Questions artists ask
Useful answers, without the fog.
What qualifies as fully funded here?
The official terms must state that the programme covers its core participation costs or provides direct funding. A free application alone is not enough. Travel, materials, visas or meals may still be excluded, so each listing separates the funding label from the itemised support.
Are stipend opportunities the same as fully funded?
Not always. A stipend contributes cash, but it may be smaller than accommodation, travel or material costs. This page includes both funded and stipend-paying opportunities because artists searching for paid support need to compare what the payment actually covers.
Can a funded residency still have an application fee?
Yes. Some programmes cover the residency itself while charging a processing fee to apply. The funding label describes support after selection; the entry-fee field describes the application. Both numbers remain visible so the programme is not presented as costless from the beginning.
Are travel costs normally included?
Travel support varies widely. Some programmes reimburse a capped amount, some award need-based grants, and others leave every journey to the artist. Unless the official terms name travel support, this database does not fold it into the funded claim or assume a zero cost.
