solo show & residency fellowship 2026

For the second year, Field Projects (NYC) is teaming up with In Situ Polyculture Commons, an arts residency and eco-cultural catalyst (Southeastern Vermont) to offer our 2026 Solo Show & Residency Fellowship!

This opportunity includes a 2-3 week art residency in Vermont in summer 2026, plus a solo exhibition in NYC in fall 2026 for an individual artist OR a collaborative group of up to 4 people, and a stipend of $1500 to be used as the artist(s) sees fit.

FP & ISPC are two artist-run organizations who have created a fellowship opportunity that we would want, and that helps each of us further our missions to platform artists doing and making important creative work for our times.Notes about the curatorial perspective;

Notes about the curatorial perspective;

• At Field Projects (FP), we want to platform work that makes strong political statements, immersive installation & experimental work 

• In Situ Polyculture Commons (ISPC) embraces place-based and context-aware [read collapse-aware] modalities— ecology-interested work. What will artists and art do as society melts down and things like ecosystem collapse, mutual aid, and ancestral skills become inherent partners to creative work? How is this artistic practice bridging the studio to the world context?
