Tirocinio post-laurea 2026

The Torpedo Factory Art Center’s 2026 Post‑Graduation Residency is a competitive juried program that provides emerging artists who have recently completed a bachelor’s or master’s degree in the visual arts with a three‑month solo studio space in the nation’s longest continuously operated community of publicly accessible artist studios. Residents receive free studio use with utilities, a $500 stipend per term for supplies, access to the Center’s facilities (including a spray booth for toxic media), the ability to sell work without commission, and support from staff and the wider artist community.

Eligibility requires a visual‑arts degree earned within the past five years and residence within 40 miles of the Center (greater Washington, DC region). Housing and travel are not provided.
