We are accepting 20 Artists and one Full Fellowship Artist for each session.

The Full Fellowship Award for 2025 includes accommodations, studio space and two meals each day for the two week duration of the residency at no cost to the artist. The artist is responsible for their own travel to the residency, and daily stipend for any groceries, art supplies or excursions outside of the village. The Mudhouse Residency sponsors two Full Fellowships for the 2025 season. The Full fellowship is determined by a selection committee based on the merit of the applicants work.

The Full Fellowship Award application is open now, the deadline to apply is January 15, 2025. Artists will be notified by January 31st, and a short list of artists will be invited to interview during the first week of February. Final selection will take place February 15, 2025.

The General Application allows the artist to choose from three residency fee tiers. The residency fee includes accommodations, studio space and two meals each day for the two week duration of the residency. The artist is responsible for their own travel to the residency, and daily stipend for any groceries, art supplies or excursions outside of the village. Artists who are able to pay the full residency fee may select to pay $4200 in their application. Artists who require a partial fellowship to attend may select to be considered for a partial fellowship, for a residency fee of $3400. Artists who need financial aid in addition to the partial fellowship may select to be considered for the $2600 residency fee, and will be asked to perform a job during their residency session. Residency jobs include studio maintenance, exhibition crew and tech assistance. 1/3 of the residencies each year are partially funded and 1/3 of the residencies each year are partially funded with an additional stipend.

The General Residency Application deadline is March 31, 2025, artists will be notified by April 15, 2025. General applications are reviewed by the Mudhouse Directors and Board members.

Artists are welcome to apply to both the Full Fellowship Award and the General Application. The Full Fellowship Award is very competitive, in 2024 it received 200 applications. Artists who apply for the Full Fellowship award will not be automatically considered for the General application.

The Mudhouse encourages alumni to return to the Mudhouse. Returning alumni are asked to submit a project proposal, rather than an application. We are able to welcome four returning alumni each year for a reduced residency fee of $2600. Alumni artists are accepted on a first response basis.
