What is Offered

Work-only studio space, participation in a community of international artists, and support letters for visa applications upon request.

Requirements

Open to international emerging and mid-career artists working in any discipline. Applicants must be proficient in English and are responsible for program fees (e.g., $9,900 for three months in 2026), travel, health insurance, and accommodation.

How to Apply

Internationally based artists may apply at any time using the rolling application link on Submittable. Applications are reviewed and decisions are sent within 3-4 weeks after submission. Artists can also apply during bi-annual open calls.
