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.
OOPS (Origin Of Primary Source) is the first edition of Padimai Art and Tech Studio's Onchain Artist Residency, a three-month remote residency inviting art practitioners to critically and creatively engage with NFTs as artistic registers and as systems of knowledge, documentation, and access. Five practitioners are selected. SUPPORT: SGD 15,000 honorarium per artist, plus SGD 5,000 per artist for documentation. The residency is remote, with community engagement designed through online meetings; at the end, participants deliver three NFTs developed during the residency to Padimai. ELIGIBILITY: individual creative practitioners working at the intersection of art, technology, and blockchain; open internationally. RESIDENCY: 20 September to 20 December 2026. DEADLINE: 15 August 2026. Apply via the residency page.
The Good Life Residents Program is a six-month Roosevelt Institute initiative that develops new leaders and elevates bold ideas across six economic policy priorities under its Good Life Agenda. Each topic area hosts a cohort of 3 to 4 residents plus 1 to 2 senior Topic Advisors (academics, policy leaders, organizers or government practitioners) who provide strategic and intellectual mentorship and moderate the closing event. Residents write a roughly 1,500-word original policy essay advancing a people-centered policy vision against a topic-specific prompt, take part in structured dialogue with peers, Topic Advisors and Roosevelt Think Tank directors, help prepare and appear at a culminating public event, contribute to press opportunities such as op-eds and reporter calls where applicable, and act as ambassadors for the Good Life Agenda in their professional and public networks. The current round, the AI and Finance Residents Program, is run in partnership with Data & Society and asks for bold ideas on how to shape, redirect, interrupt or make more visible and contestable the flows of capital into generative AI. Framing: breakneck investment in generative AI technology and infrastructure is distorting the stock market, profit measures, bond issuance, the pace and composition of growth, job creation and trade policy, with seven tech companies accounting for more than a third of S&P 500 market capitalisation and complex, sometimes circular financial arrangements obscuring risk. Suggested lines of inquiry include what government interventions could improve public oversight, risk allocation and direction-setting in private markets; how other investments could be coordinated and scaled if AI spending is crowding them out; what role public spending or new institutions could play in catalysing technology R&D designed to support workers, sustainability and supply chains; what democratic input mechanisms would keep state influence over capital flows less vulnerable to corruption; and how federal AI policy should address public hostility to data centre investments alongside national security and competitiveness. Compensation is USD 3,000 plus travel and accommodation for the culminating event. FLAG: Roosevelt does not publish an application deadline for the AI and Finance round on the programme page, and earlier rounds (Social Security financing, Federal Reserve powers, housing) each ran their own short application window. Check the Formstack application form linked from the programme page for the current closing date before applying.
