Three alumni are chosen annually to teach and create art on campus at West Nottingham Academy, located near the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. Each resident is on campus for one trimester (fall, winter, or spring). Residents are given a private studio, an apartment in the Faculty Dormitory, three meals a day at the campus dining facility, access to a campus car as needed, an exhibition at the beginning of the residency, and the opportunity to present their work to the West Nottingham community in the form of an Artist Talk. An $8,000 stipend is awarded to support the work and to cover any unforeseen expenses during the residency, generously provided by Academy Senior Critic and West Nottingham alumnus Eric Fischl.
