Sometimes a single organization offers an entire ecosystem of opportunities, and this week we’re highlighting one such place in Red Wing, Minnesota. The center hosts a remarkable range of residencies, from early-career programs that support emerging voices to quiet winter retreats designed for focused, restorative work. It’s a great example of a residency hub offering a full menu of options for artists at different stages and with different needs.
The Anderson Center’s Winter Retreat offers 1–4 week, fee-based residencies for up to four artists seeking focused creative time in a historic setting. Visit the website for more information and to apply. Applications close when all slots are filled.
The Anderson Center’s 2026 residencies offer global artists in any discipline live/work space, community, and meals. Apply for June, July, August, or October sessions. Learn more at the website. Deadline is January 13.
