Apply to PPAC Artist in Residency

Our Artist Residency program assists talented, self-directed and committed artists in the creation of work. The program provides necessary financial support, access to high-end facilities, and proper technical assistance and education. Our hope is to create a transformative experience that enriches the individual artist and the community of PPAC.

Each individual residency will be one month long. Timing is flexible, but the proposed project must occur within the residency term of October 1, 2020 to June 1, 2021.

The month-long residency should be used to advance your artistic practice in a meaningful way. Artists may submit proposals that include the continuation/completion of work already in process or the creation of new work.

Accepted artists will be required to work collaboratively with PPAC to design two public program events. These programs are open to interpretation and have no bearing on final selections. Please do not include proposals for these events in your application.

What You’ll Receive

Accepted artists will receive:

• $2,500 honorarium
• $1,000 PPAC Artist Lab credit for ink usage fees and paper
• Waived hourly rental fees for printer and scanner use
• If necessary, $1,000 stipend for travel and/or housing

Restrictions

Because the Artist Residency program is intended to support working artists, students are not eligible to apply.
