Emmanuel College Artist-in-Residence Program

The Emmanuel College Artist-in-Residence Program (ECAR) offers a six-week residency in Boston for emerging and established artists working in Ceramics, Photography, Printmaking, and Social Practice. Four artists are selected each year, with one resident representing each discipline.

The 2027 residency will take place from June 16 to July 28, 2027. Selected artists receive a $1,500 stipend, accommodation in Emmanuel College dormitories, individual studio space, and access to facilities including ceramics and photography studios, a darkroom, print shop, wood shop, design lab, and drawing and painting studios.

International artists may receive up to an additional $1,000 to help cover travel and visa expenses. Participants are responsible for their own food, materials, shipping and transportation expenses during the residency.

The residency concludes with a public group exhibition at Emmanuel College. Each artist is also expected to donate one artwork to the College at the end of the program.

Applicants must not be currently enrolled in an academic program and must be available on site for the entire residency. International applicants need sufficient conversational English and are responsible for obtaining the necessary visa.

To apply, candidates must submit a single PDF containing a CV or résumé, artist statement, 20 portfolio images with descriptions, and a project proposal.

Deadline: December 18, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST.
