Miami-based collectors Kathryn and Dan Mikesell started The Fountainhead Residency in 2008 based on their passion for contemporary art and desire to be more intimately integrated in the world of artists and their art. According to the residency Mission Statement, "While our acquisitions help artists financially, in establishing this residency we are seeking to assist artists in providing them with a fountainhead that can be found only in Miami and its artistic energies."
The Residency will provide artists with an environment to find new inspirations, create new work and a memorable experience in their artistic stream. The residence itself is a unique, light infused space to live and work away from the confines and daily grind of their current lives. Artists will be given an opportunity to meet and receive feedback from respected curators, collectors, gallerists and artists in Miami. Stays at the residency will be up to 60 days.
Recent residents have been associated with Gallery Diet, Locust Projects and the MAM.
