Rathbone Studio Artist-in-Residence

a four-month residency designed to support an emerging creative who is eager to root their practice in Providence and connect with a thriving collective studio environment.

We invite applications from artists and creatives working in 2D media, photography, video, writing, textiles, and other light, small-footprint practices. Due to space limitations,

The selected artist will receive:

  • A dedicated studio space at Rathbone Studios

  • A $200/month studio stipend

  • Support to produce a community workshop

  • Participation in a culminating group exhibition

  • An opportunity to be part of a collaborative, growing community of creatives

We welcome creatives who are excited about sharing space, exchanging ideas, and contributing to the local cultural fabric of Providence. Whether you’re a visual artist, writer, photographer, printmaker, or interdisciplinary thinker—if you’re passionate about your craft and community, we’d love to hear from you.

Residency Duration: September 1 – December 31, 2025
