Artist Residencies: particularly Hawaii Volcano National Park

Artist Residencies are a great way to have the time and space to focus on creating a body of work. There are a whole range of residencies from urban spaces to remote wilderness cabins, some cost money and some cover housing and food while others provide housing and stipends. It takes some research to find ones that might be a good fit for you, but may be worth it.

Due Nov 21 is the application for a 1 month residency at Hawaii Volcano National Park for September 2022; this provides a 3 bedroom house and a $2000 stipend. This is a good time to apply for this residency because normally this a highly competitive residency, but they had a very low application for this particular time so they opened it back up https://www.nationalparksartsfoundation.org/hawaii

Many other National Parks also have residencies: most provide housing, a few of them provide stipends. https://www.nps.gov/subjects/arts/air.htm
