2024 Dieu Donné Workspace Residency

With a focus on experimentation and collaboration, the Workspace Residency provides emerging New York State-based visual artists with the opportunity to explore paper pulp as an artistic medium. The program encourages emerging visual artists to explore the creative possibilities inherent in the hand papermaking process, and to develop this medium as a contemporary art form. The Dieu Donné Workspace Residency includes an introduction to the medium and process, five days in the studio with a dedicated collaborator, and a $500 stipend. The residency concludes with a group exhibition. The Workspace Residency is open to emerging visual artists who live and work in New York State. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. Artists from all disciplinary and cultural backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

Applications will not be accepted from students enrolled in undergraduate or graduate degree programs, or other intensive programs, during the program year.

No prior papermaking experience is required.

Artists apply for the Workspace Residency on Slideroom, due 11:59pm on June 30, 2023, which requires answering a few questions, providing a current resume, and uploading up to eight portfolio images. A rotating jury of artists, curators, critics, and art professionals select finalists based on the quality of the work samples, applicants’ diverse disciplinary background, and applicants’ diverse point of view. Six finalists from the juried application round advance to a second round of in person interviews with the Dieu Donné studio team, and four final residencies are awarded.
