University of Pennsylvania ArtsEdge Residency

We are pleased to announce we are accepting applications for the second year of the Penn ArtsEdge Residency project -- a collaboration of the Kelly Writers House, the Fine Arts Department of the School of Design, and Penn's Facilities & Real Estate Services (FRES) -- that supports the work of emerging writers and artists by creating a live/work environment that will inspire interdisciplinary exploration. Through ArtsEdge Residencies, we offer two one-year residencies in a live/work space near Penn's campus. Residencies last for one year and include a dedicated studio for each writer/artist, living space, and close affiliation with the writing and artistic communities at Penn. During the course of their residencies, writers and artists will develop at least one collaborative project with the Writers House or Fine Arts Department. Qualified applicants may also be considered to teach one course at Penn in the spring semester. Check out a project by current ArtsEdge resident Greg Romero.
