Ma’s House’s Artist-In-Residency program is open to US-based creatives of color working in any genre of visual art, creative writing, and performance arts.

We encourage resident artists to pursue work that relates to or is inspired by Shinnecock’s history, the local landscape, community based work, and critical engagement in issues of diversity, race, and identity.

Open AIR is a 501 c 3 nonprofit organization that fosters creative collaboration in Montana. With headquarters in Missoula, MT, we serve urban and rural areas of Montana. 

Our mission is to connect diverse communities with creativity through educational, collaborative, and place-based initiatives. Our vision is to strengthen the creative capacity of Montana and foster experiences that are culturally vibrant, healthy, and intellectually vigorous. 

Open AIR is best known for its unique place-based Artist-in-Residence program that connects artists from all disciplines and origins, with culturally, historically, and ecologically significant locations through collaborative partnerships in Montana.

With innovative opportunities available in places such as remote wilderness areas to historically significant sites closer to town, artists have the opportunity to draw inspiration from a regional community dedicated to preserving place, environment, and the arts.

Chunk Of The Moon is an Indigenous & Queer-led residency based in Central Vermont. The home and studio are Tucked away in two acres of forested land beside a babbling brook. This is a peaceful, easeful place for creators of all mediums to devote time and energy to their craft. Chunk Of The Moon centers culture-bearers who are devoted to a just world of care, connection, love, and imagination.

The two bedroom, two bathroom home is just 8 minutes from central Montpelier, Vermont. 

There is an office in the house, as well as a creator's studio adjacent to the house. 

Resident artists will be embedded with a local community organization during the first week of residency to learn about the mission and goals of the organization, so as to be inspired with ideas for creative projects which will engage a broader cross-section of the public in those goals and missions.  Artists will then have five weeks to create finished, or significantly finished works which will be exhibited in the KCA gallery.  During the working period, artists will make one in-school workshop presentation in one of seven local schools.  Artists will also have one open studio day on a Saturday after the first three weeks – for public community access to the work and process.  There will also be two or three (TBD) evening events where artists will present their past or present work to an invited audience of supporters and arts leaders in the region.  Exhibits will open the Friday night of the last week of each residency and will run for four weeks.  Artists are expected to attend the Opening and an Artist Talk the Saturday morning after the opening, travel should be booked for the Sunday of the final weekend of the residency.  

Beginning in 2025, The Abbey Foundation will begin to offer 6 month residencies for day use of the 850 square foot studio space. There is also a screened in area attached to the indoor studio which is available for large scale works.  There will be a stipend for purchase of materials and additional equipment ranging from $1000.00 to $5000.00 depending on the budget.

While there is currently no live in residency program, applicants from outside the Anderson Valley, CA area may participate, but provide their own housing.

As the program develops, there may be community workshops which will require the participation of the grant recipient.

Currently, there is no application fee for the grant
