Artist Residencies
Devote yourself to your work on Peters Valley’s beautiful campus located in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area! This location provides tranquility and inspiration in a supportive artistic community. Come spend uninterrupted time in one of our fully-equipped studios.
Guest Artist Residency Program
Two to four-week residencies are available on a case by case basis during the months of October, November, and April. Most studios are not open during the winter so residencies during that season are very limited and may only be available for ceramics, writing, and drawing/painting.
A private room in a fully furnished shared house and studio space are available for $500 per week. If lodging is not needed, the cost is $300 per week. All materials and supplies are the responsibility of the resident artist. Due to the rural nature of our campus, a personal vehicle is required.
The guest artist residency program is open to all artists, from emerging to professional however you must have experience with all of the tools and equipment and be able to work independently. Studio Department heads and/or managers will oversee the studios and be available for a studio orientation. Private instruction for particular equipment and techniques may be available for an hourly rate on a case by case basis. This should be discussed with the studio head/manager prior to arrival.
Applications are accepted on an on-going basis with no deadline to apply.

Funded Fall Guest Artist Residencies
Through the generosity of the Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation, Peters Valley School of Craft has had the opportunity to offer fully funded guest artist residencies in 2021 and 2022. These artists were able to spend two weeks to one month on the PV campus immersing themselves in their craft.
If more funding becomes available, the opportunity will be announced during the summer months and applications will be accepted through this site.
