Grants & Services for Artists
Cultural Exchanges
GCAC, in partnership with Columbus Sister Cities International, supports cultural exchanges and international arts programming, which promotes an understanding of the world around us. In addition to out permanent residency in Dresden, we support area organizations with their international arts programming.
Residency in Dresden
All past winners of the Individual Artists Fellowships in visual arts, as well as artists who reached the final round of consideration for visual arts fellowhsips within the previous year, are eligible to apply for a residency in Dresden, Germany, one of Columbus' sister cities. Past recipients of the GCAC residencies are not eligible to apply. Each year two Columbus artists are awarded two-to-three month residencies, which include a stipend, airfare, studio space, and housing in Dresden.
Columbus artist Melissa Vogley Woods is currently in Dresden for her residency. Read her blog, A Stitch in the Ditch, to find out more about her time in Germany and visit her Web site to learn more about Melissa.
