Teen Arts Residency 2024

Wow! What an electrifying journey it’s been for these young, vibrant artists! ENU Builds, in collaboration with the amazing Bethany, has truly sparked a revolution by establishing a residency for the most dynamic and promising high school artists from various disciplines.

In the year 2024, ENU Builds, together with BAC, launched an inaugural Teen Residency that spanned from Friday, February 23 to Sunday, February 25. This was not just any residency; it was a whirlwind of pure, unbridled creativity!

Our Teen Residents were immersed in an environment pulsating with creative energy, thanks to the local studio artists, the dedicated BAC staff and board members, and all those who brought their programs to life on campus.

These budding artists dove headfirst into their chosen mediums, with the freedom to explore and create something truly unique. They were not alone in this artistic endeavor; they had the guidance of mentors—seasoned artists who have walked the path they aspire to tread. These mentors shared their wisdom on not just artistry but also on navigating the intricate maze of building a successful career in the arts.

Questions were asked, answers were found, and dreams were nurtured as these young talents learned about the ‘business side’ of their passion.

And let’s not forget the practicalities—room & board and a studio tailored to their artistic needs were all part of the package, ensuring that their creative process was as smooth as their imagination was boundless.

Bethany Arts Community (BAC) offers residencies to emerging and established artists for the development of both new works and works-in-progress.
