The Truro Clay Works Artist Residency invites three ceramicists to join our creative community for a one-year term starting October 5 of 2026. Residents live in a large fully furnished communal home with private bedrooms, two full shared bathrooms, living room, laundry room, pantry and kitchen. There is 24-hour access to a separate and fully equipped communal ceramic studio on site. This is a great opportunity for an artist to explore a new body of work or collaboration. The residency is designed for independent artists who appreciate both quiet focus and a shared creative environment — a place where craft, nature, and community intersect. We welcome ceramic artists of all backgrounds and approaches — from functional pottery to sculptural and experimental work.

Artists with experience in glaze chemistry, gas kiln oxidation and reduction firing and/or skills teaching hand building are particularly encouraged to apply.

This residency is ideal for those seeking dedicated studio time within a supportive, relaxed environment surrounded by nature. Applicants must be self motivated and independent in their personal studio practices as well as being community minded.

Fees are $1,500 per month, which includes housing, utilities, full access to the studio and 50lbs of clay each month. Additional clay can be purchased at cost.

Residents are expected to contribute an exchange of 16 hours per month, approximately 4 hours per week, toward the shared operations of Truro Clay Works.

We offer three 3-week visual artist residencies, one for an emerging artist of color* that includes a $500 fellowship, named for the late David Bethuel Jamieson, a Black artist who spent time in Provincetown and died of AIDS in 1992. Another top juried artist will receive a $500 fellowship with their residency. 

The Compact also offers 1-week residencies for artists and the general public, and two 1-week funded residencies for writers.

*An emerging artist of color is defined as one who has yet to receive a major exhibition or showcasing opportunities and has not had extensive media coverage for their work. Artists of all ages may apply.

We also invite applicants to donate a voluntary "Honor Tax", which will be donated to the Native Land Conservancy, providing an opportunity to move beyond land acknowledgement.

DEEP SPACE is a performance residency program for artists and groups who are experimenting and making new works along the fringes of the mainstream. We believe performance that pushes the envelope in form and content requires time and space beyond what is customary, in order to allow artists to dig deeply into the processes of creation and production. DEEP SPACE provides artists with use of the NACL performance hall and artist residence for a period of rehearsal and development (one week residencies are typical, April-November) culminating in a public sharing with an invited audience.<br>

Deep Space Performance Residencies support artists or ensembles creating new works at any stage in the development process, from concept through technical production. Each year we attempt to schedule a mix of early-phase, mid-phase, and late-phase projects for week-long residencies at our Cultural Laboratory and Artist Residence in New York’s southwestern Catskills. We accept applications throughout the year. There is a Jan 31 deadline for consideration for residencies offered in the following calendar year. Our Curation Council — made up of past Deep Space artists and NACL artistic staff — convenes in March and finalizes programming decisions by May.

Itinera Arte is an independent platform for contemporary art based in Rio de Janeiro, dedicated to the research, education, and dissemination of artistic practices.

Founded in 2019, it operates at the intersection of education, creation, and curatorship, promoting courses, artist residencies, exhibitions, study trips, and cultural mediation programs.

The Itinera Arte Artist Residency offers an immersive and experimental environment for artists from diverse contexts and disciplines, fostering dialogue between contemporary practices and the historical and urban landscape of Rio de Janeiro. The program combines curatorial mentorship, collective exchanges, studio visits with Brazilian artists, field activities, and public exhibitions, encouraging the development of critical and collaborative processes.

Guided by its own pedagogical project, Itinera Arte conceives the residency as a space for shared learning, where artistic practice becomes an exercise in listening, reflection, and research. The program seeks to integrate practice and thought, linking critical formation, aesthetic experience, and engagement with territory.

Acting autonomously and collaboratively, Itinera Arte reaffirms its commitment to the valorization of plural epistemologies and to art as a field of thinking, encounter, and transformation.

At MADE Creatives in Residence, individuals find the foundation from which to explore all that SMA has to offer as well as the private and shared spaces to reflect on experiences and ultimately create the seed that uniquely expresses their time while they are here or wherever they go next.

At MADE we support community building, advance ideas and programs, and believe that exposure and engagement to new ideas and diverse people are keys for personal and professional growth. We are convinced in the power of social thinking and doing. In this spirit, we invite creatives to be part of the community of Creatives in Residence at MADE in SMA.
