Foundation House Artist Residency Program Application

 

Please note that, due to the limited time period between the close of applications and the start of the residency session, we are no longer able to accept applicants from countries that would require obtaining a visa for travel.

 

Application is now open for our Fall 2026 Session!

 

Fall Session Dates:

November 27th to December 6th, 2026

Foundation House, located in backcountry Greenwich, CT, will open its doors for 10 days to six residents, allowing residents the time and space for concentrated creation in beautiful and inspiring surroundings. Foundation House’s mission as a nonprofit center for learning is to focus on mental health, environmental, and social justice issues. To that end, we host residencies, workshops, lectures, and other meaningful gatherings on these topics.  

At Foundation House, we believe that conversations about these critical topics are not complete without the input of creatives, and it is our privilege to be able to offer space for artists of all disciplines to work and therefore be a part of those conversations.

  

​

Each resident will be given a stipend, a private bedroom, and private or semi-private bathroom, all meals plus full kitchen access, and access to a studio space, a wide variety of common areas, and 75 acres of land to explore and enjoy. Residents will eat dinner together every evening to ensure that they are building relationships and familiarizing themselves with each other's work, facilitating feedback and collaboration. Our residency is a working residency. Accepted residents are expected to carry through with their proposed projects and create work that is aligned with Foundation House's mission.

​

Foundation House is committed to diversity and inclusion, and we prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind.​​

​

The Fall 2026 application will close on September 7th, 2026, at 11:59 PM EST. 

Accepted applicants will hear back from us in around two to three weeks after applications close. Applicants will hear back from us either way, so if you have not heard from us yet it only means we have not finished reviewing. Please be sure to check your spam/junk folder if you do not hear back from us within the time period stated above.

 

***We highly recommend writing your application in a separate document and pasting your answers into the form so as not to lose any work should there be any application issues. 

Once you submit, please check your spam folder for the email confirmation before submitting a duplicate application.***

 

Thank you for your interest in Foundation House, and we look forward to reviewing your application!
