Belger Arts Ceramics Residency Programs

About the Open Call

The Ceramics Residency Programs at Belger Arts provide artists with focused time and space in a communal studio environment. The Foundation Residency is a one-year term (with possible renewal) designed for emerging artists to gain experience in a large working studio, offering a $1,000 materials stipend and a $500 firing stipend. The Visiting Artist Residency is for mid-career artists (5+ years experience) seeking short-term professional development (1-6 months). Both programs provide semi-private studio space and require community interaction through artist talks, workshops, or studio monitoring.
