In Cahoots Residency January - May 2027 Application

Associated Residency Program

In Cahoots Residency is a place of collaboration and creative energy, a rare opportunity for uninterrupted work time as well as dialog with other artists. The residency provides housing and studio space to emerging and professional artists working in a variety of mediums. Our pastoral location and light-filled studios for book art, letterpress, writing, and printmaking inspire artists to make new discoveries and leave with a renewed passion for their work. The residency hosts from three to five artists at a time for sessions ranging from one to three weeks long. Residents are provided private individual guest houses (with kitchens and full bathrooms) and 24-hour access to the spacious shared studios or the individual writing studio. With a focus on community and inclusion, we welcome adult artists of all ethnicities, religions, ages, physical abilities, genders, sexual orientations, financial statuses, and educational backgrounds.

Grant/Scholarship/other Funding Support
Grant/Scholarship/Other Funding Support Details

Applications for full and partial Fellowships are accepted twice a year. Twenty fully and partially funded residencies are available each year, ten for residencies taking place between January and May (deadline June 1) and ten for residencies between June and December (deadline October 1)

Fellowships are designed for artists for whom this residency experience would otherwise be out of reach financially. We welcome applications from all artists with financial need, but especially emerging artists/writers with less than 10 years of experience in the field, recent students, people of color, those who are returning to art after another career, and adjunct teachers. If you apply for a Fellowship and are not awarded one, your application will automatically be considered for a paid residency spot.
