within a community whose singular purpose is to inspire, support and honor excellence and creativity.
Application Requirements
Acceptance into a two-week residency session at Golden Apple Art Residency is determined through a jury process and requires a written letter of intent (what work do you propose to do while an artist-in-residence), a current resume/curriculum vitae, 6-8 digital images of recent work or professional website address, and a completed application form which can be downloaded below. The deadline for submission of an application is April 15 prior to the summer you wish to attend. Notification of your acceptance into a residency session will be made within 30 days of receipt of your application.
Following notification of your acceptance into a residency session, you will receive a commitment form which must be signed and returned within 14 days along with a deposit check for $300. This deposit holds your reservation as artist-in-residence and will be deducted from the cost of your residency. It also serves as a commitment on your behalf to attend the residency. Therefore, the deposit is not refundable.
The total cost to attend a two-week residency program (which includes all private lodging, studio accommodations and all meals) is $2700. Small stipends in the amounts of $100 - $300 to help with travel expenses are awarded by Golden Apple Art Residency and all applicants are automatically considered for stipends by Golden Apple. Grants from other sources as well as professional development funding may also be used to cover costs. Payment in full must be received 60 days prior to your scheduled residency. Travel costs (minus any stipend awarded) and the cost of art supplies are the responsibility of the artist.
