Why: Our first Artist-in-Residence cohort served as an important pilot program and trial phase created to help the thems. phoenix team thoughtfully shape and refine the residency experience. Through guidance, feedback, and intentional trial-and-error, our inaugural residents collaborated closely with thems. staff to build a responsible, and worthwhile experience for future artists.

Our goal is to continue developing the program into an enduring space for artists to deepen their art practice while engaging and supporting the local queer community through community-driven programming across Phoenix, AZ and alongside partner organizations.
