Artist in Residency Program

The Residency Program is open to visual artists, interdisciplinary artists, musicians and performance artists, as well as collaborative teams. Applicants must exhibit professional standing in their field; both mature and emerging artists of promise are welcome to apply. All applicants must be at least 18 years of age or older.

Residency awards are at the sole discretion of the Foundation. Only completed applications with the required  information will be reviewed.

Artists who have applied in the past, including previous residents and those who had "Alternate" status, must submit new and complete applications to be considered for another session. This includes recent work samples and references. An artist may return after three years have elapsed since their previous residency. (Eligible to reapply in two and a half years.)

Examples should represent/relate to the field that you are appling for.

Couples composed of two artists may apply individually for concurrent residencies with the understanding that one might be accepted and the other not. Every artist accepted for a residency will be offered a private studio. The Peacock House Art Foundation is unable to invite spouses, partners, and/or family to accompany artists-in-residence under any other circumstance. 

Notification of the status of your application takes approximately fifteen weeks after the close of the call. While every effort is made to accommodate applicants' scheduling requests, we cannot always grant first choices. Please indicate your flexibility and your restrictions in your application. If you are accepted for a time slot in which you are not available, please contact the Foundation Staff as soon as possible, as a scheduling change could occur to your advantage.

​

If applying as a collaborative team, all applicants/artists need to apply, submitting additional forms within the original application for the submission to be accepted. Work samples may be individual and collaborative. Please indicate in the proposal what requirements you have for your workspace. 

Each applicant is responsible for listing the names and contact information of three references from qualified individuals who can speak to the applicant's character and is familiar with their work. Applicants must provide the name, phone number, and email address of these references. If your application is accepted, we may contact your references for further information. It is best practice to alert your references that an initial questionnaire will be sent upon submission of your application and that we may be in contact with them so that they are aware of this process.
