Peter Bullough Foundation Fall 2023 Artist Residency

The Peter Bullough Foundation in historic downtown Winchester, Virginia provides residencies to emerging artists and writers, including those elevating voices and topics relevant to the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Applications are being accepted for fall 2023 residencies to work in private studios and enjoy the garden and former homes of Dr. Peter Bullough. The ideal applicant will be self-directed, motivated, able to work independently, and interested in engaging with the local community.

Each awarded residency period is roughly four weeks long and is shared with one or two other artists in residence. Artistic collaborators in groups of two to three may apply in one application. While in residence, artists are required to host a community workshop, lecture, or event virtually or in-person. Disciplines accepted include architecture, literature, film/video arts, interdisciplinary arts, music/music composition, playwriting, screenwriting, poetry, scholars, theatre, and the visual arts. Fall 2023 residency dates are: August 24 - September 19, September 21 - October 17, October 19 - November 14, and November 16 - December 12.

Free accommodations are offered in Dr. Bullough's former home, a renovated 1840's house with private bedrooms and shared common spaces and bathrooms. Private studios and workspaces are located in an adjacent building that also houses the majority of the late Dr. Bullough's book and art collections. A $550 stipend is provided to aid in covering supplies, necessities, and food for the month. Selection is a multi-step process involving PBF staff, residency alumni, and board members. Selections will be announced 30-45 days after the application deadline. The PBF is not ADA accessible at this time. Application requirements include an application form, resume/CV or statement of qualifications, two personal references, and a portfolio. Entry fee is $5.00.
