Located in downtown Caldwell, the Caldwell Artist Collective (CAC) is an artist residency dedicated to incubating visual artists who seek market acceleration and amplification. Through mentorship, structured support, and access to key resources, CAC empowers artists to hone their style, increase consistency in their work, and accelerate their creative production for public engagement. The ultimate goal is to equip artists with the tools to sustain a successful career while fostering a dynamic arts community within Caldwell, the Western Treasure Valley, and beyond. Through a thriving artist residency program, CAC provides an array of display, promotional, and career growth opportunities. Initiatives such as group exhibitions, artist forums, live drawing sessions, and networking events serve as catalysts for connection and artistic development. Inspired by Caldwell’s pioneering spirit and the vast, untamed beauty of the Owyhee Mountains, CAC encourages innovation, risk-taking, and creative excellence.
