AQB has a great community of local residents; I very much enjoyed my time there and the people I met. However given the residency fee, the support and care from the faculty was not the best. I’ve participated in several residencies where no payment was required, yet they offered significantly higher levels of professionalism and artist support. In comparison this experience was unfortunately quite disappointing.
