PUERTO RICO FELLOWSHIP / PUERTO RICO ARTIST-PARENT FELLOWSHIP

For our third year, we are pleased to offer fully funded, 4-week residencies for a select number of artists, writers or performers who live and work in Puerto Rico. Artists also receive travel and food stipends.

This year we also offer an opportunity for an artist-parent from Puerto Rico to stay for a shorter 2-week residency. In addition to the shorter opportunity and all of the fellowship funds above, the awarded artist will receive an additional stipend to use for child care or related expenses during their time away.

Our sincere gratitude to the Dorothea L. Leonhardt Foundation and the Sustainable Art Foundation for supporting these fellowships.


UNIVERSITY FELLOWSHIPS

Thanks to the support of our university partners, The Studios is able to offer fully funded residencies to current or recent M.F.A. students from ten different graduate school programs, including The University of Arkansas, Boston University, Corcoran, MassArt, MICA, Stamps, University of Oregon, PAFA, VCU, and SVA. Each school’s fellowship has slightly different eligibility guidelines, so read the details of the fellowship on our Financial Aid page before applying.
