Hey all, so, I tried to find a lot of different things and keep it as clear as possible, but I may have gone overboard. Anyway, I hope some of this stuff is useful!!!
Ashkal Alwan, Lebanon
Home Workspace Program: http://www.ashkalalwan.org/hwp.aspx
“The HWP is an annual, interdisciplinary arts program launched by
Ashkal Alwan in 2011. The program targets emerging artists who wish to develop
their formal, historical, and critical skills and practice in a supportive
environment in Beirut.
Each edition or
class of the HWP runs for 10 months, led by a different Resident Professor (RP)
(or Resident Professors (RPs) as is the case in 2013-14) each year and
admitting 10-15 participants. Part academic, part practice-based, the
curriculum consists of lectures, workshops and seminars by the RP(s) and other
leading local and international artists, writers, thinkers, filmmakers,
curators, etc. Participants work on collective projects, as well as develop
their own in coordination with the RP(s), visiting professors, and assigned
mentors.
In addition to the
curriculum, participants also benefit from a support-network of individuals,
professionals, venues and resources around Beirut and elsewhere in Lebanon.
Participants are
expected to reside in Beirut for 10 months with limited outside engagements, to
participate actively in the various activities initiated by the RP(s) and visiting
guests, and to develop and produce a project.
Fabric
Workshop Museum, Philladelphia, PA: http://www.fabricworkshopandmuseum.org/Education/College.aspx
“Students from
Philadelphia and from other U.S. or international locations are invited to
apply to the College and Post-Graduate Apprentice Training Program. A full-time

Artist Support Program: http://www.tokyo-ws.org/english/aboutus/easp.html
“The program for artists, a
support program for aspiring planners (curators) was implemented in 2006,
inviting young exhibition organizers to apply with concrete plans for art
shows.In the previous two rounds we received next to entries from planners
(curators) also numerous exhibition proposals from artists planning exhibitions
with their own participation. Many of those artists' self-produced exhibition
outlines were based on innovative ideas for types of art beyond existing
genres.”

“Emerging artists selected
from an open applications by Tokyo Wonder Site are sent to live and work in art
spaces and cultural institutions overseas that cooperated, while artists from
international counterparts are reciprocally invited to spend time at TWS
Aoyama:Creator-in-Residence. Artists are sent to various cities, where they
engage with local artists and do creative work. Emerging artists from around
the world meanwhile also be invited in TWS Aoyama:Creator-in-Residence and

Vermont
Studio Center: http://www.vermontstudiocenter.org/
“Founded by artists in 1984, the
Vermont Studio Center is the largest international artists' and writers'
Residency Program in the United States, hosting 50 visual artists and writers
each month from across the country and around the world.
The Studio Center provides 4-12 week
studio residencies on an historic 30-building campus along the Gihon River in
Johnson, Vermont, a village in the heart of the northern Green Mountains.”
Chautauqua
Art Institute, NY, USA http://www.ciweb.org/school-of-art/
“Artists
need other serious artists if they are going to exceed their individual
possibilities. For almost every artist, conviction without meaningful dialogue
has critical limitations. That genuine exchange among serious artists is
precisely what I have aimed for in developing the Chautauqua School of Art over
the past 27 summers. Everything about the structure of the program—the faculty
invited to participate, the students selected, even the layout of the
studios—is geared toward that end.
The School of Art offers serious young artists
a chance to give themselves over to a sustained period of exploration. The
emphasis is on a period of study in depth with a limited number of selected
instructors and a close-knit group of students. Repeatedly students have
commented that one thing they realize during the summer is that it takes
several weeks of intense involvement for the work, the ideas and the experience
to ferment, and by the second half of the summer things really begin to come
together. For this reason, the program does not compromise the length of the
session, nor does it permit part-time study.”
Cite
Internationale des Arts , Paris, France: http://citedesarts.pagesperso-orange.fr/cite-internationale-des-arts-english-presentation.html
“CiteInternationale des Arts
is intended to provide short or long stays (2 months to 1 year) for
professional artists who want to develop an artistic work in France.The Cité
Internationale des Arts is a foundation directed to the public benefit since
1957.
It is related to a vast
network of partners and associates. Its founders include a large number of
States, schools, institutes, universities and ministries from close to 50
countries all across the world. Three of its historic founders and key partners
are the City of Paris, the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs.
The facilities of the Cité
are divided between two locations in Paris :
The
site located at 18 rue de l’Hôtel de Ville includes 270 individual workshops in
the heart of the Marais district, a dynamic quarter swarming with art galleries
and a favorite destination for Parisians.
Residents may practice their artistic discipline and develop their creative techniques for the duration of their stay at the Cité Internationale des Arts. The residence also houses an exhibition area where artists can display their works and an auditorium where they can perform concerts”

Instituto Sacatar, Brazil: http://www.sacatar.org/
“The
Instituto Sacatar provides unstructured time and space for creative individuals
to develop new work. Specifically, a Fellowship to Sacatar
provides:
· Reimbursement for
roundtrip airfare between the artist's closest international airport and
Salvador, Bahia, Brazil
· A private bedroom
with attached bath
· A separate studio
· All meals
(except on Saturday night, all day Sunday and holidays)
The
Fellowships do not include a stipend. Artists are responsible for
incidental expenses and all working materials. Once on the island, artists are
responsible for their local transportation, although we meet artists at the
airport on the first day of the residency session to take them the first time to
our island estate.
In
addition, the program staff will assist artists who wish to show their work or
share their skills while in Bahia, helping artists make the necessary local
contacts to achieve these goals. While the purpose of a Sacatar Fellowship is
to provide creative individuals the time and space to develop new work, many
participants are eager to share what they produce during their
residencies. To this end and to the extent possible, we will arrange for
theaters, exhibition spaces, classrooms, etc., both on the island and in
Salvador, and we will help find collaborators, musicians, students, actors and
other volunteers to realize project proposals. Wages on the island are
low and some artists also contract studio assistants at a daily wage.”
Edward F. Albee Foundation: http://www.albeefoundation.org/Welcome.html
“Mission
The Edward F. Albee Foundation exists to serve writers and visual
artists from all walks of life, by providing time and space in which to work
without disturbance.
Using only talent and need as the criteria for selection, the
Foundation invites any and all artists to apply.
History and
Setting
Founded in 1967 by Edward Albee, after proceeds from his play Who's
Afraid of Virginia Woolf? proved
abundant, the Foundation had maintained the William Flanagan Memorial Creative
Persons Center (better known as
"The Barn") in Montauk, on Long Island in New York, as a residence
for writers and visual artists.
The Center is open from mid-May to mid-October and can accommodate
comfortably up to five persons at a time. Residencies are for both 4 and 6 week
periods of time. The standards for admission are, simply, talent and need.
Located approximately two miles from the center of Montauk and the
Atlantic Ocean, "The Barn" rests in a secluded knoll which offers
privacy and a peaceful atmosphere. The Foundation expects all those accepted
for residence to work seriously and to conduct themselves in such a manner as
to aid fellow residents in their endeavors. Writers are offered a room; visual
artists are offered a room and studio space. Residents are responsible for
their food, travel, and other expenses. The environment is simple and communal.
Residents are expected to do their share in maintaining the condition of
"The Barn" as well as its peaceful environment.”
Elsewhere, Greesboro, North Caronlina : http://www.goelsewhere.org/residencies/
“Elsewhere, a living museum set in a former
thrift store in downtown Greensboro, NC, is now accepting applications for 2013
residencies. Elsewhere residencies invite artists, curators, scholars, makers,
storytellers, archivists, and educators to contribute to and interpret
Elsewhere’s concepts, collections, and communities utilizing the museum’s
immense 58-year collection of second-hand surplus as resource and inspiration
for site-specific projects.
Elsewhere’s three-story museum is an
evolving environment of living installations, public studios, and material
resources. Elsewhere offers an experimental context for investigating material
culture, engaging process and practice, and developing new collaborative
approaches. Elsewhere is an active participant in the vitalization of its
emerging downtown neighborhood, and an exceptional place for rethinking things
in everyday and extraordinary culture.
Individuals and collaborative teams
working across media, fields, and disciplines are encouraged to apply.
Residencies are for 2-6 week project periods. Creative retreats, internships, fellowships and curatorial fellowships are also available.”
Exploratorium, San Francisco http://www.exploratorium.edu/arts/artist-residence
“Since its inception in
1974, the Exploratorium’s Artist-in-Residence Program has grown to include
hundreds of artists and performers. The museum works with individuals and
artist groups who are drawn to collaboration, interested in interdisciplinary
dialogue, and open to developing new working methods. Projects have taken
countless forms, such as multimedia performances, theatrical productions,
animated filmmaking, immersive installations, walking tours, and online
projects. The program allows for artists to embed within the unique culture of
the institution, affords access to a dynamic and diverse staff, and provides
opportunities for cross-pollination with a broad public. While the museum allows
room for variance, residencies typically unfold over two years and include both
an exploratory and project development phase.”
Whitney Independent Study Program: http://whitney.org/Research/ISP
The Independent Study Program (ISP) consists of three interrelated parts: Studio Program,
Curatorial Program, and Critical Studies Program. The ISP provides a setting within which
students pursuing art practice, curatorial work, art historical scholarship,
and critical writing engage in ongoing discussions and debates that examine the
historical, social, and intellectual conditions of artistic production. The
program encourages the theoretical and critical study of the practices,
institutions, and discourses that constitute the field of culture.
Each year fifteen students are selected to participate in the
Studio Program, four in the Curatorial Program, and six in the Critical Studies
Program. Curatorial and critical studies students are designated as Helena
Rubinstein Fellows in recognition of the substantial support provided to the
program by the Helena Rubinstein Foundation. The program begins in early
September and concludes at the end of the following May. Many of the
participants are enrolled at universities and art schools and receive academic
credit for their participation, while others have recently completed their
formal studies.
