. Alongside these programs, the SHIFT Residency for Arts Workers supports artists who also work as administrators and educators in the art world, enabling them to advance their practices through free studio space, a career development curriculum, critiques, studio visits, honoraria and production fees, and a final exhibition.
