abbott watts residency for photography

In the fall of 2021, Monson Arts launched a new residency opportunity specifically for photographers. The Abbott Watts Residency for Photography at Monson Arts was established to support imagination, innovation and creative risk-taking for artists advancing the photographic medium.

This unique opportunity coincides with the general visual arts and writing residencies that take place throughout the year at Monson Arts. Five placements per year are reserved for the Abbott Watts Photography Resident.

2026 session dates are:

• 9/14 – 9/24 (two week)

• 10/28 – 11/19 (four week)
