The Demuth Foundation is a nonprofit arts organization in Lancaster, Pennsylvania dedicated to preserving and promoting the visual arts by focusing on the groundbreaking work of Charles Demuth (1883-1935), showcasing artists, and inspiring new generations. Our collections, exhibitions, educational programs, and public initiatives of our two museums foster creativity and appreciation of art and artists.

  
The Demuth Artist Residency program was created to engage with an artist focused on drawing and/or painting to create a new body of work that’s rooted in our collection and artistic community. The residency program will support our mission by fostering deeper connections with contemporary artists and connecting today’s art world with Demuth’s pioneering style and vision for American Art.

  
We are offering **one six-week residency** that will be scheduled between June 23 and August 31, 2025.

Artists expected to fund all transportation costs to and from Lancaster, Pennsylvania and cover all meals during residency.

The Demuth Foundation will provide the selected resident artist:

* Access to the Foundation’s collections for study and research, including over 60 Charles Demuth original drawings, watercolors, and paintings.
* On-site third floor studio space with plenty of natural light and views of our historic city.
* Off-site housing for the duration of the residency.
* A $1,500 stipend and gift card to curio., a local art supply store.
* An opportunity to meet with local Lancaster-based artists for discussion and critique.
* A purchase of one piece for the museum’s collection from the work created during the residency.
