Artiste en résidence BTFA 2026-2027

Black Trans Femmes in the Arts (BTFA) is accepting applications for its 2026‑2027 Artist‑in‑Residence program. The residency is open to US‑based, early‑career Black trans femme photographers and videographers who are over 18 and have between 2 and 10 years of experience creating and presenting their own work. Residents receive free access to a newly expanded 1,000 sq ft studio, equipment, an education and equipment stipend, career‑development counseling, and grant‑writing support. The standard residency lasts six months, but BTFA works with each artist to tailor the length and budget to individual needs. Applications close on 31 October 2026. No application fee is required.
