Artillery Residency

Artillery Residency is an independent arts organization that supports the creation and dissemination of contemporary art through its art residency program. Artillery provides a temporary residence for invited artists to conduct research and produce work. The residency is a 1920's bungalow located in the Historic Kenwood neighborhood of St. Petersburg, Florida. Known as the "Neighborhood of the Arts,” Kenwood has an active Artist Enclave, where local artists contribute to community programming throughout the year. St. Petersburg, nicknamed the “Sunshine City” or simply “The Burg,” is home to a beautiful natural landscape, located on a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides. In addition, St. Pete has a thriving local art scene consisting of a diverse array of museums, collectives, art organizations, festivals, and galleries.
