Weeklong Residency in Philadelphia

The Iron Factory is offering free weeklong residencies for individual artists or companies – local or visiting – for up to four people. Both residency options include accommodations in our 2nd floor loft and access to our 3rd floor studio from 8am-5pm.

PLEASE NOTE: 

These applications are for artists applying for a free "Visiting Artist Residency." Artists can also book a residency or nightly stays. See our residency rates for more information. 

For those who do not receive a residency, the application fee can be used toward a future rental at The Iron Factory.

​Who should apply?

Our residencies have been developed for artists in the initial creation of new work. We encourage applications from artists at various stages of their career, and welcome individual artists, companies, and collaboratives both local and visiting to apply.
