We offer residences for C-Scape and Fowler Dune Shacks in the Cape Cod National Seashore, available April through November for the general public with applications due January 15, 2026. thecompact.org/dune-shacks.html
We also offers three, 3-week artist and two writer residencies and one for an emerging artist of color, named for the late David Bethuel Jamieson, a Black artist who spent time in Provincetown and died of AIDS in 1992. The top artist will receive 3 weeks and a $500 fellowship. Another 3-week stay also includes a $500 fellowship. Artist residents are selected by a jury.
An emerging artist of color is defined as one who has yet to receive a major exhibition or showcasing opportunities and has not had extensive media coverage for their work. Artists of all ages may apply.
We also invite applicants to donate a voluntary "Honor Tax" to the Native Land Conservancy - beyond land recognition.
