Nantucket is an island where climate change is not abstract: erosion and sea-level rise are visibly rewriting the shoreline, and the Environmental Artist Residency exists for artists who work with that. The residency gives a stipend of $3,000, $500 towards travel, three weeks of housing in the association's Hale apartment for artists in residence, a private studio, and an exhibition in AAN's Champion Gallery at the end (figures from the previous cycle). The Artists Association of Nantucket has been running since 1945 and keeps galleries and an education programme alongside the residencies.

For artists whose practice engages ecological questions — changing climate, erosion, sea-level rise, shifting habitats — and who want to respond to Nantucket's landscape specifically. The residency runs about a month; the association also runs separate funded residencies (the Hale MFA Fellowship and the Donohue Ceramics Residency) and non-funded stays at $500 a week or $2,000 a month.
