Jentel Artist Residency
About this opportunity
The Jentel Artist Residency, 20 miles southeast of Sheridan, Wyoming, in the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains, offers visual artists, writers and composers roughly three weeks of uninterrupted time to work. Each resident receives a private room, a separate studio and a $300 stipend, with six residents on site each session between January and December. Jentel averages around 350 applications for 66 residencies a year, and selection is based on artistic merit and promise.
Application tips
Jentel is a low-tech, no-equipment residency, so bring your own materials and laptop and make sure your proposal fits the available studio spaces. May to September dates are the most heavily requested. There is a $30 non-refundable application fee and a $100 reservation deposit once awarded.
