Get matched →The Delaware Division of the Arts provides funding to support artist residency programs that actively engage students in the creative process with a professional artist. Eligible schools may request funding for artist residencies that support visual, literary, performing or media artists working with students in the classroom under teacher supervision, or in professional development workshops with teachers.
All Delaware Pre K-12 public, charter, private, and parochial schools with an established arts curriculum and staff are eligible to apply. Not-for-profit agencies incorporated in the state of Delaware that are licensed to provide services for preschool (pre-K – K) students are also eligible to apply. No more than one residency application may be submitted by the same organization in any school year (September through June) without permission.
Artist residencies must be scheduled for a minimum of three days. The artist’s days in a residency need not be consecutive; some sites prefer weekly visits. Where practical, a public component (exhibit, performance, or culminating presentation) is encouraged.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
Artist Residency applications are accepted on an ongoing basis but must be submitted at least four (4) weeks prior to the start of the scheduled residency. Earlier applications are recommended. The Artist Residency online application may be accessed at smARTDE.
Applicants will be notified of the decision of the grant review committee within two weeks of application submission. Awardees will receive full payment following notification of their selection.
