In Situ Polyculture Commons (ISPC) has launched a new opportunity for a remote residency in 2026. These ‘In Situ At Home’ residencies are specifically designed for artists, writers, and creative researchers for whom travel to a residency would create hardship, be unfeasible, or at least be very difficult to coordinate.
Artists thrive with space and time for their creative practice, access to creative community, and some accountability, so ISPC has launched this new programme to offer these things to artists unable to travel for residency by providing: remote and flexibly scheduled studio visits, remote critique discussions with a cohort of remote colleagues, and material support that will help artists to designate time, space, and energy to their craft and creative work.
The In Situ At Home remote residency will be awarded to 3-5 individuals who will comprise the residency cohort. The cohort will meet for moderated group critique discussion with working artists, curators, and critics from the ISPC board, staff, and alumni community. Each resident will also receive two solo studio visits with these moderators. Scheduling will be determined by resident availability and will be flexible. Remote residents will be expected to be participatory contributors to critique discussions, and use the cohort structure to develop support and dialogue with their colleagues. Remote residents will also be invited to participate in the 2026 ISPC Online Exhibition.
Awarded residents may request reimbursement for any expenses related to making space and time for their creative practice and research as a Remote Resident, up to 600 USD. The application does require a budget proposal and receipts for reimbursement.
