Deadline: Ongoing
The submission deadline for the solo exhibition competitions will normally be the last day of each month. However, if enough entries are not received during a particular month, a rolling submission deadline may be set. In this case, these entries will be considered alongside following month’s entries. In the event we receive an overwhelming response from many exceptionally talented artists, we might decide to hold multiple solo exhibitions simultaneously.
The entry fee for up to 5 artworks is a flat $35 (non-refundable). Please make all artwork submissions in a single session.
All types of styles and mediums are welcome, including both 2D and 3D works, painting, sculpture, digital, printmaking, fiber, photography, graphic, mixed media, video, as well as experimental and installation works.
Solo Exhibition Competition Artist Benefits
Artist of the Year $1,000. Second Place and Third Place prizes will be determined at a later date based on submission volume. In addition to cash prize awards, solo exhibitions will be heavily promoted via Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. All competition winners will receive Award Certificates.
Testimonials
“I’m here for less than 4 weeks (I counted) and I have had at least a half a dozen inquiries and 1 sale. Guess how many sales I’ve had in 202? ZERO! That’s right, I had NO Sales last year.”
“Amazing website and much more amazing customer service. Very prompt and extremely courteous.”
“Art Show International’s Solo Exhibitions opened up a ton of opportunities for me. The icing on the cake was that I received a $200 cash from them for winning a prize at their competition. Highly recommended!!!”

Deadline: 23 Jan 2021
All applicants must be at least twenty-one (21) years of age and must be residents of New York State or Indian Nations therein ** (all counties). Residencies are for individual artists and writers. Saltonstall is unable to accommodate groups or pairs of people working together.
New in 2021: Accessibility space for an artist or writer! Saltonstall is currently building an accessible addition. It includes a private accessible living space with a roll-in shower, private accessible studio (for a visual artist or writer), shared accessible kitchen and dining area, accessible laundry facilities, and adjoining private suite for a personal care assistant if needed.
COVID, the unwanted guest
Saltonstall is under no illusions: The coronavirus will be with us — in some way — through next summer. They are planning a 2021 residency season because they believe they can offer a safe residency experience in a way that is responsible and responsive to the needs of artists and writers while protecting their health and that of the staff and local community.
2021 Saltonstall Residency Program Dates
Second annual six-night residency for artist/writer parents:
Thursday, June 3 – Wednesday, June 9. Please note: this residency is strictly for artist/writer parents who have at least one dependent child (under 18) at home.
Four-week residencies:
- Monday, June 14 – Monday, July 12
- Monday, July 19 – Monday, August 16
- Monday, August 23 – Monday, September 20
Two-week residencies:
- Monday, September 27 – Monday, October 11
- Saturday, October 16 – Saturday, October 30
Residencies provide artists time and private space to do their work without interruption. During one month at Saltonstall, residents are often able to complete at least 3-4 months worth of work. The shorter, two-week residencies have an identical effect. There are minimal chores, and restricted visitor hours ~ all of which allows for maximum focus on the artists work.
There is no cost to attend Saltonstall and no application fee associated with this application. Additionally, to help offset travel to Ithaca and other personal expenses, they have increased their stipends to $750 for each month-long Fellow, $375 for each two-week Fellow, and $200 for each artist/writer attending the six-night residency for parents.
About Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts
Saltonstall is situated in a beautiful and inspiring setting of fields and wooded hills, approximately eight miles from downtown Ithaca.
A Saltonstall residency is a small community. They strive to provide a quiet, inviting, respectful, and nurturing community for creative individuals looking for uninterrupted time to focus on their craft. Each residency is comprised of just five individuals: one poet, one writer, one photographer or filmmaker, and two visual artists.
Saltonstall believes in and values a diverse community of creative individuals. To that end, they hope that all artists and writers feel welcome to apply for a residency, regardless of one’s level of education, experience, race, age, sex, religious belief, marital status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or national origin.
