SPACE Residencies

“My time as a SPACE resident has truly allowed me to dream bigger than how I was dreaming prior. Having the SPACE program in my corner and as a resource has been incredibly rewarding and has enabled me to cast vision for what business looks like.”

“Being accepted in the program has allowed me to meet key art gate keepers here in Indianapolis. The most exciting parts of the program were the studio visits, and having the opportunity to get my work in front of curators and gallerists here in Indianapolis.”

“I’m looking forward to giving my art and the idea of an art business full credibility. A part of why it’s taken me years to understand that this is what I want to do is because it’s hard for me to believe that I can do it. Now, I’m starting to see how I can. I’m looking forward to the confidence I’m already developing. I’m growing.”

On early challenges in growing his business, Romanus Records: “Keeping up with demand, growth, and the need for more space. My family and I built a studio onto my home a couple of years ago that I work out of, but I’ve outgrown it pretty quickly. The Stutz space was a huge blessing.”

“As an artist and a business owner, I’ve learned how to prioritize my time to feed my creativity and strategically create. This residency program offers much-needed studio space, but it also includes opportunities, visibility, and mentorship to propel participants to the next level of their professional careers. Being in the Stutz…I’m surrounded and motivated by other creators. The Stutz is a collaborative community, a creative incubator which catalyzes growth.”
