Artists
701 CCA offers an Artist-in-Residence (AIR) program in a 1,200 square-foot live/work unit on the second floor of 701 Whaley. Artists in residence at the center create new works while in residence. Generally, an exhibition or some public presentation of these works takes place during or shortly after the residency.
In most cases, artists in residence are also expected to involve the community in some fashion. Professional artists are selected through a competitive selection process and may be local, regional, national or international. Residencies last for six, ten or twelve weeks.

Current Artists
Residency: September 28 – December 21; Exhibition: January 7 – February 7, 2010: Gwylene Gallimard and Jean-Marie Mauclet
Gallimard & Mauclet have a long history of creating community-based artworks with a strong social component, especially installations, that meet the highest conceptual, artistic and aesthetic standards. They do so from a perspective that combines an insider’s knowledge with an outsider’s sensibility.
During their residency at 701 CCA, Gallimard & Mauclet plan to research the life and architecture of two of Columbia’s largest 20th-century cotton mills, the Olympia and Granby mills, and their appendages –Olympia and Granby Villages.
