Residency Application - Low Season Artist Projects

Applications are due September 25th, 2026.

The Fall Residency period is November 6th – 15th, 2026.

The Low Season Artist Residency is made possible by many dedicated and generous people. In order for us to continue this work, we do need to collect a small application fee of $15 to cover administrative costs. If you would like to apply to our program but cannot pay this fee, we can offer you a one-time application fee waiver. Simply add a note stating a “waiver request”. If you are an artist who can afford more than the fee, please consider donating to pay it forward for someone who cannot. If you are applying for a second time and already received a fee waiver, please be sure to pay the application fee.

IMPORTANT: When submitting your application fee, you will be directed to a PayPal link for the Block Island Arts Council (our fiduciary sponsor). Be sure to return to this page after you submit payment and click the “submit” button at the bottom of this form.
