WSW Fellowship opportunities are designed to provide concentrated work time for artists to explore new ideas in a dynamic and supportive community of women artists.

These opportunities provide emerging artists the opportunity to explore new process, mediums and concepts outside of an academic setting, and to interact with other professional artists immersed in their work. Artists in more established career stages also benefit from the focused time, expansive studio space and excellent equipment that WSW provides our Fellows.

The facilities feature complete studios in intaglio, silkscreen, hand papermaking, photography, letterpress, and ceramics. WSW Fellowship Award recipients are selected through a jury process. Fellowships are partially-subsidized opportunities, award recipients will receive reduced rate on studio use and housing.

Studio Fellowships: This opportunity is designed for artists working in any of the WSW studios. Artists may apply for four- to six-week sessions between September and June.

Ceramics Fellowships: WSW offers a limited number of special fellowships to potters who make bowls for the annual WSW Chili Bowl Fiesta

Art-In-Education Fellowships: This teaching-based fellowship allows artists who work in intaglio, silkscreen, or hand papermaking to work on their own project for four weeks, then spend four weeks teaching local grade school students.
