Silvermine established an International Artist-in-Residency Program, initiated and funded by artist and philanthropist Janet Hennessey Dilenschneider and Robert Dilenschneider, and managed by the International Institute of Education (IIE).

The Fulbright residency was created to foster creative, intellectual and professional growth for emerging or established visual artists who have access to Silvermine faculty as well as a private workspace and generous studio time.
The inaugural artist in residence, Ivana Radovanovich, from Centinje, Montenegro earned a PhD at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade, Serbia, and is pursuing post-doctoral research at St. John’s University in New York as a Fulbright Scholar.
