53 artists from across the country convene in Southwest Wisconsin to pursue their practices as part of ACRE’s summer residency program.
Chicago, IL, May 29, 2025 — Artists’ Cooperative Residency & Exhibitions (ACRE) is excited to announce the selection of 53 national and international artists for this year's Summer Residency Program.
As we embark on our 16th residency season, ACRE is eager to welcome this new cohort of visual artists, performers, musicians, and writers to our community in Steuben, WI. During their residency, participants have access to a variety of materials, equipment, expert guidance, conscientiously sourced food, and numerous opportunities to share their work.
The 2025 summer residency, hosted over three sessions from June 18 to August 12, will take place in the Driftless region of Southwest Wisconsin at the Mother Earth Green Center. This scenic setting offers a perfect backdrop for artists to create, reflect, collaborate, and recharge.
Alumni artists play a crucial role at ACRE, returning each summer as staff mentors to lead studios, offer demos and workshops, and help shape the residency experience for residents and visitors. Their involvement ensures that the collective spirit of ACRE is continuously renewed and preserved.
To select our residents, each year ACRE assembles a panel of experienced practitioners—spanning visual artists, curators, organizers, writers, and alumni of the residency program. These generous panelists thoroughly reviewed 650 residency applications. For more information about our admissions process and to learn about the 2025 panelists please visit our admissions page.
We invite you to learn more about ACRE's programs by visiting our website and join us in celebrating the arrival of this esteemed group of artists to our community.
