Associated Residency Program
Located in historic downtown Winchester, Virginia, the Peter Bullough Foundation 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 2026 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 artists are encouraged to apply.
Each awarded residency period is four weeks long and shared with 2 other artists-in-residence. Each artist receives a private room and studio. Residents are awarded a $600 stipend. Applicants must be currently residing in the US or US citizens living abroad.
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 those working in the following disciplines: architecture, literature, film/video arts, interdisciplinary arts, music, music composition, playwriting, screenwriting, poetry, theatre, and the visual arts.
