Applications for Spring 2026 will open October 2025. Up to three applicants accepted on a rolling basis.

The Artist in Residence program will allow selected artists to develop a project or body of work for exhibition at Still Life Studios. Our studio offers space, time, and professional resources for artists to delve more deeply into their practice and share their work and skills with others.

We are looking for artist partners to be core members of the Studio while immersing themselves in work that is important to them. We look for work that resonates with the values and mission of Still Life, and prioritize artist work and media of choice that promote reuse, sustainability, nature preservation, and community access.

Please reach out to us if you have questions about the program or your eligibility.
