Residency opportunities are open to national and international artists 21+ years of age showing a robust creative practice. A variety of disciplines are accepted including, but not limited to, visual arts, media/new genre, performance, architecture, film/video, literature, interdisciplinary arts, and music composition.

Artists enrolled in an academic program during the time of the residency opportunity are not eligible to apply.

We will furnish acceptance letters for international residents, but residents are responsible for their own visa.

No application fee

The application process is in two stages: a Jury panel will select the shortlisted artists, and each shortlisted artist will be asked for a 10 -15 minute Skype/phone interview.

Four weeks and a two weeks session

$1300 is a subsidized rate and covers a private bedroom, private studio, stocked kitchen, and most food. The actual cost of each residency is $5,000 per month. Thanks to the generous support of donors and grants, the artist’s contribution for an individual residency is $ 1300 per month per person. Our Young Artist Fellowship awards a no-fee one-month residency to one resident each summer.

There is an additional security deposit of $200. The security deposit is returned within 30 days of the end of residency if the bedroom and studio are left in satisfactory condition. Checks are mailed to the address provided on the application.

The $1300 residency fee and the $200 security deposit are due after receiving the contract around late March-early April. Payment plan can be an option.

Each year ChaNorth awards one fellowship to cover residency fees to an artist under 30 years of age. All eligible applicants are considered for the fellowship. Fellowship recipients are responsible for their own travel, art supplies, $200 deposit, and incidentals.

Creative partners are welcome if they are included in the initial applications. Please note that at this time there is only one bed in each room (double, full or twin depending on the room). The first creative partner is charged the full residency fee and the second is charged $480.

If you need to cancel your residency for any reason before your session, this deposit will not be refunded. We will refund the $1200 if we receive email notice of cancellation at least 10 weeks before residency session.

If you need to the residency leave early, you are still responsible for your entire monthly fee.
