The international resident program is ideal for individuals seeking to invest in their personal studio practice, complete a special project, or that simply need uninterrupted time to work in an art studio with a supportive environment. 

We accept applications year round and are evaluated in about 2 to 6 weeks. New residents are selected by Taller Gingell and/or a rotating jury of other ceramic artists and curators. We maintain an inclusive, impartial, and open jury process. Submit what you feel is your strongest work. We request all necessary materials before assembling the jury.
