Jupiterfab Arts Residency

Location

Calle Penitenciaria 660, Colonia Americana
44160 Guadalajara, Jal.
Mexico

The residency started in 2022 and supports art projects and artists who are willing to inspire themselves in the city of Guadalajara, in Mexico. (We give special attentions to projects that will to create social impact.)

We are located in Colonia Americana, a vibrant community, which was named as the coolest neighborhood in the world by a famous international magazine, in 2023.

We are inviting international and national artists from different disciplines and working on different media to live, work and join our community.

The length of the residency can be from 1 to 6 months but we prioritize artists staying at least 2 months for a better understanding of the local environment.

We encourage and support artists to have a final event, towards the end of their stay to show the results of their work to the local scene and we usually organize a presentation for them at the beginning of their stay in different art centers in the city.

We offer support to artists in terms of logistics, communications and organization. Moreover, we constantly give suggestions and tips about events and art galleries to visit in the city.

If you want to paint a mural, we have a wall available indoor in our arts residency.

We are completely independent and we DO NOT have access to funds for artist to cover their expenses. However, we can provide an official invitation letter, if they want to apply to grants themselves.

Please note, artists are responsible for all their technical materials. We can help them in the search if necessary.

STUDIO INFORMATION

The residency offers three living/working spaces.

SPACE A: One bedroom (5×3 meters) + studio (4×4 meters) for one artist. Rate: 550 EUR per month. This space can host artists who need separate spaces (sleeping and working).

For this studio, we also accept to host DUO artists just in studio A, but it is important to stress that the studio has just one double bed and we will apply an extra fee of 150 EUR per month.

SPACE B: One big bedroom/studio (5 x 6 meters). Rate: 550 EUR per month. This space is suitable for artists working in a media that don’t require separate working and sleeping spaces. Best for writers or photographers.

SPACE C: One big bedroom/studio (5 x 6 meters). Rate: 550 EUR per month. This space is suitable for artists working in a media that don’t require separate working and sleeping spaces.

SPACE D: One big bedroom/studio (4 x 4 meters). Rate: 550 EUR per month. This space is suitable for artists working in a media that don’t require separate working and sleeping spaces.

All spaces have basic furniture: a bed, closet, desk, mirror, a chair and a shelf.

You’re welcome to use your studio walls for an installation, but you will be asked to clean and repaint them at the end of your stay.

ACCOMMODATION

The residence has two bathrooms (one full – one guests), and several common areas: a kitchen, a dining room, a big central patio, a back patio and a laundry room.

In the central patio, there is a big table with chairs to work that can be removed to host performances, workshops, presentations or art events when required. Ideal for artists who loved to work in a common area.

The artist will have full access to the common areas such as kitchen, central patio, laundry room etc.

The kitchen is fully equipped.

WildHeart: Center for Performance and Embodiment Practice

Location

183 East Road
Wallkill, NY, NY 12589
United States

WildHeart: Center for Performance and Embodiment Practice is a land-based culture hub that incubates new performances, cultivates deep community and hosts transformational events.

 

Manifesto:

Our bodies are cultured. 

Our embodiment practice (and unexamined habitual patterning!) channels into our artmaking.

Art shapes culture.

And the culture we co-create circles back around to shape our bodies.

We can interrupt the default course of this cycle at any point:
with critical thinking and strategic detox from the overculture’s impact on our bodies;
with embodiment practice that repatterns how we self-express;
with art that affirms life, honors all bodies, opens regenerative possibilities.

This is our work:
to support a spiral of cultural, embodied, creatively expressed love.

 

Vision:

Performances created as an expression of deep integrity nourished by embodiment practice while living close to the earth.

 

WildHeart is body positive, anti racist, queer magic.

Much administrative, manual and emotional labor supports these priorities. In the nitty-gritty of walking the walk, we provide food and housing, land access, studio space, event planning, logistical coordination, and marketing outreach.

Additional Eligibility Information

Applications are currently being accepted for 2026 Visiting Artist Residencies. The application deadline is Saturday, November 1, 2026 at midnight PST. Each year, Museum of Glass invites artists to apply for a Visiting Artist Residency in the Hot Shop to explore new ideas and techniques or push the boundaries of a current series. Selected artists have full use of our state-of-the-art Hot Shop and the assistance of the Museum's Hot Shop Team. Applications will be selected to support a wide variety of project scopes.

For 2026, the committee also strongly encourages proposals that are collaborative in nature, or incorporates artistic ideas across disciplines or material.

The selection process will also include one project that draws connects between science and art, which will be awarded the Sheldon Levin Memorial Visiting Artist Residency (details below).

Sheldon Levin Memorial Application Visiting Artist Residency

Sheldon Levin started his volunteer career with Museum of Glass as a charter docent, participating in the first docent and volunteer training in 2002. He quickly started emceeing on Thursdays in the Hot Shop interpreting glassblowing techniques, helping thousands of visitors understand the art of glassblowing from both artistic and scientific perspectives. To honor his memory, Museum of Glass invites artists who are inspired by connections between art and science to apply for the Sheldon Levin Memorial Application Visiting Artist Residency.

Additional Application Details:

  • Artists are responsible for travel to and from Museum of Glass, accommodations, color, and special order materials
  • Artists are responsible for initiating packing, insurance, and shipping arrangements for artwork PRIOR to residency

Application FAQs: 

What does the selection committee look for in a compelling application? Our selection committee looks for proposals that are clear and concise, and are supported by photographs of prototypes or concept sketches. Priority will be given to artists who are experimenting with new ideas or techniques.

I’ve been at MOG recently – can I reapply? Artists are only eligible for a residency at MOG every three years. For example, if you were awarded a 2026 Residency at MOG, we ask that you not apply again until 2029. 

Is there any wiggle room with the submission deadline? No. Please submit an application by the deadline (11/01/26) to ensure consideration. Late applications will not be reviewed. Applicants will receive a confirmation email upon the delivery of their application to MOG.

Echo Arts

Location

966 Echo Hill Road
Medina, TX 78055
United States

Echo Arts is an artist-run residency and art, performance, and arts education space in the Texas Hill Country, our mission is to support working artists by providing them with time, space, and a stipend to create their work. We believe that making art is a vehicle for making a kinder, more just world. We will welcome practitioners from a wide variety of disciplines, such as music/sound, painting/drawing, film/video/dance, photography, writing, and sculpture. 

Our vision is to make experimental, expansive, and affordable art programming in the Hill Country, while facilitating artist immersion in this unique part of Texas. We will cultivate dialogue among artists and create opportunities for them to work and exhibit in this natural setting–enriching the region culturally, fostering connections between urban and rural communities, and, in the wake of the devastating summer 2025 flooding, contributing to spaces of joy, reflection, and collective recovery. Echo Arts will strive to be accessible and supportive to everyone, with special attention paid to childcare and in building out and renovating our studios to accommodate differently-abled bodies and minds. Our program structure and schedule will be wholly artist-centered.

Echo Arts will create a connection between the Hill Country and the world. Artists working with Echo Arts will contribute to the local community through public classes, exhibitions, and more. Our organization will host an annual experimental arts festival, featuring performances and outdoor installations. One way we will foster a vibrant, supportive arts community on a local, national, and international scale is by including thoughtful, engaged artists, art workers, educators, and other humanity-affirming individuals and groups in the planning of Echo Arts from the start. Echo Arts artist residency will open to our first artists in Spring/Summer 2027.

Senda d'Arte

Location

4 Plaza de la Paz
33111 San Martin de Teverga Asturias
Spain

A Path of Creativity, A Journey into Community

Senda d'Arte is an independent multi-disciplinary artist residency, creative retreat, and sanctuary for makers hidden in the dramatic Cantabrian Mountains of Asturias, Northern Spain. Standing at 4 Plaza de la Paz in the historic heart of San Martín de Teverga, our three-story building was built in 1906. As one of the original great houses in town, it has born witness to over a century of local history, triumphs, and transformations. Today, it has been thoughtfully restored to serve as a tranquil place to slow down, create, and connect.

Our name translates to "The Path of Art," and it is a literal and metaphorical nod to our goals and surroundings. We sit directly along Senda del Oso (The Bear's Path), a legendary rails-to-trails pathway that winds through mountain rivers, limestone canyons, and lush fields. 

Just as the Senda del Oso was once a mining railway built to extract raw materials from the earth, Senda d'Arte represents a different kind of journey—an intentional, creative passage to unearth deep inspiration, fresh ideas, artistic growth, and to foster community for small groups of artists working alongside one another.

Wonder Mountain Open Source Space Artist Residency

Wonder Mountain Open Source Space Artist Residency

Twentynine Palms, CA, United States

Wonder Mountain Open Source Space Residency welcomes LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC artists and creators to an immersive two-week program offered year-round. This residency embraces a wide spectrum of visionaries—writers, visual artists, musicians, filmmakers, performers, designers, digital innovators, cultural workers, community builders, healers, curators, scientists, and multidisciplinary makers of all kinds. We also encourage groups and collectives to apply, as well as those who wish to facilitate community-engagement workshops. Set in the wide-open desert landscape of Wonder Valley, California—just a short drive from Joshua Tree National Park—our space offers both stillness and inspiration. Here, creators can step away from the noise, reflect and reset, nurture bold new ideas, and reconnect with the elemental cycles of nature and cosmos.

Residency fees are $1250 USD for two-week stays. Longer stays are negotiable and scholarships are available. Note: The residency fee does not include food and travel. However, free transportation can be arranged in advance from the Palm Springs Airport.

We encourage artists and writers seeking a quiet and inspiring rural desert environment to apply to Wonder Mountain Open Source Space. Our space is surrounded by the plants and creatures of the Mojave: Yucca brevifolia is indigenous to the region and isn’t found anywhere else in the world. Come see the desert flowers in bloom as the meteor showers explode in the darkness and stillness of Wonder Valley.

Come see the desert flowers in bloom as the meteor showers explode in the darkness and stillness of Wonder Valley. Wonder Mountain Open Source Space encourages creative professionals of all backgrounds to apply for admission. The space is centered on principles of self-reflexive artistic practice that embraces the healing elements of the land as a site of reciprocal action. We envision an aesthetics of generosity, compassion, and an astral breadth of scope that seeks to nourish the creative spirit in all producers who venture to travel here.

The space is located on the traditional ancestral homelands of the Serrano, Cahuilla, Chemehuevi and Mohave (Mojave) indigenous communities, the land that encompasses what’s known as so-called Joshua Tree National Park, Twentynine Palms, and Wonder Valley.

We at Wonder Mountain Open Source Space acknowledge the Serrano, Cahuilla, Chemehuevi and Mohave (Mojave) indigenous people, the traditional custodians of this land. We recognize the ongoing impact of colonization and displacement on Indigenous communities. We honor their deep connection to this place and their enduring stewardship of the land and waters.

Wonder Mountain Open Source Space Residency welcomes LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC artists and creators to an immersive two-week program offered year-round. This residency embraces a wide spectrum of visionaries—writers, visual artists, musicians, filmmakers, performers, designers, digital innovators, cultural workers, community builders, healers, curators, scientists, and multidisciplinary makers of all kinds. We also encourage groups and collectives to apply, as well as those who wish to facilitate community-engagement workshops. Set in the wide-open desert landscape of Wonder Valley, California—just a short drive from Joshua Tree National Park—our space offers both stillness and inspiration. Here, creators can step away from the noise, reflect and reset, nurture bold new ideas, and reconnect with the elemental cycles of nature and cosmos.

Residency fees are $1250 USD for two-week stays. Longer stays are negotiable and scholarships are available. Note: The residency fee does not include food and travel. However, free transportation can be arranged in advance from the Palm Springs Airport.

We encourage artists and writers seeking a quiet and inspiring rural desert environment to apply to Wonder Mountain Open Source Space. Our space is surrounded by the plants and creatures of the Mojave: Yucca brevifolia is indigenous to the region and isn’t found anywhere else in the world. Come see the desert flowers in bloom as the meteor showers explode in the darkness and stillness of Wonder Valley. Wonder Mountain Open Source Space encourages creative professionals of all backgrounds to apply for admission. The space is centered on principles of self-reflexive artistic practice that embraces the healing elements of the land as a site of reciprocal action. We envision an aesthetics of generosity, compassion, and an astral breadth of scope that seeks to nourish the creative spirit in all producers who venture to travel here.

The space is located on the traditional ancestral homelands of the Serrano, Cahuilla, Chemehuevi and Mohave (Mojave) indigenous communities, the land that encompasses what’s known as so-called Joshua Tree National Park, Twentynine Palms, and Wonder Valley.

We at Wonder Mountain Open Source Space acknowledge the Serrano, Cahuilla, Chemehuevi and Mohave (Mojave) indigenous people, the traditional custodians of this land. We recognize the ongoing impact of colonization and displacement on Indigenous communities. We honor their deep connection to this place and their enduring stewardship of the land and waters.
