Artist & Entrepreneur in Residency
The Artist and Entrepreneur in Residency Program is a two-week immersive experience designed to support both emerging and established artists and entrepreneurs in developing their craft, expanding their network, and gaining meaningful exposure. Founded by a seasoned serial entrepreneur with a deep passion for innovation and cultural exchange, the program reflects a commitment to creativity, community, and global connection.
Set in the vibrant yet peaceful surroundings of Sarasota, Florida, the residency offers free housing and a supportive environment where creativity can flourish — in exchange for each participant using their talents to contribute meaningfully to the local community. Whether through workshops, collaborative projects, or public showcases, artists are expected to engage with and uplift the Sarasota community during their stay.
Throughout the two weeks, participating artists are welcomed into a stimulating ecosystem that encourages both personal and artistic growth. The program includes access to creative workshops, professional development seminars, and excursions that highlight the natural beauty and cultural richness of the region. Artists will be introduced to local creatives, curators, and community leaders, fostering relationships that last well beyond the residency itself.
By showcasing their talents and stories, participants serve as cultural ambassadors, fostering mutual understanding and building a creative bridge between the American public and the land of Israel. Their work helps spark dialogue, inspire connection, and deepen appreciation across cultures and communities.
This is more than a residency — it’s a chance to create, connect, and inspire across borders, all while giving back and leaving a meaningful mark on the community that supports them.
