Applications for Artist Commons are officially open. If you've been craving a more focused year for your art, one where you're not working alone, guessing about next steps, or relying on likes for feedback, this is your chance to raise your hand and apply to be a part of our 2026 cohorts. Artist Commons is a year-long, online artist development program for early- and mid-career artists who want thoughtful critique, structure, insight, and community. Here are the key dates: Early Admission Deadline: Saturday, December 20 Standard Admission Deadline: Saturday, January 10 Late Admission Deadline: Saturday, January 17 All you need to apply are examples of your recent work and some short written responses about your art practice and goals. We review applications on a rolling basis and send decisions within about one to two weeks of each deadline. There is no application fee. Applications submitted in the Late Admission window, which is the week before the program begins, include a $100 rush fee for accepted applicants. To keep the program accessible, we offer both partial and full scholarships. Simply fill out the Scholarship section on the last page of the application to be considered for one. Cohorts may fill before the final deadline, so it's a good idea to apply as early as you can. If this sounds like the kind of support you've been missing, I would love to see your application!
