The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage’s Pew Fellow Artist Residencies
Since 2011, The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage has provided Pew Fellows with opportunities for residencies intended to push their artistic practice and broaden their horizons.
The Pew Fellows selected for these residencies find themselves in new surroundings—from the coast of California, to the rolling mountains of the Hudson Valley—thanks to a partnership between the Center and the Artist Communities Alliance.
These artist residencies are meant to extend the Center’s relationship with Pew Fellows beyond the given time period of their awards and contribute to a long-term impact on their work. The invaluable time to work diligently in new spaces and to network with artists across disciplines and beyond their local communities has the potential to impact the trajectory of a Pew Fellow’s career, opening up possibilities for new creative discoveries, which these artists can then bring home to the Philadelphia region.
To date, the Center’s residency partnerships have sent over 50 Fellows to residencies in the United States, Canada, and Italy. Currently active residency partnerships are with Art Omi, the Headlands Center for the Arts, and the Lucas Artists Residency Program at Montalvo Arts Center.
