About the foundation
The Volland Foundation is a residency program situated in the Flint Hills of Kansas, founded to provide artists, writers, and creative thinkers with uninterrupted time and space. Housed in a restored 19th-century stone barn and surrounding structures, the foundation emphasizes solitude, community, and the generative potential of the rural landscape. Its mission is to support emerging and mid-career artists by offering residencies that prioritize process over product, encouraging residents to engage deeply with their work away from urban distractions.

2 listedApplication guidance
Applicants should demonstrate a clear need for the specific conditions Volland offers: time, solitude, and immersion in a rural environment. Proposals that articulate how the landscape or the residency's ethos will inform the work are favored. The selection committee looks for artistic merit and a serious commitment to one's practice, not necessarily a finished project. Apply through the annual open call, ensuring all materials are submitted by the stated deadline. There is no fee to apply, but residents are responsible for travel to and from Kansas.
