Montello Foundation 2027 Residencies
the opportunity
The Montello Foundation offers two-week solitary residencies at a desert retreat in Nevada for the summer 2027 season. It charges no lodging fee, but residents pay for their own travel and meals. The Foundation favors work that deepens understanding of nature, its fragility and the need to protect it. Visual artists submit an application form, an artist statement of up to 500 words, a one-page bio or CV, up to eight images at 2000 pixels with a checklist; writers and composers send samples instead. Materials are emailed to the Foundation. The selection panel is made up mainly of visual artists and curators.
