Fountainhead artists residencies, founded in 2008 by Kathryn and Dan Mikesell, aim to provide opportunities for artists who are often under-represented in the art world. The residencies offer a supportive and collaborative environment for artists to create and showcase their work, allowing them to focus on their practice without the distractions of everyday life.
Located in Miami, Florida, Fountainhead artists residencies have hosted over 130 artists from around the world since its inception. The program offers artists a space to live and work, as well as access to a supportive community of fellow artists, curators, and collectors.
One of the main goals of Fountainhead artists residencies is to foster diversity and inclusivity in the art world. The program provides resources and opportunities for artists from marginalized communities to gain exposure and showcase their work. Through exhibitions, open studios, and collaborations with local organizations, the residencies help artists build connections and expand their careers.
Kathryn and Dan Mikesell, who have a background in the arts and a passion for supporting artists, are dedicated to providing a platform for artists to thrive and grow. They believe in the power of art to create dialogue, inspire change, and bring people together.
As Fountainhead artists residencies continue to expand and evolve, they remain committed to their mission of supporting underrepresented artists and promoting diversity in the art world. The program has had a lasting impact on the artists who have participated, helping them to gain recognition and opportunities to further their careers.
