# Elsewhere Studios Artist Residency — Now Booking November 2026 Through April 2027

**Hosted by:** Elsewhere Studios

**Type:** Residency | **Location:** Elsewhere Studios, Paonia, CO, United States | **Deadline:** September 15, 2026

## About This Program

Artists come for one to three months. Three to four residents live here at a time and become a household — private rooms, a shared kitchen and commons, and a 360 sq ft main studio with high ceilings, easels, a lofted library, slop sink, and screen printing equipment. Ceramics access at Paonia Clayworks down the road — wheels, slab roller, and kilns including raku.

Open to visual artists, writers, composers, musicians, performers, scientists, activists, teachers, and students at any stage of career. Residents share their work through Final Friday open studios and a presentation in the main studio.

## Eligibility & Requirements

- **Geographic Eligibility:** International
- **Disciplines:** visual art, writing, composition, music, performance

## Compensation & Benefits

Artist stipend: 0 USD. Travel stipend/material stipends: 0 USD. Residency fees: from $950 USD. "Our residency fees work on a sliding scale. All fees are monthly and include your private room, access to the shared main floor studio and common areas, kitchen, laundry, high-speed internet, use of community bicycles, and full participation in Elsewhere's programs and community life.

The Sweet Suite — $1,100–$1,600 per month; The Loft Room — $950–$1,300 per month; The Gingerbread House — $950–$1,300 per month." Hosting one artist costs us roughly $2,500; grants, donors, and this community bridge the rest for everyone who comes.
