HISTORY
In 1986 a small but enthusiastic group from within the arts community invited artists to Galesburg for the summer to create art, Studios Midwest was born. It has since grown into an artist in residence program with a rich history and continues to foster a sense of community between the participating artists and local residents year after year. Studios Midwest has welcomed artists for over three decades!
STUDIOS MIDWEST is a visual arts residency program dedicated to the creative expression of the artists who participate. This short-term residency takes place every other summer (next residency 2023) for a period of 4 weeks in July and is hosted by the Galesburg Civic Art Center, a nonprofit organization, located in downtown Galesburg, Illinois - a town in the heart of the Midwest, known for supporting its diverse artistic community, independent shops and eateries!
