Leap Year Residents 2023

Leap Year is MINT’s flagship program, having served over 30 artists since 2011. Each year MINT’s Curatorial Jury comprised of Atlanta Arts leaders review applications submitted by over 100 visual artists from across the city. The panel selects five diverse, emerging artists from the Atlanta area to participate in the year-long fellowship program. MINT provides the artists with: dedicated studio space for one year; a two-week residency at The Hambidge Center; opportunities for public art and community engagement; a complimentary membership to Atlanta Contemporary; studio visits with guest curators, gallerists, artists , and critics; an established Atlanta-based artist or curator to serve as a mentor; and a solo exhibition. All artists who participate in our residency program are paid a W.A.G.E. stipend.
