All applicants for residencies should submit a completed Residency Application 2010/2011 form along with a US$45 application fee. Enclose a one- to two-page proposal on paper, outlining creative intent, equipment needs, skill level and experience with intended materials and processes, the type and amount of previous experience at Pilchuck, if any, and the scope of the project (i.e., preparations and plans for the project before and after the residency period). Also required from each participant is a CD on which is saved a résumé or curriculum vitae, ten (10) numbered images of recent work saved as .jpg files formatted for PC and no larger than 1 MB each, and a corresponding image description list saved as a Word or WordPad file for PC. Each applicant must also submit two (2) letters of recommendation.

For group applications such as the Hauberg or PAiR programs, one person should coordinate the application package by submitting one (1) group application form and one (1) group proposal. Also include a separate document listing the names of all participants along with each individual’s complete contact information, age, and current occupation as well as résumé or curriculum vitae, recommendations, and visual images for each group member. Mail all materials together as one application package.
