Lens-Based Artist Residency — Miami Sep 2026 (Stipend + Travel)

Since its founding in 2020, the WOPHA Artist-in-Residence program has been a vital space for supporting lens‑based women artists, providing a month‑long opportunity to focus on creative development and connect with Miami’s dynamic cultural landscape. This program offers artists the opportunity to step away from daily demands and immerse themselves in an environment built for research, experimentation, and community engagement.
The residency is hosted in September 2026 in partnership with El Espacio 23, a prominent contemporary art space. Housed within a beautifully renovated 28,000‑square‑foot warehouse, El Espacio 23 serves as both an exhibition space and an artist residency hub, featuring three apartments and a shared workspace. The residency provides comfortable living and working accommodations, including a private kitchen, laundry, bathroom, and a shared studio, balancing personal focus and collaborative possibilities.
As part of the program, each artist receives a $2,500 stipend to support material purchases, ground transportation, and meals. Round‑trip airfare is also provided to ensure artists have everything they need to fully immerse themselves in the experience. In return, artists are expected to commit to the entire month and take an active role in engaging with Miami’s vibrant art community.
