The Hermitage Retreat: State Teacher Art Residency
Florida Alliance for Art Education
Deadline for submission is April 15, 2021

The star program is designed to honor and nourish the artist in the educator by providing five public school educators from Florida with the opportunity to pursue their artistic work in the inspiring environment of the prestigious Hermitage Artist Retreat.  Two-week residencies will be offered to visual artists, composers, choreographers, writers, or any other artistic endeavor that can be supported within the physical surroundings of the Hermitage. 
The Hermitage Residency is a gift of time and space for artists to attend to their work.  There is no requirement to produce.  It is intensely personal time for concentration AND a community of artists from different disciplines with which to share and learn.  Artists invited seize the opportunity and find themselves more productive than at any other time in their creative lives.
