Opportunities abound if you know where to look. And not just any opportunities, but paid opportunities. Will these make you rich? Well, no. But not only will they enrich your artistic practice, bolster your resume and build your network, each of them comes with a modest monetary incentive. With deadlines around the corner, read on for three paid residency opportunities and see whether one of them is right for you.

Praxis Center is here for you. We bring you opportunities and help you with the tools you need to make them your reality. Will you land the first residency you apply for? All signs point to no. But that’s just one of the realities of choosing an artistic path and the only thing for it is to collect yourself and keep at it. When you join Praxis for just $40/month you get access to all the skills and motivation you need to make this a regular habit. Don’t limit yourself, if you see an opportunity that seems right for you, go for it. After all, you will never land a residency you don’t apply for.
