Mission Statement:

In our applicant selection process we endeavor to pick residents who are experienced artists with unusually creative or expressive directions.  When this special group of individualists come together, magic surfaces as exploration and invention become the norm.

We acknowledge artistic need for a creative environment in which to work and healthy professional dialogue, supportive of one's aesthetic direction(s).

Recognizing and encouraging unique artistic direction, The Sodus Art Bank Residency offers an exceptional opportunity to work with a small but select group of artists - mutually dedicated to the advancement of personal expressive directions and emerging artistic identities.
