Petrides Residency 2027: Fully Funded New York Digital Art Studio for Greek Artists 30+
The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) has opened applications for the Petrides Residency, an international opportunity for one Greek visual artist to spend three months in New York City during 2027. Eligible practices include digital and electronic art, film/video, photography and other visual-art disciplines. The programme is particularly relevant to established emerging and mid-career artists who can make substantial creative use of the Independent Study & Curatorial Program (ISCP) studio setting.
Who is eligible?
Applicants must be at least 30 years old at the time of application, hold a valid Greek passport, and have resided full-time in Greece for at least the preceding two years. They must be professional visual artists, proficient in English and not enrolled in a full-time degree programme. Digital and electronic artists can apply, but having Greek ancestry alone while living abroad does not satisfy the published eligibility requirements.
Funding and residency dates
The residency runs from 1 October to 31 December 2027 at ISCP in Brooklyn, New York. The published support includes access to studio and curatorial resources, a stipend of US$3,000 per month across three months (US$9,000 total), plus US$1,000 earmarked for airfare and local transportation. Applicants should check whether those amounts cover their expected housing, insurance, taxes and living costs; 'fully funded' refers to the stated programme provisions, not unlimited expenses.
Deadline and application materials
NYFA opened the application on 20 October 2026 and lists the deadline as 8 December 2026 at 5 p.m. Eastern Time. Submit via the NYFA online application platform, with an artist statement, biography or CV, work samples and project information in the requested formats. The programme's file and media restrictions should be followed precisely; late or incomplete submissions are unlikely to be considered.
