Art Residency Application Deadlines

If you’re an artist aiming to participate in an art residency, staying organized and aware of art residency deadlines is crucial. Whether you’re searching for opportunities locally or internationally, meeting the residency application deadlines can significantly boost your chances of securing a spot in a program that aligns with your creative vision. This guide compiles some of the most notable residencies in the world, organized by month, so you can plan your applications efficiently.

​

Each deadline listed is approximately one month before the actual cutoff date. This gives you enough time to prepare your portfolio, statement, and other materials. However, it’s always important to verify the exact dates on the official websites of the residencies you’re interested in, as deadlines may change from year to year. By staying ahead of these deadlines, you’ll have a better chance of submitting strong applications and maximizing your opportunities.
