Maxwell/Hanrahan Guest Artist Residency 2026

Through the incredible generosity of the Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation, Peters Valley is excited to offer fully funded guest artist residencies for the fall of 2026! A limited number of artists will be selected to spend either two weeks or three weeks each in our fully equipped studios immersing themselves in time dedicated to their craft. We are currently seeking artists who work in Blacksmithing, Ceramics, Fibers, Jewelry/Fine Metals, Wood, or Printmaking (2-week residency only). Two week residencies will take place November 2-16, 2026 and three week residencies will run November 2-23, 2026. This program is open to all artists, from emerging to professional however you must have experience with the tools and equipment and be able to work independently. Due to the rural nature of our campus, a personal vehicle is required. A private room in a fully furnished shared house and unlimited access to a fully equipped studio (all utilities included) will be provided at no cost to the artist. This residency opportunity also pays the artist a stipend of $600 for two-week long residencies and $900 for three-week residencies to help off-set the costs of materials and travel. The acquisition of all materials and supplies are the responsibility of the artist. Due to the rural nature of our campus, a personal vehicle is required. There is a $10 application fee for this program.
