Applications are open year-round on a rolling basis. Applicants should submit: a few lines about themselves, a very brief description of their residency plan, links to their work online (no PDF), and preferred dates.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
The residency includes a resident cat, Campari. The residency is therefore not suitable for individuals with cat allergies. Artists retain full ownership and rights to their work.
