Manship Artists Residency

Gloucester, MA, United States

Manship Artists Residency is dedicated to the preservation of an environmentally and historically significant site that has been given new life as an international, interdisciplinary artists residency for the benefit of the community and visitors to Cape Ann.

 

Manship Artists values those who challenge us to think differently and aims to create an environment where creativity and questions are encouraged and where all are welcome.

 

Manship is making special efforts towards racial and social equity by learning what traditionally underrepresented and underfunded artists need, and by developing effective solutions to serve them.

Manship Artists Residency is at an historic site that will be developed overtime according to ADA Standards for Accessible Design.  Built in 1944-45 on the site of a former quarry, the building and grounds pose some accessibility challenges.  The public areas on the first floor of the residence and the barn studio are accessible, and much of the immediate landscape surrounding the residence and the barn studio can be traversed on foot or with a wheelchair.

This residency is open to artists who reside in Minnesota and are over the age of 18. 

Lodging for the residency and a welcome meal on the first night are provided; artists purchase food and prepare their other meals; there are fully equipped kitchens in each cabin; sheets, bedding and towels are also provided.

Golden Apple Art Residency is situated within a very quiet and secluded spruce forest, approximately an hour north of Acadia National Park along the rocky coast of DownEast Maine. The residents' cottages, the studios, the multi-story art building and the main house are all less than two hundred feet from shore.

Golden Apple offers three sessions, each two weeks in length, during the summer and early fall. Each session includes four to six residents and includes all types of visual artists, including photographers and printmakers, as well as writers and composers. Residents are provided a fully furnished private cottage which includes a kitchenette, full bath and a spectacular view of the ocean. All meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are professionally prepared and are healthy and delicious. The evening meal served each night in the dining room of the main house is a highlight. Dinner table conversation is spirited and enjoyable. Vegetarian and gluten-free diets can be accommodated.

Well-lit private studios with 24-hour access provide space for many disciplines and are equipped with typical studio furnishings as well as sinks, cabinets, easels, tables and taborets, cork boards, and the use of a medium-format Richeson etching press and other printmaking essentials. Writers and composers have the option of a quiet private studio located apart from the art-making studios, if desired. An equipped woodshop is available for use to artists and sculptors.

Additional Eligibility Information

Application guidelines and the application form itself can be found on www.GoldenAppleStudio.com (click Art Residency, then Application Form). Acceptance into a two-week residency session is determined through a jury process and requires a written letter of intent (what work do you propose to do while in residence), a current CV and images or examples of your current work (can be directed to your website), in addition to the application form itself. Applications are accepted on an open-ended basis. Following notification of your acceptance, you will be sent a commitment form which must be signed and returned within 14 days, along with a deposit check of $300. This deposit holds your reservation as a scheduled resident and will be deducted from the cost of your residency. The deposit also serves as a commitment on your part and therefore, is non-refundable.

Partial scholarships are available and if provided, will be announced in your letter of acceptance. The amount of your scholarship will be deducted from your balance due. Payment in full (minus deposit and potential scholarship amounts) are due 60 days prior to the first day of your residency session.

Fellowship Program

Berkeley, CA, United States

For over 30 years, Kala Art Institute has awarded artists time, space, and financial support for their work through the Kala Fellowship. The Kala Art Institute Fellowship is an artist residency award for local, national, and international artists. Artists producing innovative work in and across mediums including printmaking, photography, digital media, social practice, film and video, sound, animation, performance cinema, media art installation, and book arts are encouraged to apply. Each year Kala provides fellowships to six artists from a variety of disciplines based on conceptual creativity, originality, and artistic excellence.

In 2024-2025, Kala will support six fellowship artists with a $3,000 stipend, unlimited access to Kala’s facilities for one to nine months, one month of free housing (artists living outside of the 9 San Francisco Bay Area counties), one Kala class, and a culminating show in the Kala Gallery. The Fellowship is geared towards supporting artists in completing specific projects or bodies of work that would benefit from Kala’s specialized equipment in printmaking and digital media.

Artists in Residence in Everglades (AIRIE) Residency Program

Homestead, FL, United States

AIRIE’s residency program provides artists the opportunity to live and work inside Everglades National Park, the largest tropical wilderness in the United States.

We connect artists with park rangers, scientists, biologists, cultural historians, and community leaders to promote the understanding of the unique ecosystem of the Everglades, and our environment at large. Experiences are tailored to the interests of each individual artist, creating opportunities for independence and solitude, as well as interaction, collaboration and public engagement.

How much of the residency experience can artists with limited mobility participate?

AIRIE will work with residents with limited mobility in advance to make sure accommodations are in place for a successful residency experience. There are many areas of the Everglades that can be accessed with limited mobility. Please click here for more information on mobility in Everglades National Park.

A majority of the Everglades are covered in water accessible through slogging or boat. One activity artists can participate in is called a Slough Slog and is described as strenuous: Wade through the River of Grass into the shadows of a "gator hole" or a cypress dome. Wear lace-up shoes, socks and long pants that can get wet or muddy. This type of activity may not be accessible for individuals with limited mobility.

Banner, WY, United States

Located 20 miles southeast of Sheridan, Wyoming, the Jentel Artist Residency, now in its 25th year, offers dedicated individuals a supportive environment to further their artistic development. Jentel offers 3-week residencies from mid-January through early December with private studios and access to Wyoming's natural beauty in the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains. We welcome visual artists in all mediums; writers in fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry; and composers in all genres of music.

Five new and two renovated structures evoke the agricultural and historical setting of the Lower Piney Creek Valley and echo the sweeping lines of the foothills and mountains. Accommodations for each resident include a private room, a shared living area and kitchen, and a separate studio space.

Mission

The Wassaic Project, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, uses art and arts education to foster positive social change. We nurture connections between our artists and our neighbors facilitating a mutual broadening of perspectives and respect across economic and cultural boundaries.

Vision

The Wassaic Project envisions a community in the Hamlet of Wassaic and its surrounding region that is socially inclusive, generous, cooperative, and economically vibrant.  

We engage in a collaborative effort with members of our community to develop programs that are creative, experimental, and accessible across the economic spectrum.

We strive to be actively anti-racist and to have diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility as an integral part of our programs and initiatives. We will continually evaluate, solicit feedback, and evolve our efforts to ensure their effectiveness.

We build local pride and community vitality by an informed sense of the past and a clear, contemporary, innovative, and compassionate look toward the future.

We foster the youth in our community and help them realize their full potential.  

We aim to be financially stable with a creative staff and multiple partners — nonprofit, public, and private.

It is our hope that the work that we do in Wassaic will be shared nationwide and serve as a toolkit for community revitalization through the arts and the spirit of generosity. Above all else, we honor and respect our community.

Application Requirements

  • Contact information

  • 1–10 work samples 

  • CV (3 pages max)

  • 2 references 

  • $25 application fee

  • Proposal: We believe our residency works best as a creative laboratory untied to outcome. We would like to hear about what makes you curious, what you are interested in investigating, and what your jumping off point would be. (200 words max)

  • Optional question: We want to look at your work according to your definition of success. Are there additional criteria that you would like the panel/us to consider when reviewing your work? For example: What do you consider to be a successful piece or process? If you work with a community, the artistic product may not be the sole or most important creation of the work. Are there other impacts and creations in your process we should focus on? Please share any documentation that could bring us close to these impacts—interviews, testimony from participants, writing about the work, images from an event, etc.

Review

Artists-in-residence are selected by a review panel composed of the Wassaic Project Co-Directors, Director of Artistic Programming, and professionals in the field. Residents will be selected based on the quality of their work, commitment to their practice, and ability to interact positively with the community at large.

Fee Details

The actual cost of each residency is $5,000 per month, which includes a semi-private studio, private bedroom, full use of our facilities, visiting artist program, studio visits, insurance, and staff support. In an effort to serve and support emerging artists, we attempt to subsidize residencies for all individual artists who do not have other forms of support. Thanks to the generous support of donors and grants, the artist’s contribution for the winter residency program is $600 per a 4-week period.

We also offer need-based financial assistance to artists-in-residence for whom it would be impossible to attend without financial support. Financial need is self-reported by artists in their applications. We ask that artists who are in a position to fully contribute towards the residency fee please do so.

Additional Accessibility Information

Our studio is located in a historic hillside city center, with most housing options located in the nearby ancient medina, neither of which are accessible by wheel chair or by guests with mobility disabilities. Our studio is on the second floor of a historic 100 year old building without an elevator. The  cobblestone streets and sidewalks in the city are often uneven and most events and excursions are accessed by walking. We advise our applicants to be aware of these conditions and assess whether or not this type of residency will be a good fit for their accessibility needs.

How much of the residency experience can artists with limited mobility participate?

We do not recommend this residency to artists with severe mobility limitations. Artists who are able to walk, but with difficulty, may benefit from bringing along an assistant or arranging to employ a local assistant during their stay. The location requires a fair amount of walking and climbing stairs to the 2nd floor studio. Taxi's can be arranged if necessary, and a resident artist could participate in most of the studio in-house work space, events and activities, as long as they are able to walk from their housing to the studio.

Please briefly describe the facilities and areas of the campus that are NOT accessible.

Artists stay in housing in the local area and ancient city surrounding the studio. The path between housing and studio is uneven cobblestone, with high curbs. Access to the studio includes an entrance with a high threshold and two flights of stairs to reach the 2nd floor studio. Inside the studio all rooms and spaces are level, except for the bathrooms, which have a raised floor and step up for entry.
