  The Fabric Workshop and Museum (FWM) invites contemporary artists to create new work using experimental materials and techniques. This internationally acclaimed Artist in Residence Program hosts emerging and established regional, national and international contemporary artists who have a demonstrated commitment to innovation and exploration. To that end, the FWM supports artistic experimentation by providing fees and materials to artists, and employing its facilities and staff to address their creative needs. Artists-in-residence are drawn from all disciplines, including painting, sculpture, architecture and design, conceptual and installation art, performance and video. Working collaboratively with the FWM's staff of printers and technicians, artists are introduced to new techniques, materials, and resources, and are thus able to realize projects that would not otherwise be possible. Through this collaborative creative process, artists stretch the boundaries not only of their own work, and of the creative possibility of the various media, but also of the larger development of contemporary art.

Fuel and material costs are the responsibility of the artist. The Foundation purchases clay and other necessary materials in large lots to keep the artists' costs low. Artists may consign their work for sale through the on-site Bray Gallery for a one third commission. Resident artists can find housing in the surrounding area, making their own arrangements. Most residents find it necessary to have a car.

  Corning Museum of Glass, One Museum Way, Corning, NY 14830-2253 USA

  The Corning Museum of Glass sponsors a program which makes available one or more annual grants totalling up to $10,000. Individuals and institutions may apply. There are no national residency requirements, and the results of the research may be reported in any language, but preference may be given to projects which will bring researchers to Corning to study the Museum's collections or to use its Library. Preference will be given to projects which will be completed with the funding available, rather than to projects which will only be advanced by this grant. Projects which are a portion of a larger program, and which are already being funded by others, are unlikely to receive the award. To summarise: The judges are looking for a project which will lead to a finished product within the funding limits and whose research will bring the recipient to Corning.
