2000 Innovation: Artist-run Residencies / Back To The Neighborhoods
Newer models of artist in residence programs include cooperation between local government zoning boards and a more capitalistic approach - see Village of the Arts, a planned, structured artist-in-residence in Bradenton, Florida, USA. In this model, artists live in homes with attached galleries. The home/gallery is located very near to other such residences/galleries creating a "community" of artists. Other models include galleries creating residency programs to support new work, artists opening their houses and studios to international guests, museums and universities creating exchange programs to stimulate their own programming, share resources and expand their networks.
