The Good Hart Artist Residency strives to make attending a residency possible for those underserved by traditional residencies. In the case of parent-artists, we acknowledge that finding the time to attend a residency, while actively parenting, can be a challenge. We value creative people raising creative children, and we want to support them by providing childcare stipends.
For the 2027- early 2028 residencies, we are offering up to three childcare stipends of $1,000 each to help with the cost of dependent childcare at a resident’s home base while they attend a residency in Good Hart. All parent-artist applicants may apply for these funds, including artists, writers, and composers.
Flexibility in Scheduling – We also provide flexibility in residency stay length and scheduling. A selected applicant has the opportunity to schedule a 10 – 21 day residency stay within a given window of time. Not all windows of time allow for a 21-day stay. This allows for a shorter or a longer residency stay depending on a parent’s needs. Given our rural location, please plan for a day of travel time to/from Good Hart when deciding on a length of stay.
Community Engagement – If a parent-resident decides to choose a shorter stay, then their community engagement would be limited to one event that would be no longer than a half-day time commitment.
Applying for a childcare stipend will not impact the jury process regarding your application. No on-site family residencies are offered in this current cycle.
We appreciate the support of the Women Moving Millions organization and private donors who made these stipends for parent-artists possible.
