pedantic arts residency 2026

Casey Droege Cultural Productions (CDCP) in partnership with Headwater Media is pleased to host a call for applications for the next two rounds of Pedantic Arts Residency (Pedantic).

The Pedantic Arts Residency (Pedantic) is seeking applicants for creatives and researchers to participate in the Summer 2026 and Fall 2026 Terms. Entering its fifth year of operations, Pedantic continues its mission of re-embracing the impact that education, study, and contemplation can have on artistic output by interconnecting creators, organizers, and critics. As the program seeks new residents whose practices engage visual arts, curation, and writing, this unique opportunity invites rich cross-disciplinary dialogue and collective, exploratory immersion within Pittsburgh’s artistic and cultural landscape.

Different from previous years, Pedantic will be changing its yearly schedule and hosting the residency during the summer and fall. In lieu of having a winter term at the beginning of the year, Pedantic will welcome residents to Pittsburgh for the month of October.
