Artists in residence can use the Minitas Beach, easily reached from the nearby resort hotel of Casa de Campo . Transportation from Altos de Chavon to La Romana is available. The town, eight miles away, is the third largest in the Dominican Republic. It offers many stores and services. From La Romana an express bus makes the two-hour trip to the capital, Santo Domingo.
Many artists agree to teach an occasional workshop or class in their area of expertise.
Each artist is expected to be part of a group exhibition or give a performance at the end of his or her residency. Artists sell their work through the Gallery at Altos de Chavon. The Foundation takes a commission on all works sold, and each artist donates to Altos de Chavon's permanent collection a work produced during the residency.
