Description

Women's Studio Workshop (WSW)'s mission is to operate and maintain an artists’ workspace that encourages the voice and vision of women, trans, intersex, nonbinary, and genderfluid artists. WSW has January 15th application deadlines for the following artist opportunities: the Anita Wetzel Residency Grant and Studio Residency Grant. Applications are also open for the Ora Schneider Regional Residency Grant with a deadline of March 31st. 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. Artists may choose to work in any of our studio disciplines: intaglio, letterpress, papermaking, screenprinting, or photography. This residency is fully subsidized. WSW provides housing and studio space at no cost. Additionally, the selected artist will receive a stipend of $350/week, up to $500 for materials used during the residency, and up to $250 toward travel within the Continental US. Artists receive a thorough studio orientation and are expected to work independently, although studio staff is available to provide assistance. Deep technical assistance can be arranged for an additional fee. Studio Residency Grant is a six- to eight-week residency for artists to create new work in any of our studio disciplines. WSW invites applications from artists at any stage in their careers. This grant includes a stipend of $350/week, up to $500 for materials used during the residency, up to $250 for travel within the Continental US, free onsite housing, and 24/7 studio access. WSW can also provide technical advice and production assistance. This residency has a two-step jury process: a rotating, impartial jury selects the finalists and then WSW applies for NEA funding for the chosen projects. The Ora Schneider Regional Grant is a month-long residency for artists residing in Greene, Columbia, Delaware, Dutchess, Ulster, Sullivan, and Orange counties. This grant includes a $1500 stipend and 24/7 studio access. Free onsite housing can also be arranged.
