Artist Residency for TeachersGrantIn-Person

The Academy for Teachers understands how hard it is for teachers who are also working artists to find the space and time to be creative. We are thrilled, therefore, that Foundation House has partnered with us and will host eight teachers for an artist residency of ten days this summer. Residents will be provided housing, three meals a day, and the ability to pursue their art in a supportive, safe, and undisturbed environment.

Foundation House is a nonprofit center for learning with a focus on health, wellness, the environment, and social justice. It looks forward to opening the space for teacher-artists to help further important discussions around these topics. The program’s only requirement is that all residents eat dinner together every evening.

Proposals from teachers with established artistic practices in any of the visual, written, and performing arts will be considered. Applicants must be teaching full time, with no imminent plans for retirement. Priority will be given to teachers who are Fellows of the Academy for Teachers.

​Each resident will receive a $500 honorarium after the session and can be reimbursed up to $100 for supplies necessary for the residency. Residents will have their own bedroom, a private or semi-private bathroom, studio space, three meals a day, and access to the property’s common areas and its seventy-five acres of land to explore.

Travel expenses will not be covered.
