Hope Stone, Inc. understands the many “mountains” young artists face with expenses, creative time, and performance opportunities and offers these residencies to help support and assist them. The artists are given unlimited rehearsal time, space permitting, over a three-month period and then present a showing or “work in progress” performance at Hope Center at the end of the three months.

Hope Center offers between 3-4 residencies a year to new artists, and also helps each group to present their work in a professional way.
