Pyramid Atlantic Art Center’s Keyholder Residency is a competitive opportunity for emerging to mid-career artists who want to have unlimited access to the studios in exchange for working 8 hours a week for Pyramid Atlantic. The residency is awarded to artists who hope to gain more knowledge and improve their skills in the printmaking, papermaking, or book arts studios. Two artists are selected twice a year by the Pyramid Atlantic artistic staff. Keyholders work in a productive community atmosphere alongside other artists and are expected to abide by all studio policies. Housing is not provided, although, upon acceptance, artists will receive information on opportunities of nearby housing.

CREEKSIDE ARTS is an Artist-in-Residence Program that is a unique opportunity to reflect, create, and explore in an inspiring setting among the Redwoods of Northern California. Preference will be given to applications that demonstrate a project focus on what is dear to our community: Land, place, community, nature, climate, education, and social and political consciousness.

We provide an inspiring natural setting among the coastal redwoods of Northern California for individuals as well as collaborative artistic work and expression. We welcome artists from a broad range of creative disciplines. We provide a unique opportunity to reflect, create and explore away from the hectic demands and constraints of daily life.

Our location in the heart of the redwoods and home of the Wiyot people provides a natural setting that guides our commitment to a healthy and sustainable environment. Our program facilitates an exchange of creative thought and expression between participants, the neighborhood, and the larger Northern California community with a focus on new work with a social and political consciousness.

Our one week Fall Writers residency provides each artist with fully equipped private living quarters and individual separate work/studio spaces. In addition to providing a space for solitary work, our program supports and encourages a collaborative atmosphere. Evening gatherings provide an opportunity to get to know the other resident artists as well as the permanent members of the Creekside Arts community.

Films, discussions, and exchanges with local Northern California writers are a part of these gatherings. Our residencies conclude with a creative interaction with the larger Humboldt County community.

Imagine spending a week nestled along the breathtaking Northern California Pacific Coast, surrounded by the majestic Redwood Forest and Wiyot land. At Creekside Arts, we believe in the power of the written and spoken word—storytelling. That’s why we’re excited to announce our Fall Writers Residency Program. We invite writers and storytellers to spend a week with us at Creekside Arts.

If you’re a writer or storyteller of any persuasion, this is the perfect opportunity for you to share your tale, whether it’s a fable, poem, fantasy, or autobiography. We’re looking for artists whose work aims to captivate and transport audiences through the power of their narratives.

During your stay, you will be supported by an environment that’s both nurturing and inspiring. Our symbiotic collaborative energy will encourage you to create, imagine, and practice your skills, surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of our surroundings. Join us for an unforgettable experience where you’ll have the freedom to write, explore, collaborate, and perform and bring your writing and storytelling to new heights.

The McColl Center's internationally acclaimed Artist-in-Residence program serves as a catalyst for growth for emerging and mid-career artists. McColl Center hosts three residency terms per year—fall, winter/spring, and summer, for four artists per term. An artist residency at McColl Center is a moment to think big, take risks in the creative process, and explore ideas within the context of Charlotte.

Artists-in-residence receive private housing adjacent to McColl Center, a large-scale private studio in our historic building in Uptown Charlotte, curatorial guidance, marketing and PR support, and a generous stipend. While in residency, our artists have the freedom to fully focus on artistic research, exploration, and creation while also engaging with McColl Center’s Igniters community and the local creative sector.

The Winter-Spring 2025 Artist-in-Residence program runs from January 7 - April 14, 2025.

NOTE: A strong applicant is one who is clear about their intentions for their proposal, who writes a thoughtful and clear response to the “listening” question, and whose proposal can realistically be accomplished within the 12.5 K project budget and Stove Works' capacity as an organization. Keeping in mind that Stove Works has a small staff, and unless you budget for additional temporary labor, we will do everything in-house, soup-to-nuts, and definitely appreciate a Curator who can roll up their sleeves and get dirty with us (although not a requirement).

Loghaven Artist Residency’s mission is to serve artists by providing them with a transformative residency experience and continued post-residency support. The residency is located on ninety acres of woodland in Knoxville, Tennessee. Artists live in five historic log cabins that have been both rehabilitated and modernized to create an ideal setting for reflection and work, and they have access to new, purpose-built studio space. All Loghaven Fellows are awarded stipends to support the creation of new work during the residency.
