You may notice that we’re doing fewer group residencies by application this season. This is because we are adapting programming around an exhibition that we are planning for 2026 called Maintenance Schedule. Some of our residency programming will be focused on artists working towards that exhibition. If you are interested in learning more info about Maintenance Schedule check the FAQ on our Wedding Cake House Residencies Info page.

SAMPLE APPLICATION QUESTIONS

 

SECTION 1

Application Basics (note this is slightly different depending on if you choose Group or Duo on the form): Name (or names if a joint application), e-mail, phone #

 

We are able to accommodate: individuals, partners or small teams who want to come together (and  participate fully as either individual artists or collaborators) sharing a room. We have rooms with queen/king beds that can be shared, as well as rooms that have an additional small or pull out bed. If you are looking to apply as a pair or small group sharing one room, please indicate that here. Note, most of this application addresses the applicant using the pronoun "you", however if you are applying as a pair or group please feel free to include information for each person, or for the collaborative project if more appropriate. (multiple choice)

I’m applying:

• Solo

• As two artists that can share a bed (for group residencies only)

• As two artists that would like a room with 2 beds

• As a trio - two of us can share a bed and another person can sleep on the pullout bed

SECTION 2: SPECIFICS
 

Project description: Please describe in 500 words or less what you’d like to work on during a residency at the Wedding Cake House. Please describe realistic projects/or ongoing progress on an existing project that takes into account the specifics of this residency i.e. you’ve likely got about 60-100 hours give or take a little depending on how much you socialize/sleep. It's ok if your description is loose and you change it up at some point. However, if you do anticipate using certain facilities or know what media you’ll be working with, that’s very helpful to describe here.

 

About You: Please use this space to link to something that will give reviewers a sense of where you are in your artistic trajectory. This could be: a resume, a CV, a timeline, or a short 1-2 paragraph bio outlining your creative path. If applying as more than one artist, include info for each artist in the group

 

Work Samples: paste links below: Still images: 8 -12 max. Please put these into a google slide presentation and share a link below. Video or audio: 5 minutes or less - please share as a link. Writing: 5 pages or less - please share as a link to a google doc or pdf. If your work is interdisciplinary, we're pumped, but be reasonable! If you're going to share work in multiple formats, provide less in each format. If you are sharing a google doc link, make sure the link is set so that "anyone can view"

 

• I have read all of the information in the WCH Winter Group Residency document (link). I understand that if I am invited to participate in a residency that I must provide proof of vaccination and fill out an emergency medical contact form.
