2. Artists also also receive stipends, the use of private studios, technical assistance, comfortable housing, and institutional support. In addition, they are embraced by a dedicated and warm staff, all on a beautiful 50+ acre campus that is truly a creative sanctuary.

Project-Based Fellowship

These are short term, project-based residencies that are available within the months of September - December for a period of six weeks.

These residencies were developed in response to the changing needs of artists due to continued economic uncertainty and the increasing difficulty of leaving jobs, families, and studios. This shift also responds, in part, to the strategic goal of WheatonArts to better serve artists while more fully integrating their activity with the visitor experience.

Requirements:

• Over 21 years of age when Fellowship commences.
• Proficient in the English language.
• Work in view of visitors for a portion of their residency.
• Submit one work made during the Fellowship to the acquisitions committee for review. If accepted, the work will be included in the collection of the Museum of American Glass at WheatonArts.
• Capable of assisting other residents when mutually beneficial.
• Commit to one interaction with the education program that connects to the applicant's creative vision.
