project space residency 2027

Visual Studies Workshop (VSW) seeks residency proposals from artists for its 2027 Project Space Residency Program. VSW supports artists in any stage of their career who are working in photography, film, or media art by offering 4-week Project Space residencies at VSW in Rochester, NY.

VSW provides accessible housing for national/international artists. All of our Residents receive the support of VSW’s digital printing technician, program assistants, consultations with curators on staff and research support in VSW’s collections. The Project Space Residency program also provides opportunities for artists to engage with the public through lectures and Open Studios. 

VSW welcomes applications from artists working in photography, film or media art. Artists based in the U.S. and internationally are eligible to apply. Each year, a jury panel consisting of VSW staff, past resident artists and guest curators review applications to select up to 12 artists for 4-week terms and one 2-week term in August.

This round of residencies will be scheduled from January 2027 through December 2027.
