2026 Fall Returning Residency for FAWC Community
Registration for our 2026 Fall Returning Residency isnow open for FAWC community members. The Returning Residency Program is open to current and past Summer Workshop Program instructors and students, current and past FAWC staff members and board members, past Collaborative Residents, and alumni of the MassArt/FAWC MFA program.
As a result of a very strong response by the Fellows, who have the opportunity to register for the Returning Residency before we open it to the FAWC Community, there are only a few spots left.
Specifically, we have two studios (Brewster 3 and 6) and one 2-bedroom (Barn 1) available, and only in the 4th week, which is September 13-19, 2026.
If you are interested in any of these apartments for the 4th week of the Fall Returning Residency, we urge you to register as soon as possible, as they will fill up extremely quickly.
Please contact Education Programs Manager Alexis Wright at awright@fawc.org with any questions. You can also contact her if registration is full and you would like to be added to the waitlist.

Accessibility
FAWC is committed to making our facilities and programs accessible to artists and writers with disabilities. If you need any accommodations to participate in our Returning Residency, please let us know by emailing Education Programs Manager, Alexis Wright, at awright@fawc.org. We will do all we can to accommodate you.
Service and Emotional Support Animals
We will accommodate service animals without question, as well as emotional support animals, with a document that includes the name of your diagnosed condition(s) and a recommendation for an emotional support animal. It must be written and signed by a licensed mental health professional who can legally practice in your state. The letter must include the practitioner’s license number. An emotional support animal is a type of assistance animal that is recognized as a “reasonable accommodation” for a person with a disability under the federal Fair Housing Act.”
Otherwise, we must ask you to please leave your pets at home.
FAWC maintains several pet-free units for individuals with allergies or related concerns.
