Apply for a Residency

The two-month residency terms are designed to provide an immersive focus on a project or body of work that responds to the history and legacy of James Castle or the site. Taking inspiration from Castle’s curious and observant nature and his daily creative practice, this residency is open to artists, scholars, creators, and professionals working in any field. Residents are provided a $4,000 stipend to support to assist with living expenses and supplies necessary to create work. Residents will share their creative practice and process with our community through several public events throughout their stay, including, but not limited to, workshops, open studios, and presentations. At the end of their term, residents will donate a selected piece reflecting their time at the James Castle House and congruent with the quality and style of work portrayed in their application. This piece will be part of the larger collection owned by the City of Boise.
