GrantID: 74061
Grant Funding Amount Low: $1,500
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $2,000
Summary
Offers a serene, four-season residency on a ranch in northern Wyoming, designed for visual artists, writers, composers, choreographers, performance and interdisciplinary creators. The program hosts about 115 fellows per year—typically in cohorts of up to ten artists—during two seasonal sessions: spring (Feb–Jun) and fall (Aug–Dec).
Each selectee receives a private studio, cozy living accommodations, meals prepared by a professional chef during weekdays with well‑stocked provisions for weekends, and a stipend (around $1,000) to help cover travel and project-related costs. Residents enjoy uninterrupted time amid a supportive creative community and shared meals in a communal setting, fostering connection across disciplines.
Applications are open to both emerging and established professionals showcasing a strong track record in their respective fields. Submissions require work samples, a project proposal, and references. There's a modest application fee of $40 for general residencies, while fellowships dedicated to Native American visual artists and writers are fee‑waived. Notifications are typically issued about sixteen weeks post-deadline.
Special Native American fellowships offer an enhanced experience, including a $2,000 award and opportunities for public exhibitions or performances . Additional endowed residencies—such as those for dance in partnership with major organizations—bring newly built facilities like the dedicated dance studio.
This resident-centered residency is provided at no cost, apart from the application fee; fellows arrive with their own materials and are responsible for travel. The program nurtures deep creative focus, removing everyday distractions to allow artists to immerse themselves in exploration and experimentation.
