The Surface Design Association's Artist in Residence programme is built to develop skills, open up relationships and support fiber and textile artists through a studio project that pushes their practice. The residency is entirely virtual and runs across a full year, which is the point: it removes the travel, housing and time-away barriers that keep many practitioners out of in-person residencies. One artist is selected annually by a panel of SDA staff, board members and committee volunteers. WHAT IT INVOLVES: studio visits across the year, social media programming, and meetings with the SDA community, plus further programming shaped around the resident's own skills and interests, which can include teaching online workshops, contributing to SDA publications, jurying exhibitions or joining panels. FUNDING: a $2,000 studio stipend for the project, plus up to $2,000 in additional compensation for programming work, targeting about $4,000 total. ELIGIBILITY: emerging, mid-career and established artists; US-based and international applicants welcome; students and professionals may apply; applicants must hold current SDA membership (from $85 per year, $60 for students). APPLICATION: a portfolio of 10 images with full artwork information (title, year, materials, technique, dimensions, photo credit), a detailed CV, essay responses on artistic goals, programming interests and professional development, and demographic information. No application fee. The 2026-27 cycle closes 14 August 2026.
