ARTIST'S FELLOWSHIPS
Fellowship opportunities are available in water-based screen printing,
intaglio, photography,
papermaking, letterpress and ceramic. Fellowship awards are designed to
provide artists with
concentrated work time to explore new ideas in a dynamic and cooperative
community of
women artists, in a rural environment. Fellows have unlimited 24-hour
access to the studio of
their choice, and may work in two- to six-week sessions from September
through June.
Fellowship awards subsidize a portion of the studio operating expenses. The
cost to fellowship
recipients is $200 per week plus materials, (about one-fifth the actual cost
of the fellowship), and
includes on-site housing. Fellowships are awarded through a jury process.
SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY FOR CLAY ARTISTS
A limited number of special scholarships are available to potters who can
trade bowls for time.
Each year, WSW hosts a Chili Bowl Fiesta fund raiser, and to help with bowl
production we are
offering fellowships at half price. Fifty glazed bowls or 100 bisqued bowls
plus $200 covers a
two-week residency. Please indicate on your application that you are
interested in this
opportunity.
TO APPLY: Send a resume, six to ten slides of your work, purpose of
residency, proposed dates
and length of fellowship, studio requested and an SASE for return of
materials. An application

the design and production of their piece. The grant includes a stipend of
$1,800 for six weeks,
materials up to $450 and access to all studios. On-site housing is provided
for visiting artists.
Each artist is responsible for meals, but on weekdays, everyone gathers for
a pot-luck lunch.
ARTISTS' BOOKS PRODUCTION GRANTS
Production Grants are for artists working off-site. The grant is designed
to assist artists working
in their own studios with the publication of smaller scale projects. Funds

material. If used as
partial funding for a larger project, proof of the additional funds will be
required.
