COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement
Based on our concern for the health and safety of our staff, volunteers, residents we host, and the community-focused nature of the program the Good Hart Artist Residency will require that all residents be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 before attending a residency in Good Hart.  A person does not have to be vaccinated to apply to the program; however, if selected for a residency, the resident would need to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 prior to arrival in Good Hart.  Medical exemptions to the requirement for COVID-19 vaccination or consideration of an off-site residency can be considered on an individual basis.

Accommodations
Both the residence and the studio space have been designed with accessibility and inclusion in mind.  Please see our Accessibility Plan if you have any additional questions regarding accessibility contact Bill Klco, Director of Operations bill@goodhartartistresidency.org.

Transportation
Residents need to arrange their own transportation to and from Northern Michigan
A bike will be made available to the resident.
