Peter Bullough Foundation Spring 2024 Artist Residency

The Peter Bullough Foundation in historic downtown Winchester, Virginia provides intimate, focused residencies to emerging artists and writers, including those elevating voices and topics relevant to the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Applications are being accepted for spring 2024 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 and fellow residents.

Each awarded residency period is four weeks long and shared with 1-2 other artists in residence. Artistic collaborators in groups of 2-3 may apply in one application. While in residence, artists are required to host a workshop, lecture, or event virtually or in-person. Disciplines accepted include visual arts, literature, film/video arts, interdisciplinary arts, music/music composition, playwriting, screenwriting, poetry, scholars, theatre, and architecture. Spring 2024 residency dates are: February 1-27, February 29-March 26, March 28-April 23, and April 25-May 21.

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 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. Applicants must be able to attend one of the four time periods listed for spring 2024 residencies. Entry fee is $5.00.
