The Fine Arts Work Center offers an extraordinary residency program for visual artists and writers in the crucial early stages of their careers. Located in Provincetown, Massachusetts – an area with a long history as an arts colony – the Work Center provides Fellowships to 20 Fellows (10 visual artists and 10 writers) each year in the form of living, work

space and a modest monthly stipend. Residencies run for seven months from October 1 through April 30. Fellows have the opportunity to pursue their work independently in a diverse and supportive community of peers.
