Additional Accessibility Information

Interlude is currently located on the site of an old farmhouse near Hudson, NY that was once a grain store for a mill on the nearby creek. It was built onto many times during the years and contains many staircases. It is not ADA compliant.

The grounds of the property are also on two levels most directly navigated by stair. Our main studio spaces are accessible, but at this time we can't easily accommodate artists with mobility issues. We hope to work to resolve this lack of accessibility in the near future.

Grand Canyon Artist-In-Residence

Grand Canyon, AZ, United States

The Grand Canyon Conservancy (GCC) Artist-In-Residence program is designed to host individual artists with a well-developed body of work that engages contemporary themes -- especially those tied to conservation, cultural identity, and community. The residency prioritizes artists whose work and public programs are site-specific and best fit the goals of telling stories that have been excluded, hidden, unknown, untold, or under-emphasized.  The residency embraces an artist-focused, open-ended model that prioritizes on-site research and exploration in the interest of creating deeper personal and public relationships with the Grand Canyon. While the residency is a highly immersive experience and community outreach is an important aspect of the engagement, artists can spend time on-site as they wish.

We are a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-generational cooperative of creatives, educators, and farmers with a common mission to create a community based on shared values and democratic principles. We believe in sustainable living through regenerative agriculture, community outreach, education, and inclusivity. 

We are guests and caretakers of 66 acres of wooded property with trails, forest, fields, and streams in the lush green mountains of unceded Abenaki land in Fletcher, Vermont. Join us to begin conversations around social, racial, and environmental justice and the role we, as artist/educators/activists, play in uplifting the next generation of artist/activist leaders! We have beautiful outdoor spaces for plein air painting, abundant woods for crafting and sculpting with natural materials, and woods to explore for inspiration and contemplation. Bring your sustainable art supplies, small tools, sketchbooks, and wisdom, to make art, grow food, and be the change we want to see in the world!

We offer short term (2 week) and long term (4, 6 & 8 week) residencies. You may stay in the Dream House, or Yurt.  Our residency is meant to inspire you, offer a place to rest, and support creativity surrounded by nature.  Artists, writers, think-tanks, educators and learners, farmers and community activists, and culture workers are invited to apply.

Fountainhead Residency

Miami, FL, United States

Fountainhead Residency provides artists with connections to thrive in their careers and a nurturing environment to create, converse, inspire and be inspired.

During each month-long residency, artists are personally introduced to nationally recognized curators, collectors, and gallerists for one-on-one studio visits, offering a one-of-kind opportunity for mentorship, insight, and perspective on their work. They are invited to experiment, investigate, and reflect, while being immersed in the local cultural landscape. Artists-in-residence receive roundtrip airfare, living and working accommodations and a stipend. They meet local artists and explore Miami’s major museums, collections and galleries. Attorneys, financial professionals and business consultants are available for critical entrepreneurial guidance.

At the end of each month, Fountainhead welcomes the public into the residency to meet the artists, view their work, and learn what inspires them. In pursuit of supporting artists financially, works are made available for sale, and the organization works directly with the artist and honors any gallery representation agreements to facilitate these sales. Fountainhead’s proceeds directly support the program and its artist community, funding artist stipends, honorariums, and artist programs.

Artists live and work communally in a 1950s home, iconic of Miami’s Modern architectural style, in the historic and centrally-located Morningside neighborhood. The residency is surrounde

Print + Paper Technical Residencies

Colton, OR, United States

We are excited to announce the evolving relationship between our two technical residency programs that will be concurrently hosted at our partner campus Camp Colton, in fall 2022 and spring 2023. Applications are now open to apply to either our letterpress printing focused residency, or our hand papermaking focused residency. There is no fee to apply or participate, more details on the application process below.

For both residencies we are hoping to engage with artists working with the theme(s) of land, flora and fauna, place, craft, ancestral knowledge, time and related themes. Successful applicants will speak to how their art/craft practice relates to these ideas. Examples of experimentation with process and connection to materiality are also encouraged via applicant work samples.

By hosting these residencies concurrently, we envision opportunities for convergence and conversation between these allied art forms as well as between the residents. The rural, secluded setting of Camp Colton grounds the residencies in connection to nature and provides time for focused engagement with craft.

An independent committee of 4 alumni from the technical residency programs will review applications and make recommendations for residency finalists. Jury announcements will be made in late May. All finalists will be interviewed via zoom by the Stelo co-leaders and Camp Colton partners. 

Selection is based on: work samples, communication of themes relating to social, political, and/or environmental issues, connection to materiality, and the ability to work in a small creative community. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are priorities for Stelo and Camp Colton. We encourage applicants from historically marginalized communities to apply as we seek to uplift a variety of perspectives and lived experiences.

A place to write and film and create. To find and renew creativity while surrounded by spiral-vined gardens, creaky wraparound porches and towering magnolias. To walk among the whispers of friendly ghosts and pastoral splendor. Quiet nights and productive, inspiring days, imaginative minds awakening, sweet music originating, the savory aroma of a country meal, the satisfaction of a finished page or canvas. The Bowers House Creative Retreat offers customized workspace for artists and academic residency programs in literature, music and some fine art disciplines. We are currently accepting applications for minimum one week group or single residencies, where baths and kitchens are shared and clean up is essential. Resident members agree to provide for film and audio programming a recap or focus of their creative work via readings, concerts, public performances interviews workshop directorships or lessons for BOWERS HOUR, the fundraising programming program that keeps the facility on a perpetual operation. Visiting guests may be present, and room and facility rentals keep the lights on in the 100 year old hotel, and cooperation and quiet consideration of work day time is observed by all who stay here. We welcome collaborative production and cosponsorship when possible with the missionl of one day being able to provide this opportunity to those who might night be otherwise able to have this residency experience.

Addition buildings can be rented for public performances only steps from the facility and co-sponsored opportunities are available when used in Bowers Hour programming, which final episode is provided for artists use and promotion as well. We often open performances outside where audience sits on lawn during the production. The interior of the old hotel is often used by film and video photography residents, documentarians and historians as a backdrop during presentations and workshops or for filmed theatre resident productions of their work. We can arrange additional services like Lake Hartwell day trips or State Park outings, and and outparcel of Bower's land offers a quiet interior forest setting a block or so away. The 2 acre grounds and gardens and small 1920s style downtown vista and plenty of outside room to spread out gives natural workshop space about half of the year.

Residency Projects FAQ

  • Are Residency Projects required as part of my residency? No
  • What is a Residency Project? Residency Projects can be on-site or off-site activations, performances, or community-focused engagement projects to be completed within the timeframe of your residency. We are open and flexible, but we do have a limited budget and small staff, so we are committed to funding projects that work to fulfill our mission.
  • Can the Residency Project be a gallery exhibition? For the most part, the answer is no. Our exhibitions are organized by our staff and through an open call. We have found that the time you are in residence is rarely enough time to fully develop and create an exhibition, as well as properly promote and handle all of the behind-the-scenes logistics. If you do want to do an exhibition as your residency project, we may consider this in certain cases (i.e. where you use your entire residency to build a site-specific installation). Feel free to email us if you have any questions.
  • How does this work? After you are selected as an Artist-in-Residence, you are then eligible to propose a Residency Project. Proposals are due September 1st of the year prior to your residency (i.e. if your residency is in 2023, then your proposal is due no later than September 1st, 2022). Proposals should include a description of the project, any images, sketches, etc that might support your idea, and a budget. Our staff will review and then schedule a meeting to talk through any questions.
  • Is there funding for the Residency Projects? Yes, you will need to submit a budget proposal for up to $2,000. Budgets should include line items and a breakdown of expenses. Examples of allowable expenses include fees for collaborating artists or speakers, contractors (i.e. if you want this to be documented then include the cost of the videographer, if you need fabricators to help build a structure, dancers, musicians, etc), materials, equipment purchase or rental. You may not use this budget to pay yourself. We have a small inventory of tech equipment such as projectors, speakers, a camera, etc. If your budget includes purchasing certain equipment, note that The Nicholson Project will be the owner of this equipment.

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

The Mesa Refuge has some accessibility features and we are also located on wild, natural land. To enter the house, there is one step up as you walk in the front door. There is another step up as you enter the kitchen and the downstairs bedroom wing. The house has three bedrooms, one of which is upstairs. The other two bedrooms are on the ground floor, each have private bathrooms. One of the bathrooms is mobility-ready and has many accessible features including an accessible sink, toilet and walk-in shower with mobility bars. 

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

The grounds and gardens surrounding the property are well tended but there are many natural and rustic features throughout including uneven ground and rock pathways in the garden. As two of the studios are outside of the main house and on the grounds, this could make these two studios inaccessible to someone with limited mobility.
