Associated Residency Program
The Peter Bullough Foundation in historic downtown Winchester, Virginia provides intimate, focused residencies to artists and writers, including those elevating voices and topics relevant to the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Applications are now being accepted for spring 2025 residencies to work in the private studios and enjoy the garden and former homes of Dr. Peter Bullough.
The ideal applicant will be self-directed, motivated, able to work independently, and interested in engaging with the local community and fellow residents. Emerging artist are encouraged to apply. Each awarded residency period is four weeks long and shared with 1-2 other artists in residence. Artistic collaborators in groups of 2-3 may apply in one application. Each artist receives a private room and studio. Residents are awarded a $600 stipend.
Supporting our local community is crucial to our mission. While in residence, artists are required to host a workshop, lecture, or event virtually or in-person.
The PBF accepts applications from artists working in the following disciplines: visual arts, literature, film/video arts, interdisciplinary arts, music, music composition, playwriting, screenwriting, poetry, theatre, and architecture.
