Weir Farm Opens Applications for 2027 Artist Residencies

Weir Farm National Historical Park is accepting applications for its 2027 Artist-in-Residence Program through January 31, 2027. A jury will select 6 visual artists for month-long residencies at the park between May and October 2027.

Background

Artists working in painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, sculpture and mixed media may apply through the online open call. Additional application details are available on the park’s website.

More than 250 artists have participated in the program since it began. It is among more than 50 artist residencies offered by the National Park Service nationwide.

The Friends of Weir Farm National Historical Park, the park’s authorized philanthropic partner, supports the program. The organization received grants from Connecticut-based Tauck in 2025 and 2026 to help fund the residency program.
