Description

In 2021, Green-Wood’s Artist-in-Residence Program was created for emerging and mid-career artists to directly engage with the site’s unique art, history, and nature. Since its founding in 1838, the Cemetery has inspired generations of painters, writers, and musicians. This residency offers an opportunity to contribute to that legacy by creating new works informed by the Cemetery’s compelling landscape and rich history. The selected artist in residence will be awarded with: A $5,000 honorarium. A year-long private studio space in the landmarked Fort Hamilton Gatehouse. The ability to consult with Green-Wood’s expert staff, as well as access to the Cemetery’s expansive archives and historical collections. Opportunities to present their work to the wider public through public programming. The residency will run from January to December 2026.
