Environmental Artist Residency 2027

A funded environmental artist residency on Nantucket focused on work engaging the environment, climate, and natural world. The selected artist receives a $3,000 stipend, $500 in travel expenses, housing, a private studio, and an exhibition at the Artists Association of Nantucket’s Champion Gallery. The residency runs April 11–May 8, 2027.

Environment, climate, the natural world, and Nantucket’s changing coastal landscape

Open to emerging and established artists age 18 or older working in all mediums. Apply by email with one PDF containing 8–12 images or links to time-based work, a CV, a 300–500 word statement, and a 500–750 word residency proposal. The selected artist must give an artist talk, develop one community creative experience such as a workshop or participatory artwork, and participate in public engagement, including work with local youth. Collaboration with named Nantucket environmental organizations on a walk-and-talk or site-based project is optional. The exhibition may include work made during the residency, existing work, or both. The organizer’s application PDF reportedly contains conflicting year information, dating the residency “4/11-5/8, 2026” and giving a notification date of “by December 21, 2027.”
