Description of Program |
The program accepts artists working in a wide range of disciplines, but is best able to accommodate visual artists and writers. Fellowships are six weeks in length, occur year round and provide fellows with housing, food, studio space, a $250 travel allowance and a $1,500 stipend. Artistic excellence is the primary criteria for acceptance as a Lighthouse Works fellow. |
Conditions/Public Service Requirements |
While in residence, fellows’ primary obligation is to the solitary pursuit of their work but every fellow is asked to participate in an artist talk on the first weekend of the fellowship and to open their studio for an afternoon at the session’s conclusion.
Partnership with the Fishers Island School:
Holding the belief that skill-sharing and dialogue around the practice of making and looking at art is important to the education of the youth in our community, Lighthouse Works is committed to facilitating dynamic artist-led workshops in collaboration with the Art and English department at the Fishers Island School.
Though not required of fellows, Lighthouse Works does encourage each to consider leading one of these workshops. Since the founding of the program, fellows have led over 30 workshops in poetry, fiction, painting, printmaking, sculpture, collage, film photography, darkroom processing, and darkroom and printing.

Each fellow has a private bedroom but shares bathrooms, a kitchen and living space. The house is always stocked with food (with dietary needs accommodated), and most nights the directors cook for—and eat dinner with—the fellows.
Lighthouse Works has studio spaces in the Ferry Annex building located adjacent to Silver Eel Cove where the ferry arrives and departs the island. Our studios are private, flooded with light and face the ocean.
Additionally, The Lighthouse Works has a wood and metal shop, a paragon kiln, a black and white darkroom and a letterpress print shop. All of which are available to our fellows. |
