About Residencies

Based in Charleston, South Carolina, we offer a fully-funded residency program with juried selection, alongside less structured residency retreats for individuals and small groups.

FSA’s residency award program will host two artists at a time for a set number of weeks, twice annually. We welcome visual artists, performers, composers, choreographers, and other creatives, in addition to curators, writers, and theologians who are working on projects relating to spirituality. Residency awards are selected by a jury of noted figures in the fields of contemporary arts and faith. Awardee recipients will reside in our charming cottages for six week sessions. 

 

Known as the Holy City, Charleston is widely acclaimed as one of America’s top small cities, with a lively cultural scene, a remarkably well-preserved built environment, and a multi-layered history. We encourage those in residency to engage with the larger community, as we are happy to facilitate structured interactions with local arts and religious institutions.

Known as the Holy City, Charleston is widely acclaimed as one of America’s top small cities, with a lively cultural scene, a remarkably well-preserved built environment, and a multi-layered history. We encourage those in residency to engage with the larger community, as we are happy to facilitate structured interactions with local arts and religious institutions. These might take the form of artist-in-residences, public talks and workshops, or other personal endeavors.  

Alongside these structured residencies, we offer the opportunity for more informal stays for those who seek a quiet, contemplative space to work on specific projects over a short time period, whether as individuals or in a “creative pod” of two to four people.
