Emerging Artist in Residence & Internship

We are currently seeking 2026 Emerging Artists!

Sloss Furnaces Foundation hosts a 3-week Emerging Artist residency designed for artists interested in developing their studio practice and gaining technical, hands-on foundry skills. Emerging will be provided with a living stipend, materials budget, sand and iron, and studio access.

This opportunity is available to US-based applicants and international applicants who are able to obtain their own visa for the duration of the residency. Unfortunately, Sloss is unable to assist with visa sponsorship at this time.

To apply, please submit an application via the form below!

The application asks for your contact information, general availability, and two references, in addition to a letter of intent, resume or CV, artist statement, and digital portfolio (10 images max) attached as a single PDF.

Applications are due Friday, February 6, 2026 at midnight.
