artist residency
Montello Foundation is a foundation dedicated to support artists who foster our understanding of nature, its fragility and our need to protect it.
The application deadline for the summer 2026 residency season is January 18th, 2026
To be notified of upcoming opportunities, please sign up for our newsletter on the contact page.
The artist retreat at the Montello Foundation is meant to be a retreat from the urban environment. It will provide a new perspective for residents’ work and give residents space and time for undisturbed experimentation and reflection for two weeks.
There is no fee for artists to stay at the retreat, but artists are responsible for their travel expenses and for their meals.
The residencies are always for two weeks and the residency season is always from the beginning of May until the beginning of November.
The notifications regarding the summer 2025 applications will go out by the beginning of March 2026.
• Selection of work: The panel will look at your work with these guidelines:
First, the quality of the work.
Then, the relevance to the idea of the Montello Foundation: is it work that increases our understanding of nature, its fragility and our need to protect it?
And also at the artist's commitment to get the word out. Is the artist working on shows in non-profit spaces? Does the artist organize him- or herself events/happenings/exhibitions?
• Application Form: please fill out the application form and save it with your last and first name and _app as a pdf, for example: Smith_Jane_app.pdf The 2023 season is from May 2th until November 7th.
