Watershed Summer Residency Scholarship

Scholarships at Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts can partially or fully cover the cost of a 2-week residency at the Center in midcoast Maine. Awards range from $500 to the full cost of a Watershed session ($1,525). Awards that cover the full cost of a residency are called Kiln God awards. All artists are eligible to apply, regardless of age, experience, or media/discipline.

Awards are for summer residency sessions only and are decided primarily on merit and secondarily on need. A review committee of ceramics professionals makes annual determinations. Funds cover residency fee-related items including housing in a double room, meals, and studio access. There are no cash awards. Residents participating in an Artists-Invite-Artists group are eligible for scholarships of up to $500. Award recipients are responsible for housing upgrades, travel expenses, materials, firings, and packing/shipping of work.

Full-scholarship/Kiln God recipients are not eligible for funding again for three summers following an award and may only be fully funded twice in total. Entry fee: $25.00. Submit 10 images.
