About the Residency

The Foundation encourages others to nurture their ability to express themselves and communicate their view of the world as Ross did through art.

We now organize two residencies, the North Louisiana Artist-in-Residence program and the North Louisiana Virtual Residency.

The North Louisiana Artist-in-Residence, following a more traditional model of residency, furthers our mission of developing individuals and expanding the arts community specifically in the North Louisiana region. Each year the AiR has a unique theme relating to some aspect of experiencing North Louisiana with the medium potentially changing as well from year to year. Email programs@rosslynnfoundation.org to find about more about the 2024 program.

The North Louisiana Virtual Residency was created in partnership with the North Central Louisiana Arts Council (NCLAC) during 2020 in response to the COIVD-19 pandemic. Due to the success of the project we decided to continue it’s programming in 2021. The virtual residency allowed RLCF and NCLAC to support and encourage community among artists regardless of geographic location or medium. After 2021, the North Louisiana Virtual Residency was re-imagined into the North Louisiana Arts Interchange program. You can learn more about it here.
