ARTIST HAVEN with LED

In partnership with LED, the Alexa Rose Foundation is launching a unique new Residency called ARTIST HAVEN, designed for Performing Artists with momentum and a record of excellence poised to benefit from working on a solo project or collaboration in an inspired space. ARTIST HAVEN is an exciting platform designed to inspire risk-taking, bold experimentation, and sustained creative exploration among artists in our community or those meaningfully tied to it. The new program offers time, space, and resources for artists to deeply engage in their practice, and culminates in sharing their progress with a live performance or presentation. Launching in January 2026 and hosted at The Dixon, located at 3300 W Chinden Blvd in Garden City, Idaho, the new ARTIST HAVEN Residency comes with time, space, mentorship from LED's artistic and creative director, as well as a cash honorarium. The 2026 ARTIST HAVEN Residents have been invited; please stay tuned to learn more about opportunities for 2027.
