Blue Roof Residency

Inspired by the words of author Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own provides women artists with financial resources and a space to work so they can explore materials, investigate ideas and create in a dedicated space outside of their homes free from distractions and everyday responsibilities. Our definition of who is an artist and what is art is broad, untethered to an established art world definition and advanced degrees are not required. Mothers, self-taught artists and artists whose practices are informed and acquired by familial legacies of making are encouraged to apply.

A Room of One’s Own artist residency was created to address a lack of affordable studio space, the gender wage gap in both art and non-art related industries, and the lack of access offering art-related opportunities to historically marginalized people in Los Angeles. We commit to prioritizing artists from our immediate community in our application process.
