Ma’s House Artist Residency

About

Ma’s House Artist Residency, located on the Shinnecock Indian Reservation in Southampton, NY, offers U.S.-based BIPOC creatives a unique retreat-style residency in a quiet and remote setting. The residency, founded by visual artist Jeremy Dennis, is open to artists working in various disciplines, including visual arts, creative writing, performance, film, and interdisciplinary arts. Residents are encouraged to create work inspired by Shinnecock’s history, the local landscape, and critical engagement with issues of diversity, race, and identity. The residency can last from a weekend to two weeks, with artists from federally recognized tribes eligible for stays up to six months. Ma’s House provides a private bedroom, workspace, and basic art materials, with no application or residency fees. Thanks to support from Creatives Rebuild New York, resident artists receive a $250 per week honorarium. Artists are required to participate in at least one public program during their stay and are encouraged to engage with the local community and art institutions.
