Ucross Foundation for Spring Artist Residencies

My favorite fellowships are those that provide lunch; this one does, although it also doesn’t come

with a stipend, but some things are more important than money, like lunch. Founded in 1981, the

Ucross Foundation provides uninterrupted time, work space, and living accommodations to

competitively selected visual artists, writers, and composers. Nearly thirteen hundred individuals

from every state in the U.S. as well as from Germany, France, Scotland, England, Poland, Egypt,

the Netherlands, Canada, and Thailand, have spent time at Ucross since it first opened its doors

in Sheridan, Wyoming. Residencies vary from two to six weeks. At any one time, there are up to

nine individuals in residence, representing a mix of visual artists, writers, and composers. In

most cases, studios are separate from living quarters. Lunch and dinners are prepared Monday to

Friday by a professional chef with ample provisions on hand for breakfasts and weekends. There

is no charge for a residency. Artists, writers, and composers from around the United States and

the world, in any stage of their professional career, are invited to apply to work on an individual

or collaborative project.
