Program Fees and Scholarships

  • Application fee: $15

  • Residency Fee: Investing in your artistic journey with us isn't just a fee, it's a profound commitment to your craft, personal growth, and professional development. By choosing to join our small, close-knit family-run program, you're not only furthering your own artistic practice but also contributing to the sustainability and future of our unique initiatives.

    We understand the financial considerations artists face, and that's why we diligently work to minimize costs while maximizing the value we offer. But don't just take our word for it—take a moment to explore the inspiring testimonials from fellow artists.

    Moreover, we are dedicated to supporting your aspirations beyond our program. If you're seeking grants or funding opportunities, we're more than willing to provide letters of acceptance and any necessary documentation to help you secure the financial support you deserve.

    Scholarships

    Please note that we receive many scholarship requests. We recommend also looking for grants or other funding opportunities as well. Scholarships are only available for 1-week residencies. If you apply for a scholarship and are not awarded one, your application will automatically be considered for a paid residency spot.

  • General TVP Scholarship
    We offer two one-week scholarships designed for artists for whom this residency experience would otherwise be out of reach financially.

  • TVP Advisory Board Scholarship

    The Zymoglyphic Museum is sponsoring two partial (covering 50% of the residency fee) one-week merit-based scholarships.
