Dear Lone Star Art Guild,
Vermont Studio Center's Displaced Artists Fund residency fellowship is open to artists and writers worldwide who have been displaced due to a natural disaster. Any artist or writer whose practice has been directly affected by natural disaster is eligible to apply.
We currently have funding available to support up to 20 Displaced Artists Fund Fellows, each of whom will receive:
  • 4-6 week studio residency with private room, private studio space, and all meals
  • Necessary and appropriate travel support (up to $600 domestic/$1,000 international)
Artists who require additional support for materials and/or shipping may be eligible for supplemental funding on a case-by-case basis.
Please share this opportunity with any eligible artists & writers in your service area!
 

To begin the application process, follow the link above, or simply reply directly to this email with the following information:
  • The nature of the displacement
  • The nature of the artistic or writing practice 
  • Why a residency would be helpful at this time
From now through February 2018, we'll be reviewing applications during the first week of every month on a rolling basis, and there is no fee to apply.
If you need more information about this program or have specific eligibility questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
 
Thank you for helping to connect eligible artists & writers with this residency fellowship opportunity!
