Are you interested in expanding your creative practice through material exploration and collaboration? Join us for a virtual information session to learn about the 2025 Virginia A. Groot Material Exploration Residency, a unique opportunity hosted by the Center for Craft.

This 8-week residency is at the Center for Craft’s Ideation Lab in downtown Asheville, North Carolina, and connects our four residents with makers and resources in Western North Carolina. Residents will partner with a local craft organization to explore new materials and develop reciprocal relationships, networks, and creative collaborations. During the info session, you will receive guidance on the application process, gain insights into the residency’s goals, and have the chance to ask our team questions directly.

Residency Benefits Include:

  • $10,000 honorarium
  • Daily access to  a studio space
  • Flex Desk Cowork pass
  • A facilitated partnership with a regional craft space
  • Exhibition in the Bresler Family Gallery at the Center for Craft.

This opportunity is open to previous Virginia A. Groot awardees or honorable mentions AND  craftspeople from Western North Carolina.

The information session will be recorded. A copy of the recording will be sent to all who register and made available on the Center for Craft’s website.
