BE A GOOD HOST TO YOURSELF, TO OTHERS, AND TO ART

Who We Are

The Hosting is an experimental artist residency program and founded in Southeast Michigan. We work with artists of all mediums, providing a curriculum that promotes accountability and sustainability in the life of the artist. Our mission it to be a good host to yourself, to others, and to art.

Where We Came From

The Hosting was founded in 2016 by Anya Klapischak in her one bedroom apartment in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan. By 2018, The Hosting had hosted three artists-in-residence and closed its 20th art show. In February 2019, The Hosting received its non-profit status.

Where We’re Going

The Hosting’s official programming kicked off September 5th 2019. Our programming is presented in two parts: the residency program and community programming.

Our residency program involves intimate, one-on-one work with one chosen studio artist. Our 2022-2023 program is focused on working with Indigenous and Tribal land based artists.
