 Momm and Popp  Residency For Parent Artists 

Thanks to the generous support of the Sustainable Arts Foundation we are able to offer a 1 month  (August 2019) residency to a parent artist with stipend, travel, and childcare support. Unfortunately, the deadline for this fellowship has passed. The accepted family or parent Momm and Popp resident will be notified by the end of January. 

We are always accepting applications for the Momm and Popp Residency for all months except for August. Accepted residents are not a part of the fellowship program.

For Collaborative Residents:

If you intend to do only collaborative projects, apply using one application with all names and samples of your past collaborative projects. If you intend to mix personal projects with collaborative projects, apply individually.
