Artist in Residence Application | Surface Design Association Theda Sandiford, Double Dutch (detail) Surface Design Association's Artist in Residence Application All current SDA members are eligible to apply to Surface Design Association’s Artist in Residence (AiR) Program. There is no application fee, but artists must be current members of SDA. Our 2026-2027 application will be open from April 15 to August 14, 2026.
Surface Design Association’s Artist in Residence (AiR) Program is designed to build skills, leverage relationships, and offer support to early, mid-career and established fiber artists as they undertake studio projects that inspire artistic growth.
Held virtually over the course of an entire year (October to August), SDA’s AiR removes barriers allowing artists who might otherwise be unable to attend an in-person residency the opportunity to participate. The Artist in Residence will work with SDA to identify additional programming opportunities that best fit their skills and interests and will receive up to $2,000 in compensation for these additional activities.
Our goal is that each AiR receives additional programming compensation, beyond their base studio stipend of $2,000, bringing the total they receive up to $4,000. Our objective is to weave the artist in residence into all areas of SDA and to leverage the unique knowledge base of SDA staff and committee members to support the AiR as they hone skills that they’ll utilize beyond the residency. Several approaches are possible.
For example, the AiR might work with our editorial team to develop a Surface Design Journal article, receiving support and feedback throughout the process. Or perhaps the AiR is an experienced workshop instructor but has never taught online. SDA staff would work with the AiR to develop and execute an online workshop, offering technical support throughout.
SDA’s Artist in Residence is an annual program, with a new residency launching each September. This program is made possible by a generous grant from Lenore G. Tawney Foundation .
SDA’s Artist in Residence Program is designed to support artists in three main areas: Artistic Advancement : Nurture diverse early and mid-career artists during the creative process, from project conception to completed work. Underwrite studio time through dedicated stipend. Community Engagement : Cultivate high-quality, consistent arts programming for public audiences.
Professional Development : Support AiR in developing skills, sharing their work, accessing professional opportunities and building their creative network during and beyond the residency. SDA will provide mentorship throughout the residency.
Beyond that, this program is designed to serve the broader SDA community offering the opportunity to engage with one artist over the course of an entire year through a number of different platforms and public programs. October 2026: Residency begins. October 2026 to August 2027: AiR participates in SDA programming and works on dedicated studio projects.
September 2027: Project evaluation completed by staff and artist. The Artist Residency program is open to all current SDA members. Applications from established professional artists, emerging artists, and students are welcome.

House leadership canceled the September 21 and September 28 session weeks on September 3, leaving four legislative days before members leave until after the November 3 midterms. Three separate deadlines — the continuing resolution, the surface transportation extension, and the statutory freeze on OMB's grant-rule rewrite — now expire on the same day, with a lame-duck Congress and a handful of weeks to resolve them. Here is what that means for anyone holding or chasing a federal award.
