Artists are asked to spend at least 15 hours per week in the studio, including one weekend day per month, and participate in three community-oriented events during their term.

“Our goal is to create a dynamic, welcoming environment where artists can thrive and the community can engage directly with the creative process,” said Kate Andrus, RDA Director. “Joining the Midvale Main Art House waiting list is the first step toward being part of this collaborative and inspiring space.”

The Art House Selection Committee oversees governance of the space, including policies, artist selection, scheduling, and curation of artwork for public display. The committee ensures that the Art House remains vibrant, accessible, and aligned with both artist schedules and public visitation.
