Application is currently open for our February 28th to March 9th session.
Foundation House, located in backcountry Greenwich, CT, will open its doors for 10 days to six residents, allowing residents the time and space for concentrated creation in beautiful and inspiring surroundings. Foundation House’s mission as a nonprofit center for learning is to focus on mental health, environmental, and social justice issues. To that end, we host residencies, workshops, lectures, and other meaningful gatherings on these topics.
For our Winter 2024 session, we are limiting our subject of focus to the environment and climate-related issues.
At Foundation House, we believe that conversations about climate change are not complete without the input of creatives, and it is our privilege to be able to offer space for artists of all disciplines to work and therefore be a part of those conversations.
Each resident will be given a stipend, private bedroom and private or semi-private bathroom, all meals plus full kitchen access, and access to studio space, a wide variety of common areas, and 75 acres of land to explore and enjoy. Residents will eat dinner together every evening to ensure that they are building relationships and are familiarizing themselves with each other's work, facilitating feedback and collaboration. Our residency is a working residency.
Please note: No applicants focusing on any area other than climate, environmental, and sustainability will be considered for this residency.
Foundation House is committed to diversity and inclusion, and we prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind.
The February - March application will close on December 29th at 11:59PM EST. We do not allow deadline extensions. Accepted applicants will hear back from us in around three weeks.
