Women's Studio Workshop — Artist's Book Residency Grant
Overview
Women's Studio Workshop (WSW) has long been a vital institution for artists working at the intersection of text and image, providing space, equipment, and expertise for the production of artist's books. This residency grant supports the creation of a new work in the book form, offering recipients access to WSW's studios in Rosendale, New York, and the technical assistance of its staff. The grant covers materials, travel, and a stipend, ensuring that artists can focus on their practice without financial burden. The residency is designed for artists who are eager to explore the book as a medium, whether they are emerging or established in their careers. WSW's commitment to supporting voices that have been historically marginalized is central to this opportunity, and the selection committee seeks projects that demonstrate a thoughtful engagement with the book's potential for narrative, sequence, and materiality. Artists from diverse backgrounds and disciplines are encouraged to apply, particularly those whose work challenges conventional boundaries of writing, visual art, and design. The residency culminates in the production of a limited-edition artist's book, which becomes part of WSW's distinguished publication program, furthering the artist's reach and legacy.
