Eligibility

Artists must be at least 21 years of age by the start of the residency period. Residencies are 12-months (limited number of 3-month residencies also available)..

Artists who prefer to live alone and can afford the full residency participation fee can apply for an entire live/work studio. The spaces for artists living solo will generally be 877 sq ft (81.5 sq m) with a kitchenette and two bathrooms.

Artists who are willing to share the live/work studio space are able to split the fees. If you are applying as a group of two or more artists, you can file a single application.

Artists of all disciplines will be considered for the residency program, including visual arts, performing arts, literary arts, film, fashion, architecture, design and culinary arts.

Please keep in mind that certain features of the building may make it challenging for some artists. The building is an historic landmark, and so the only ventilation for the studios are the windows. No open flames or toxic materials with fumes can be used inside the building.

There are no geographic restrictions, but international artists must secure any necessary visas. The length of the residency is 12 months, with a limited number of 3-month residencies.

Application

The application re-opens on July 1st 2025 and artists will be accepted on a rolling basis, with no more than 10 artists moving in each month.

Although we can make exceptions, artists in general should apply three months before their desired start date.

Artist applications are reviewed during the first week of each month by a panel of ARTS 14C staff and outside experts, and in-person or virtual interviews may be scheduled.  The panels evaluate applicants in four categories:  talent, drive to build a career in the arts, participation and contribution to the existing community, and the extent to which Project 14C can help the artist further their career.

There is no fee to apply.
