Artist residencies where studio, accommodation, and stipend are covered by the organizer — no hidden pay-to-stay costs. Active deadlines only, verified daily.

132 active · refreshed daily

A fully funded residency covers studio space, accommodation, and typically provides a living stipend or production budget — meaning the artist does not pay to participate. These are the most competitive and valuable opportunities in the art world, offered by national arts councils, major foundations, and established cultural institutions. CallOpen.art specifically tags funding type for every listing so you can immediately filter out pay-to-stay programs that charge thousands in participation fees. Below are only programs where organizer data confirms costs are covered. Always verify details on the official page before applying.

FAQ

What exactly does 'fully funded' mean on CallOpen.art?

We label a residency as fully funded when the organizer's official documentation states that studio, accommodation, and a stipend or per diem are provided at no cost to the artist. Some programs may not cover international travel — read each listing for specifics.

How do you verify that a residency is genuinely fully funded?

Every listing is checked on the organiser’s own pages — the programme page and the application guidelines — and set against what past participants report: the results of past editions and reviews from artists who took part.

Are fully funded residencies harder to get into?

They are among the most sought-after calls. For programmes that publish their numbers, CallOpen.art shows how many applied and how many were selected in past editions, so you can weigh each one before you apply.
