Our Work and Family Fellowship offers no-fee residencies and $500 honorariums to several family residents per year. If you are interested, there is a single question to answer in the application. Please take some time to reflect on the ways in which care and caregiving, whatever those words mean to you, come through (or might come through) in your work. It’s okay if this isn’t something you’ve considered before. We think of this Fellowship as a starting point towards building a future where artists shape the way society sees and values care.
Applications are run through our SlideRoom portal. Notification of acceptance will occur within 90 days of the application due date. Accepted applicants will have 7 days to commit to attending the residency. After confirmation, resident’s security deposit and contract are due.
