The Artwork Archive team set out to find the best art opportunities, artist grants, and calls for entry for visual artists in the Northeastern United States.

Below you will find a list of the top artist residencies, international open calls, artist grants, exhibition opportunities and art competitions that we believe will benefit artists, specifically in the Northeast.
