This four-week long residency is awarded to up to two graduate students by New York Academy of Art faculty and a panel of judges including top architects and designers.  While studying at the Studio Corsanini in Carrara, Italy residents study under master sculptor Stephen Shaheen (MFA 2005).

Made possible by ABC Stone founder Jonathan Tibett with support from artist Stephen Shaheen, this residency aims to promote the use of stone in artistic practice by pairing young artists with master sculptors for experimental learning through intensive mentoring.

The University of Notre Dame Global Centre at Kylemore partners with the New York Academy of Art and Interface Studio, with support from a generous alumna to offer four Artist Residency Awards in the summer and four artist residency awards in the winter. 

Summer Residency:

The award includes room and board, access to studio space and an insertion in a cultural schedule of the Global Centre. The time spent in Ireland will be in Galway (1 week) and Kylemore Abbey (3 weeks) to be exposed to the Visual Arts in the urban and the rural landscapes. These residencies expose alumni to the Irish art world, build networks and the opportunity to exhibit in the Global Centre. The artists will be exposed to active Irish art studios, partake in visual arts of the locality, mix with local and international artists. Students will also receive faculty advice who will be appointed each year by committee. There will be an academic component and cultural program that will encourage an immersion into Irish Culture, history and geography. The residencies are awarded on the basis of merit and suitability. The Kylemore Notre Dame – New York Academy of Art Residency is awarded to two (2) graduating second-year students and two (2) alumni who has been out of the school for at least one academic year.

Winter Residency: 

The award includes shared room and board, and access to studio space. The time spent in Ireland will be at Kylemore Abbey (4 weeks) to be exposed to the Visual Arts in the urban and the rural landscapes. These residencies expose alumni to the Irish art world, build networks and the opportunity to exhibit in the Global Centre.  The residencies are awarded on the basis of merit and suitability. The Winter Kylemore Notre Dame – New York Academy of Art Residency is awarded to four (4) alumni.
**Please note: unlike the Summer Kylemore residency, all four (4) weeks will be spent at Kylemore Abbey.  The Winter residency is only open to artists who plan to work 2D and there will be fewer excursions with more emphasis on time to create artwork. Awardees are responsible for their air fare.

Two 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 semester. 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. A $12,000 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.

The Eric Fischl Fogo Island Arts Internship offers young artists the chance to gain valuable work experience in arts administration. The Eric Fischl Interns will act as support staff for four days per week in the administrative offices of Fogo Island Arts, a contemporary art venue and residency program for artists, filmmakers, writers, musicians, curators, designers and thinkers off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. The interns receive a stipend and will be provided with housing and transportation as well as studio space.

The Alumni Association of the New York Academy of Art (AANYAA) Fieldstones Residency is a summer escape in the northern Hudson Valley exclusively for one graduate of the New York Academy of Art. Spend two weeks focusing on their artwork in the peace of a 100-acre rural property complete with mountain views and a creek with a swimming hole. Bring hiking boots, marshmallows for the fire, and art supplies as you double down on your studio practice in a pastoral environment.

The selected alum will have access to Fieldstones’ artist studios in a large barn onsite. Please bear in mind that, despite Fieldstones’ many amenities (which include WIFI and hot water bathroom access), the location and lodgings are rustic. Upon acceptance, the selected alum will receive more information regarding what to pack for Fieldstones, as well as travel directions and info on local grocery stores.
