Get matched →Each year, the Saltonstall Foundation awards free, stipend-supported residencies to artists and writers who are residents of New York State and Indian Nations therein. We support individual artists and writers working in Poetry, Fiction, Photography & Filmmaking, Painting, Sculpture, and Visual Arts. The residency is a small community of five individuals at a time: one poet, one prose writer, one photographer or filmmaker, and two visual artists. Each group arrives and departs at the same time. We value a diverse community and encourage all artists and writers to apply, regardless of education, experience, race, age, sex, religious belief, marital status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or national origin.
Saltonstall is located eight miles east of Ithaca, New York on the traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of the Gayogo̱hó:nǫ' Nation (generally known as the Cayuga Nation), one of the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. While Ithaca is a short 15-minute drive away, the residency is situated in a rural neighborhood.
We welcome applications from artists and writers with physical disabilities. Our accessible addition, completed in 2021, includes a private accessible living space with a roll-in shower, a private accessible studio (for a visual artist or writer), a shared accessible kitchen and dining area, accessible laundry facilities, and an adjoining private suite for a personal care assistant if needed.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
