Nancy Ingersoll Foster Artist Residency

We are excited to announce the 2026 Nancy Ingersoll Foster Artist Residency Program presented by the Elizabeth Lane Oliver Center for the Arts (aka Oliver Art Center) in Frankfort, Michigan. This residency program provides a two-week-long working retreat to allow a visual artist to focus on a special project while exploring the inspiration and peacefulness that northwest Michigan offers. The Residency program will be housed this year at the stunning Parsons Center for Arts and Sciences, located in Lake Ann, Michigan. Exhibits and workshops will take place at the nearby Oliver Art Center in Frankfort, about a 30-minute drive from the Parsons Center. Both locations are nearby to Traverse City and the Sleeping Bear Dunes coastline of northern Michigan. The Residency runs from September 5, 2026 to September 19, 2026 and is open to visual artists working in a variety of media.
