Other Information/Requirements: 

The Roswell Artist-in-Residence Foundation seeks a leader to steward a nearly 60-year-old artist-in-residence program and a museum devoted to the work of the more than 300 artists who have passed through it. RAiR, called “the gift of time,” offers six artists each year a house, a studio, and a stipend to follow their creative pursuits in Roswell for a twelve-month period.
