About the Open Call

The Anita Wetzel Residency Grant is a new opportunity focused on mature artists (45 years old and up) to create new work and fully immerse themselves in WSW’s supportive environment. This residency gives artists the necessity of time and space to live and work away from the stresses of daily life. Artists may choose to work in any one or more of our studios: intaglio, letterpress, papermaking, screen printing, or darkroom photography. WSW provides housing and studio space at no cost. Additionally, the selected artist will receive a stipend and travel support. Artists receive a thorough studio orientation and are expected to work independently.

What is Offered

4-6 weeks of housing and studio space, a stipend of $350 per week, up to $500 for materials, and up to $250 toward travel within the Continental US.

Requirements

Applicants must be 45 years old or older. Artists are expected to work independently in the studios. The artist is responsible for meals and incidental expenses.
