The admission process

Applications will be reviewed by the Director, the jury, and the board of directors.
You will receive a response to your application roughly two and half months after the deadline.
We assume that there will be more applicants than there will be spaces available and that some applicants, including some strong applicants, will not be accepted.
We cannot comment on applications or give feedback
What do we look for:

Quality of the project
Space available in Dora Maar House during the time requested
Fellowship funding availability
The applicant’s ability to work independently and to live in a small community of fellows
The applicant’s ability to represent the Fellows program well
The applicant’s ability to speak some French
The dynamics of the residents occupying Dora Maar House at any given time

How do I start to apply?

You must apply online through the Slideroom Application Portal. (https://nbnartistsresidency.slideroom.com) If you already have a Slideroom account, you still have to go through our site to access our Slideroom application portal (but you can use your same log-in information.)
Be careful that you are applying for the correct active program.
Please DO NOT wait until the last minute to complete your application.Technical problems have arisen in the past with applicants’ internet providers preventing them from meeting the deadline!
Your application is not deemed complete unless ALL of the supporting documents are submitted with the $25 fee.
Do not mail the $25 application fee to Dora Maar. This fee is for Slideroom and their services and must be paid online when your application is submitted.
