Checklist -TransArtists has developed a pointed list of questions that you should consider when deciding which residency program is best for you. They were specifically developed to assist artists searching for and applying to international programs, but are equally pertinent for programs in your own country:
Motivations - "Many residential art centers have strong reasons for running their program. Therefore you have to think about the reasons why you want to stay and work somewhere else." http://www.transartists.nl/articles/motivations.143.html

Searching and Choosing - questions to consider range from which residency profile will best meet your needs to the important practicalities that have nothing to do with art
http://www.transartists.nl/articles/searching___choosing.144.html

Applying - application procedures vary widely - things to keep in mind
http://www.transartists.nl/articles/applying.146.html

Money Check - associated costs of the residency you may not have considered
