“The Deaf Artists Residency Program first launched in June 2014 (supported by an Art Works grant from the National Endowment for the Arts). It is a program of the Anderson Center at Tower View—a multidisciplinary artist community and residency center. It is a month-long residency involving a mix of visual artists, writers, performers, and scholars. The common thread among them all is that they are deaf, with American Sign Language (ASL) being their native or adoptive language. Currently, the program is being offered every two years with June 2016 being the second round. With demand being high, we hope to soon be able to offer the program annually.”
