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 Winter 2026 session!

 

Winter Session Dates:

January 16th - January 25th, 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.

 

Please note: No applicants focusing on any area other than mental health, environmental, and social justice issues will be considered for this residency.  

​

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 and the themes of the session.

​

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

​

The Winter 2026 application will close on November 15th, 2025, at 11:59 PM EST. 

Accepted applicants will hear back from us in around two to three weeks. 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.  

 

***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!
