Applicants do not need to live in Vacaville to be considered, but they need to prove that most of their artistic activities are conducted within the Solano county. This opportunity is for local artists to develop their artistic practice and share new work with audiences. Residents are expected to support marketing efforts for the final residency performance, for which artists that already conduct business in the area are more likely to succeed in bringing audiences that would ultimately support the development of their new work.
