As an artists’ workspace, the Women’s Studio Workshop has crafted Artist-In-Residence programs that actively challenge and support the professional growth of individual artists. A WSW Residency differs from other residencies in that artistic staff is available to coach, train, and advise artists on all aspects of their projects. This active engagement allows artists to work across mediums, integrating new processes and materials into their work, or to gain new levels of mastery in specific disciplines.

WSW offers a variety of Artist-in-Residence opportunities. WSW Resident artists will receive 24-hour studio access, technical and production assistance, on-campus housing, travel per diem, a materials stipend, and a weekly personal stipend during their stay. All Artists-In-Residence are selected through a rigorous juring process.
