Joan Mitchell Center FAQ

I’m an artist. How do I apply for a residency?: Residencies at the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans are available for artists who have previously received a grant from the Foundation, as well as to New Orleans-based artists. Each Spring, eligible artists are invited to apply, and the link to the open call application for New Orleans artists is posted on this website. Residency awards are decided through a jury review process.
