pullman yards artist residency

The Pullman Yards Artist Residency is a dynamic program designed to spark meaningful collaboration and cultural exchange. By pairing one regional artist with one visiting artist from across the U.S. or abroad, the residency fosters a rich dialogue between local and global perspectives. This unique structure deepens the creative process and leads to compelling, multidimensional outcomes.

Open to artists working in film, visual arts, and new media, the program builds on the legacy of Pullman Yards’ cofounders, Adam Rosenfelt and Maureen Meulen, whose experience in the film industry continue to inform and inspire this creative hub. It also aligns with Pullman Yards’ ongoing transformation into a vibrant arts and entertainment district—one that champions innovation, storytelling, and cultural impact.
