FAQ

Q: Can we apply as a duo?
A: Yes, as long as both artists are living and working in the region, you're welcome to apply as a duo. It is helpful to include your collaborative projects in the submitted materials. If selected for a residency, artist duos will share the same resources (stipend, materials budget, etc.) that individual artists receive. 

Q: What do you consider regional? 
A: For the purposes of this call, we define it as artists living and working within 75 miles of Pittsburgh. 

Q: Does the Mattress Factory have studios available for the residency? 
A: No, the museum does not have traditional studio spaces, artists typically work in the spaces that they exhibit in. 

Q: I applied to the 2021 open call and was selected for a studio visit, but wasn't selected for a residency, can I apply again?
A: Yes! Because the selections are made by different curators each time, they will bring very different perspectives and interest to their decision process.

Q: I still have questions, can I contact you directly? 
A: Yes, please use the link on the top of this page titled "Contact"
