Emmanuel College Artist-in-Residence Program 2027

About this call

The Emmanuel College Art Department in Boston, United States, offers a six-week summer residency to four artists, from June 16 to July 28, 2027, aiming to award one residency in each of four categories: Ceramics, Photography, Printmaking and Social Practice. Residents receive a $1,500 stipend, lodging in the college dormitories with access to a small kitchen, and access to shared studios including the Ceramics Studio, Wood Shop, Print Shop, Photography Studio, Darkroom, Design Lab and Drawing and Painting Studio. International artists may be eligible for up to $1,000 more toward travel and visa costs. The residency ends with an on-campus exhibition, and each artist donates one work to the college.
