Fogo Island Arts’ international residency program provides opportunities for artists from a wide range of disciplines to live and work on Fogo Island for periods ranging from one to three months. Artists-in-residence are provided with:

• accommodation
• studio space
• weekly stipend to offset the costs of materials, shipping, and day-to-day living expenses.
• Most travel expenses are also covered.

Artists-in-residence must give one public presentation, performance, workshop, or lead a similar event during their residency. 

FIA residencies are intended for professional artists with formal training or equivalent experience and recognition among their peers.

FIA launches an open Call for Residency Applications every two years. The application period for 2021-22 residencies is February 24 to March 23, 2020. Please note that there is an application fee.
