Deadline: 31 May 2024
The Oak Spring Garden Foundation is pleased to announce the Perennial residency program to bring alumni back to their site to return to previous projects or develop new works.
This program, formerly known as the “Alumni Residency” is intended to renew and grow the relationships with past residents.
Similar to their initial stay on site, Perennial Residents will be housed in a private bedroom and bathroom and share a living space and kitchen with one to three other residents. Perennial Residents are able to use their time as they see fit, and will be included in meals with Interdisciplinary Residents or Fellows that might take place. Visual artists will have access to a studio space, and writers, researchers or ecologists will have a designated writing space.
Award Information
- Perennial Residents will have the option to lead a workshop, open studio, or presentation after which they will receive an $800 honorarium.
- Residents should make their own travel arrangements to their site, Union Station or Dulles International Airport where OSGF will provide ground transportation from.
Eligibility Criteria
- In 2024 more than 140 alumni will be eligible for the Perennial Residency (this includes Curated Artist-in-Residences, Interdisciplinary Residents, Botanical Artists, Researcher in Residence, 6-week Artist in Residences, and all Fellows).
- Awards will be made based on the availability of their accommodations, and alumni’s ability to convey a timely need to return to OSGF in their application.
- Awardees must reside on-site for the entire duration of the period agreed upon with the program administrator. They do not allow pets or overnight visitors during the residency.
- At this point in time, OSGF does not have a limit on the number of times a resident may return for a Perennial Residency.
