Applications for 2027 and Winter 2028 are now open. The Open Call will run from March 15 to May 1, 2026. We are accepting proposals from ceramic artists, fiber artists, painters and writers.

Emerging and established artists may apply. Applicants who are enrolled in graduate degree programs during the residency are ineligible. We accept applications from international artists. Unfortunately we can not assist with visa/funding/travel arrangements. We are accepting proposals in other media such as painting, fibers, and site specific installation. These will be supported in our mixed media studio.

Accommodations and 24/7 studio access are free of charge, covered by Township10. Artists are responsible for the cost of their meals, materials/firings, and a cleaning fee of $100 per person upon departure.

Residencies are 5-6 weeks in length. We require a commitment to the residency dates and can not modify arrival or departure. Because our spots are limited and in high demand, we can not accommodate residents who have part-time jobs, travel plans, or expect to come and go. A weekend away is acceptable. Sinking into the experience and committing to a focused studio practice is the goal.

Township10 applications are reviewed by a panel of jurors composed of advisors, past residents and curators who serve anonymously. The Residency Director works with the finalist list to fill residency sessions based on availability/scheduling.

The main criteria for evaluation is depth of studio practice. We seek applicants who will maximize the opportunity presented by Township10 to create a strong body of work, build community, and enjoy the setting . We also consider qualities, either manifest or incipient, for leadership, mentorship, and disruption. For more on the community we are building and hope to expand, please refer to our values statement a(undefined)nd past resident artists.(https://www.township10.org/team-1)

Yes. We accept applications from artists who have put together a group of friends/fellow artists to come make work side-by-side, as well as full collaborative proposals. Everyone in the group must submit an individual application. We can support small groups of two to four people, two to three being ideal.

Couples working on collaborative projects may apply as collaborators (see the question above). Artist couples working on their own creative projects may apply individually and request parallel residencies. If both are accepted, they will be offered a spot together. No other provisions are made for partners at Township10.

Unfortunately, we can not accommodate these requests at our residency at this time. We do not allow pets. We are not able to have overnight stays by partners or friends. This is for the safety and the comfort of all residents who share accommodations and studio space.

Yes. Residents are required to have a vehicle. Township10 is 20 minutes from the nearest grocery store, an hour from medical care. It is necessary to have access to a personal vehicle to purchase food, materials and for research purposes—the surrounding region can be incredibly inspirational. We are not able to make any exceptions to this requirement and can not provide rides to/from airport.

Residencies may not be deferred. If an applicant is accepted but cannot accept the dates offered, they will be placed on the waiting list, and may reapply after 12 months if they are not called from the waiting list.

Kiln firings are charged at cost to cover the electricity and/or gas. Cost ranges from $20 Small Skutt -$75 Full Blaauw/Oval-$350 salt kiln. Please note that firing the salt kiln must be approved in advance and is only possible for artists experienced with atmospheric firings.
