Brandywine Workshop and Archives' "Where Legacy Meets Innovation" Artist Residency Program in 2026.


Global Visiting Artist Residency
Brandywine Workshop and Archives (BWA) begun it’s Visiting Artist Fellowship in 1975 with the residencies of Sam Gilliam and Romare Bearden. Since then, more than 400 artists have been invited to collaborate with master printers in the production of limited edition prints and art projects.
Visiting Artist Fellowships are open to artists nationwide and BWA annually brings to Philadelphia more than a dozen of the most talented artists. Selection is done by a peer panel consisting of members of the Brandywine Artist Advisory Committee.
It also provides several talented local artists the opportunity to work in a collaborative setting to publish limited editions. The fellowship application process is open to serious visual artists working in any medium based on artistic excellence, it is highly competitive and the residencies are highly prized.
From each edition created, the artist retains one-half of the signed edition, Brandywine retains work for sale to finance future residencies, inclusion in traveling exhibitions for placement in its permanent collection , for distribution in satellite collections at public institutions around the country as contributions to national arts and educational institutions (which have included the Harvard University Museums, University of Texas Austin, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Scripps College, University of Delaware Museums, Hampton University Museum and the Library of Congress, among others).
