About
The Kent Cultural Alliance in Chestertown, Maryland invites career artists to a six-week residency from March 14 to April 24, 2027, on the theme of service. Three artists are selected. Each lives and works at the historic Raimond Cultural Center, spends the first week embedded with local community partners, and makes work that amplifies their stories.

The program pays a $7,500 stipend, reimburses travel up to $1,000 and reimburses studio and gallery expenses up to $1,500. Staff, board members, artists and community partners review applications, and the deadline is 5 p.m. Eastern on December 1.
