PENLAND CORE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
PENLAND, NC
DEADLINE: 10/8/2025
GRANT: $1,000
The Penland Core Fellowship Program is a one-year work-study fellowship for early career artists looking to expand technical skills and material fluency while working to support the day-to-day operations of a craft school. Artists of all backgrounds who want to advance their educational goals and explore their capacity to contribute to a thriving creative community are encouraged to apply. The goal of the program is to shape the future of contemporary craft by creating opportunity, connection, and immersive education for early career artists who bring a range of perspectives and goals to the school.
Penland core fellows fully engage with Penland by taking two concentrations and five shorter workshops in a year in familiar or new media, and performing integral jobs for the school. Penland’s ever-changing learning environment allows core fellows to study with world-class teaching artists from all over the US and abroad; this is a unique opportunity to create an educational path that responds to individual goals. The program can serve as preparation for careers in creative, non-profit, educational, and entrepreneurial sectors. A measure of the program’s success is the number of core fellows who have gone on to make a life in craft. To date over 200 people have participated in the program, and about 80% are practicing artists or professional contributors to the field of craft today.
The work that core fellows do for the school—jobs such as cooking, cleaning, and supporting the daily operations of the school—places them at the heart of Penland’s daily operations and gives them an opportunity to develop leadership skills and connect with artists from all over by working cooperatively towards a common goal. Core fellows are often a bridge between the staff and the students and serve a unique role in helping others have a meaningful experience at Penland.
Core fellows live in a shared house, work together, and often take the same workshops. In the process, they develop a strong sense of teamwork and community within the group, and often become part of each other’s lifelong creative and professional networks.
ONTARIO HERITAGE TRUST- DORIS MCCARTHY ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE
TORONTO, CANADA
DEADLINE: 10/10/2025
GRANT: 1,500 CAD + TRAVEL REFUND UP TO 100 CAD
The Doris McCarthy Artist-in-Residence Program offers a short-term opportunity for artists to be immersed in, and inspired by, the former home and studio of Canadian artist Doris McCarthy (1910-2010).
McCarthy’s home, Fool’s Paradise — a modest cottage overlooking the magnificent Scarborough Bluffs — nurtured her creative process and artistic expression. She wanted other artists to find their inspiration by spending time in these same unique surroundings.
The Ontario Heritage Trust created the Doris McCarthy Artist-in-Residence Program not only to open the doors to new generations of artists, but also to make space for them to engage and explore concepts of place, identity and history in a unique heritage setting. At Fool’s Paradise, the future of heritage in Ontario is shaped by its creatives.
Program highlights:
the program is targeted at artists from a variety of disciplines who want to work on a project that engages with place, identity or history that would benefit from time spent at Fool’s Paradise
artists in residence live and work in a quaint and cheery cottage on the spectacular Scarborough Bluffs, surrounded by Doris McCarthy’s favourite things
at the end of the residency, artists will be asked to share their experience or work with the Trust — which could include participating in a social media post, sharing a record of the work (for example, a painting or print), or sharing a video (for example, a reading or performance)
residencies are for single individuals who will live and work alone at the Doris McCarthy Artist-in-Residence Centre for the duration of their stay (one to two months)
residencies begin in mid-January and run throughout the year
