Bethany, Connecticut
The Albers Foundation maintains two residential studios for visiting artists on seventy acres of wooded property.
Our residencies are designed to provide time and space for artists with a range of styles and approaches but a shared belief in artistic integrity.
The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation offers three residency programs in three different parts of the world. With these programs, we want to give artists the opportunity to live and work outside of their usual environments, providing them with space and time to reflect, research, or produce work. A residency period usually lasts between one and two months, but this is flexible, as long as it is determined in advance. All residencies are free of charge, but generally come without a stipend.
We are currently accepting applications. You can apply until January 19, 2026, for a residency taking place during the second half of 2026 or in 2027.
Our residency programs are aimed at individual visual artists, though we also sometimes accept writers, musicians, dance artists, as well as artist duos or small collectives.
To apply, please go to the forms below and read the information carefully:

Application results: If you are selected for a residency, you will hear from us by the end of March 2026. Due to the many applications, we will unfortunately only be able to respond to selected candidates.
We believe in equal opportunity! In this time of interrelated crises, our mission is to enable artists to attend a residency regardless of their financial circumstances or geographical location. The Regina Tierney Fund is a mobility fund with the purpose of supporting artists to cover travel expenses related to their residency. You can support artists by donating to The Regina Tierney Fund here or write to Matthias Persson, Artist Residencies Director. Your donation is greatly appreciated.

The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation is delighted to maintain its three residency programs, but will not promote individual artists via our social media or any other means.
