2026 South Fork Community Residency

Applications for our 5th annual South Fork Community Residency are now open!

Each December, we invite six selected artists of the East End to participate in our annual South Fork Community Residency. Working on-site at The Church, this residency presents a unique opportunity to foster creativity, community, and dialogue amongst a cohort of fellow artists.

For 2026, our Community Residency period will be from December 2nd - 15th. During this time, the ground floor of The Church will be transformed into individual studio spaces, each measuring approximately 12’ x 12’, complete with worktables, walls for hanging, access to a sink, and other amenities.

Housing is not provided during the Community Residency. This residency period is specifically designed to provide support for artists already living and working on the East End.

*Priority is given to artists who lack or have limited access to a designated studio space*

DEADLINE TO APPLY IS FEBRUARY 28th, 2026
