CALL FOR ARTISTS: Open AIR seeks artists for place-based residencies in Montana

Applications are now open for Summer 2026, Fall 2026, and Spring 2027 residencies. Artists working in all mediums are invited to apply for place-based, immersive artist residencies that connect art, community, and Montana’s diverse landscapes.

This year’s CALL FOR ARTISTS offers 13 residency site opportunities across the state—from remote wilderness areas to historic cultural landmarks—artists are provided time, space, and resources to create and engage with local communities. Each individual residency provides studio space, housing, a stipend, and resources to support creative exploration of place.
