The Altman Companies' Artist-in-Residency program supports the arts and provides a practicing South Florida artist with a one-year rent-free apartment and den space to practice and fine-tune their craft. In exchange, artists create and display their art on-site and engage with residents through monthly artistic events. The artists are selected based on their portfolio's quality, originality, creativity, craft, and artistic distinction.
