The **Jim Henson Foundation** Puppetry Residency expands and broadens the work of the National Puppetry Conference by partnering with the O’Neill to provide space and support to an artist/company working on the **final stages** of a new work of puppet theater.

* Residencies may be between 2-3 weeks, can support up to 10-12 project participants, and covers full room and board.
* A unique feature of the residency, dramaturgical support for the project will be provided by the O'Neill's literary office.
* The residency can take place during specific windows of time in the spring or fall months.
* The residency is intended to be the last phase of work on a production before its premiere within 1 year of the residency.
* The residency does not include access to technical equipment or support.

* In addition to the residency, a grant of $5,000 will be awarded to the artists by the Jim Henson Foundation to help cover expenses.
