--- ## Description The Parent Residency Grant at Women's Studio Workshop is designed to support artist parents by providing a four-week residency in Rosendale, NY. The program offers unrestricted time and access to professional studio facilities, free onsite housing suitable for families, and a stipend to help offset living or childcare costs. Artists may work in intaglio, letterpress, papermaking, screenprinting, photography, or ceramics (with ceramics facilities reopening in 2026). The residency is structured to accommodate the unique needs of parents, including options for bringing a caregiver or co-parent, arranging for local childcare, or using the stipend to pay for childcare at home.
