Here are some things I came across specifically for photography, but some of the residencies apply to all fine artists:
Emerging Photographer Grant
http://www.burnmagazine.org/emerging-photographer-grant/
“The Emerging
Photographer Grant is designed to support continuation of a photographer’s
personal project. This body of work may be of either journalistic mission or
purely personal artistic imperatives. The primary intent is to support emerging
photographers who will become the icons of tomorrow.”
In
2012, the fund awarded $10,000 to one finalist, and two runners-up received
$2,500. Over 1,000 entries are submitted
in a slew of photographic styles, though the most consistent theme is the
photojournalistic.
Manuel
Rivera-Ortiz Foundation for International Photography, Grant
“The
Manuel Rivera-Ortiz Foundation for Documentary Photography and Film will award
a US $5,000 grant to the winning documentary/reportage project proposal and
supporting image portfolio. The "Top 12" shortlisted portfolios will
be exhibited during Les Rencontres d'Arles at our sister space Galerie Huit,
located in the heart of Arles. The winning project must be completed within the
following calendar year of receiving the grant. Our grant is open to both
professional and up and coming, non-professional photographers in all
countries. Participants must be committed to the field of reportage and
documentary photography.”
Getty Images Emerging Talent
Award
“Getty Images proudly supports
photographers, filmmakers and communications professionals who use their
talents to promote positive change in our world. The Getty Images Creative Grants
help these creative visionaries as they work together to create new, compelling
imagery or video for a nonprofit organization of their choice.”
“To complement our Grants for Editorial
Photography program, we offer an opportunity for young photographers to receive
mentoring and support through our Emerging Talent Award. Applicants must be
under the age of 25 or currently enrolled in a full time photojournalism
program (please include a signed letter from a faculty member, confirming
this). Winners are added to the Emerging Talent roster on Reportage by Getty
Images.”
Burn Magazine
“Burn
is an evolving journal for emerging photographers. Burn was launched as an
online magazine/journal on December 21, 2008, and is curated by Magnum
photographer David Alan Harvey. We publish new stories or singles at least two
times per week.”Burn Magazine functions not only as a place of publication, but also as a site for mentoring and discussion amongst up and coming photojournalists and documentary photographers.
Woodstock A-I-R Photography
Residency
“WOODSTOCK
A-I-R is a workspace
residency program designed to support artists of color working in the
photographic arts who reside in the United States with access to time,
facilities, financial, critical, and technical support. This activity is
created with an emphasis on supporting artists working in the photographic arts
who are at the brink of their careers and promising talent. All of us lead very busy lives – the drive
for this program is to free the artist - from the busy routines and demands of
everyday – and to provide a sanctuary for creativity.”“WOODSTOCK A-I-R encourages participants to pursue creative risk-taking in an environment rich in cultural resources. Working without distraction or interruption, participants focus intensely on their own work, continuing works in progress, setting goals for the future, and breaking new ground.”
Instituto Sacatar Visual Arts
Residency
“The INSTITUTO SACATAR operates a
residency program for creative individuals in all disciplines at its estate on
the Island of Itaparica in the Bay of All Saints, across from the city of
Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.”
“The purpose of the Instituto Sacatar is:
• To
provide artists a place to live and create
• To generate opportunities for artists to interact and collaborate with the local and regional community
• To enhance the visibility and cultural impact of the host city and nation
• To encourage art that returns us to where art began — to a wordless silence before all of creation”
• To generate opportunities for artists to interact and collaborate with the local and regional community
• To enhance the visibility and cultural impact of the host city and nation
• To encourage art that returns us to where art began — to a wordless silence before all of creation”
“We
are in a somewhat primitive location and encourage artists to work primitively
- that is, simply and directly with few complex tools, materials or
technologies.”
PhotoGlobal Residency
PhotoGlobal
is a one year program for international photographers to share in the vast
creative opportunities that the School of Visual Arts and New York City has to
offer. The post-baccalaureate certificate program fosters work of the advanced
photographer through critique, lectures, museum and gallery visits and a
dialogue with faculty and other participants.
- Participate in an individual critique class and a contemporary photography seminar, along with three electives of your choice.
- Features a lecturing faculty that, individually, has shaped the discourse of contemporary American photography
- Multi-cultural and international learning experience that will enhance the knowledge and understanding of both the resident undergraduate students and those who will gather from various parts of the world
Lastly, here's a really interesting site you may already be familiar with that hosts work from all sorts of up-and-coming visual artists:
“Booooooom
was launched in 2008 by Vancouver-based artist Jeff Hamada, with the hope that
it would foster a community of people excited to go out and be creative. It has
quickly become one of the largest blogs on the internet, with 3 million
pageviews each month, and readers from all over the world. Incredibly, this is
mainly the result of good old fashion word-of-mouth! So if you’ve told even one
person about this place hold your hand up to the monitor and accept this
high-five! Did you feel that? That was no regular high-five, that was the
highest-five in the history of highs and fives.”
